Morning all
the dog needed to go out, so I’m up.

[NickFitz]

This evening’s viewing was more of the Lockerbie thing, in which tiny pieces of circuit board are a bit of a giveaway, while the CIA is trying its best to be as unhelpful as possible

And later, I read more of Just a Shot Away in which the Altamont concert has started degenerating into mayhem almost immediately

Thursday tomorrow!

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been burger and chips

Very Simpsonesque out there now

This morning, the dishwasher did its magic, and this afternoon it was the turn of the mundane laundry

[ladymuck]

Afternoon all

There's been and now it's just cloudy with occasional sunshine. Currently 15 degrees and the high was 16. There might be more rain later. Barometer up to 1007 mBar.

Sunrise 05:29; Sunset 21:16 BST

A quiet day. I did some washing up while HWMBO and his eldest went grocery shopping. Logged on to gig1 for a couple of hours to justify billing. Had a look about for more work (none suitable found). I'm quite enjoying the time off but I know I'll start getting very bored next week.

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a Pukka steak slice

[xoggoth]

Scrabble with old lady neighbour called off as she has to see a dentist so nowt social to do today. Been fixing me bin storage thing this morning. Walk planned later takes me past a sewage works, what fun.

Where did we go? Most odd.

No idea! It was returning blank pages, but they were the result of a 500 Server Error. Then for a while it was working but every URL returned the home page - I’d not seen that one before!

[WTFH]

Morning all
I almost did some work there while the system was down.

Murky earlier, then the sun came out, but it's overcast again. No rain forecast.

[NickFitz]

Ah, we're back

Morning denizens

It's a gloomy grey day out and there's been a brief bit of drizzle. It's also pretty windy, so the current 19°C "feels like" 16° and the expected high is only 22°, for which much thanks. The barometers are up very slightly at 999/1007mB

[NickFitz]

This evening’s viewing was E2 of the Lockerbie thing

And tonight’s reading was Just a Shot Away: Peace, Love, and Tragedy with the Rolling Stones at Altamont by Saul Austerlitz

Wind’s windy out there

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been lamb cutlets with chips and beans

We’ve had a couple of showers, and the wind’s getting up

[xoggoth]

Old fart arty this morning. Tiny bit of rain but so little almost none of it would have reached the ground. At least it was nice and cloudy on me walky.

[ladymuck]

The Kelpies were very fine. The ride on the Falkirk Wheel was good although probably better if done as part of a boating holiday rather than the somewhat tourist thing we did.

It's been a sunshine and showers type day but there's now yellow warnings of rainfall.
