Morning Afternoon all.

Monday.

Dry.

Grey.

Wanly sunny if you use some imagination.

Calm. Windless (aside from me).

Chilly in here at 11.9 deg, 12 deg in the kitchen, 10 deg in the leanto.

1022 mBar, 30.18 in Hg, 766.56 Torr, 14.8228 psi, (up from 1019 last night), 62% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 13th of December 2019 WTFH was packing prior to going on his hols, BR14 popped in, according to LM there was A Storm Coming, while according to me The Future Was Not Written, DaveB recommended the AK, whereas I preferred the more concealable Glock (nasty plastic thing).

Shopping trip to Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey. Knackered now.

Morning all

It started off sunny but is rapidly clouding over. Currently 7 degrees ('feels like' 4) with a high of 8 expected. Rain forecast from mid afternoon onwards. Barometer at 1024 mBar.

Yesterday was much the same. The rain started just as HWMBO and I finished putting a load of stuff into my storage unit and I just got a bit damp and windswept on the walk home from dropping off the zipvan.

HWMBO goes home today and I am supposed to be working but have realised I need to buy three gifts before I drive down to Sussex tomorrow.

Morning
seeing better is ever so slow
must be
It IS getting better though, so that's something.
however, despite these challenges: Sharypovo, Russian Federation in 31 moves! (6 x 6 map)

I see I failed to bid TPD goodnight, probably because if the migraine. For the record, aside from Monkey Life yesterday's only viewing was a bit of Big Jet TV at Heathrow and an old 24 Hours in A&E while later, Sherston/Sassoon left the hospital only to find he's off to Ireland, his unit having been posted there rather than the Front

This morning starts with patchy cloud low down but the chance of sunshine a bit later. It's only 2°C but may get to 7° for a bit later. The barometers have bounced back to 1011/1020mB

My new recliner is being delivered later on, so I need to prepare for that

[NickFitz]

For no clear reason, I have been struck down by a migraine

It started with aura taking over a chunk of my vision around three this afternoon, which then dispersed to be replaced by a headache, which is continuing through the present moment

I reheated some shepherd's pie for my tea which was nice, but doesn't seem to have analgesic properties

Usually when I'm lucky with three letters I am left with a multiple choice for the other two!

Just back from village club, half lager, following another toothpaste inspection. MUD MUD MUD!

[NickFitz]

Gordon Bennet! Just got Wordle in 2 goes, 4 out of 5 letters right on first geuss. The god of Wordle must like me.

Getting it in 2 goes is the best. If you get it in 1, that's just the luck of the draw. But getting it in 2 means you can definitely ascribe it to pure skill

Sausage rolls for lunch

Morning.

Sunday.

Wet.

Sunny.

Windy.

Chilly in here at 11.4 deg, 11 deg in the kitchen, 9 deg in the leanto, 6.4 deg in the saltinghouse.

1006 mBar, 29.707 in Hg, 754.56 Torr, 14.59 psi, (up from 1005 last night), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 12th of December 2019 NF was making soup, and I was having liver, bacon & onion gravy, followed by viewing S4 of Angel where Jasmine appears, definitely not my favourite since a thing about model railways took over due to lack of appeal.

Semigale.

April in December.

Shirts in off the line & in the TD.

Shirts out of the TD & smalls in off the line & in the TD.

Just had a ?sparrow hawk? on the lawn. Dunno if it caught anything but there's a lot of feathers about.

Lunch: brunch.

Towels & socks in off the line & in the TD. Still blowy out there but it's picking with rain too.

Everything out of the TD & airing upstairs. Shirts roughly iRoned ditto, along with those cottons requiring said iRon.

Done for another week.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked. It rained spits & spats on me for a while, but I was brave and carried on.

Tea: beans on toast etc. Nice enough.

Entertainment: some tosh on R4 that I've now completely forgotten.

More other book.

Some bollox on Sky Mix about dashcam vids. No one died, so no snuff vids. Mildly amusing and rather alarming in parts. Lots of WTF?

Bomb squad on More4.

It was a bright and sunny start but almost immediately clouded over and is now very gloomy and… I was going to say raining, but it's snowing!

It's not going to settle or anything so it's functionally equivalent to rain, but it's definitely big, wet flakes and not raindrops. It's supposedly 3°C yet feeling like -6°, whatever that feels like, and getting as high as 6° this evening. The barometers are trivially down at 991/999mB

[NickFitz]

Today saw the usual batch of Monkey Life and other stuff

And this evening I finished Memoirs of an Infantry Officer, being part two of the trilogy, in which George Sherston/Siegfried Sassoon makes a public statement against the continuation of the war and refuses to resume his duties; but rather than the court martial and imprisonment he expected, the authorities discreetly deem that he has shellshock and stick him in a military hospital in Edinburgh, well out of the way

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

For tea tonight, I went for a walk round to the kebab shop

[NickFitz]

NF was sans whatever they'd prescribed to replace the stuff he'd previously been taking due to some inefficiency with the prescription

In the end, the replacement turned out to be better than the other stuff - and not just because it didn't contain carcinogens

Sausages in finger rolls for lunch
