Lunch was herby chicken, tomato and lentil soup with a bit of wholemeal

Minor panic halfway through it as I suddenly remembered there were various meetings this afternoon. But it turned out I had thirty minutes left until the first one

For those who like such things, The Chain (1984) written by Jack Rosenthal and starring such luminaries as Nigel Hawthorne, Leo McKern, Warren Mitchell, and Anna Massey is on Talking Pics TV at 11:15

And I got up early enough to get the last of the laundry done and hung about.

Morning all

Lovely sunny day, warm in the sunshine, chilly in the shade. Currently 8 degrees with a high of 9 expected. Light showers forecast overnight. Barometer significantly up to 1024 mBar.

Off to Sofia again today, back this evening. Currently delayed but the bonus is that the flight has changed to T3 for the summer schedule so I get to visit the Cathay Pacific, Qantas, American Airlines and the BA lounges (although why bother with the BA lounges when there's CX to go to).

Morning.

Monday.

Dry.

Sunny.

Chilly in here at 12.8 deg, 12 deg in the kitchen, 11 deg in the leanto, 7 deg in the saltinghouse.

1022 mBar, in Hg, Torr, psi, (up from 1017 last night), 75% RH (GDR hair), 70% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 15th of May 2019 I donated some books to Oxfam (that must have been a long stagger from the docks to Castle street), while the SS Galatea, a buoy vessel, was leaving the docks, and someone had found some work for me to do, while NF had scored some cumberland sausages by mistake.

Smalls in the WM.

Smalls out of the WM & pegged out on the line.

Cottons in the WM.

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

Walked down to catch the 34 rather than waiting for the X7, but the 34 was late, so I missed the 34 on the way back by a second, caught the 204 instead.

Lunch: poached tomato and scrambled egg on Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin seed toasted crust, bramble jelly and marmalade on slices of lightly toasted toast, red corner yog, 0.91*1.51 pints of good Glengettie tea.

Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about the usual whines & complaints.

TWATO.

Shirts in off the line & roughly iRoned whilst listening to

The Infinite Monkey Cage: Magic Materials.

Morning denizens

Ripply clouds with gaps letting the sun through quite often out there this morning. Chilly still at 2°C, maybe reaching 8° later, and the barometers have soared upwards to 1013/1021mB

Feeling rather BST-lagged today; a night plagued by odd and occasionally unsettling dreams hasn't helped

morning all

[NickFitz]

There was supposed to be a new episode of 24 Hours in A&E but it started with an old introduction from St. George's in London rather than the Nottingham one, and the first patient was a woman who fell backwards into an empty swimming pool, who I saw in an old one a few weeks ago. So it's either a clip show or a repeat. Therefore I watched an old one I haven't seen instead

And then I started reading Lies We Sing to the Sea by Sarah Underwood, which is about a young oracle who's sacrificed to Poseidon by the prince of Ithaca, only for Poseidon to save her life, albeit changing her into something not quite human, so she can avenge him for something Odysseus had done centuries before that had annoyed him.

Goodnight all

[ladymuck]

The bed was made earlier when doing one of many trips with laundry.

Just remembered that the WM beeped a good while ago and I've not rescued the contents for draping about. This means that the last load, HWMBO's shirts, have not been washed but he's not back until Wednesday so I've plenty of time yet. I'm not putting another load on now as that means I'll have to stay up to wait for it to finish.

[NickFitz]

And on a 'chury too! (Not that WTFH will appreciate that, being on a different post count an' all)

I like the tag on the birthday thread

Tea has been a nice big fry-up

And TV has been the usual Canadian customs and New Zealand traffic cops

[ladymuck]

Much laundering has been done. Although it took several hours for me to get started on it because I was updating my naff travel blog with my travels.

I remember this forum when lickspittles used to wish mods a happy birthday in the hope of us looking favourably on them. Doesn’t seem to happen any more.

Just popped over to The Place of the Bins and left votive offerings

I was going to postpone it as there were several pigeons near the edge of the lawn and I didn't want to disturb them. But then some people came out of one of the other blocks and disturbed them anyway. I ended up disturbing one of the squirrels instead, which bounded off across the lawn. But they do that anyway, so I don't think I actually inconvenienced it at all
