TV today has been the usual wildlife stuff in the afternoon, culminating in the orangutan school, followed by the usual run of endlessly repeated police programmes

Getting an early night now, though any benefit accruing therefrom will be eradicated by the menace of British Summer Time commencing

Goodnight all

Conversation about an hour ago…
Me: It feels like my eyelids are on fire.
The Wife^TM: That’s not possible.
Me: No really
She goes off and gets an infrared thermometer. Points it at my eyes. It comes back at 38.2^oC. First thought is thermometer is reading high. She measures herself, all normal. So, it turns out my eyes and chest are 38.2, my face is 37.7.
Now, with a few things taken (I don’t ask, just take them), I’m off to bed.

Sounds unpleasant!

Hope it clears up soon

No takeaway tonight; tea has been Scotch broth with a couple of bits of wholemeal, following on from a late lunch of ham sandwiches

[ladymuck]

Landed about 2 hours late. Apparently the delay was due to French strikes.

Two hours late leaving Heathrow. I have been tracking it on FR24 to make sure it turns up.

Flight home is delayed by 90 mins.

Meanwhile on the 14th of May 2019 NF had assembled a pile of PCW mags that was 3 or 4 feet tall, whilst I'd forgotten to fill the bird feeders and WTFH had missed a shot at a rat.

The thing about Skunkworks is on tomorrow which explains why I couldn't find it in the EPG today.

"Fortress Britain" with that Alice Roberts: E1: Henry VIII. . This isn't cutting the mustard it must be said. Then again, very little seems to do that these days.

The first half hour of T3.

The Lindbergh baby. Lindbergh was slightly right of Attila the Hun and good mates with a fair number of the leading lights of the National Socialist Party, being a believer in eugenics. Which might have turned out rather badly for his disabled son. Lindbergh ran the investigation into the kidnapping and patsy went to the chair.

Morning all

Sunny with lumps of fluff. Currently 20 degrees with a high of 22 expected. Back home it looks like it's cloudy but dry with a high of 13 degrees.

Hungover. Had a lovely dinner out and too much wine. HWMBO says the buffet breakfast is excellent. I just had some fruit and coffee.

Flight home is delayed by 90 mins.

Tonight's major motion picture premiere was Fall (2022) in which a couple of rock climbing gals ascend a derelict 2000ft high TV tower for YouTube views, but are unexpectedly deprived of the route of descent once at the top. It does make use of several tropes commonly found among the "lost with no way out" genre, but all in all, I thought it was pretty good

And then a rewatch of The Fugitive (1993) which, it seems, I first watched back in June 2017. The train crash is still very good, as is the film as a whole

Finally, a couple more episodes of The West Wing. They're getting into the campaign now, which TBH tends to be a bit dull if you aren't American and can therefore see how ridiculous presidential campaigns are over there rather than taking it for granted as something Serious and Important

Goodnight all

In better news, the cameras have picked up a hedgehog that has emerged from hibernation - and where it appeared in the garden implies that it was using the wine box house I built for it.

Go Hedgehog! And Go Hedgehog Wine Box House Builder!
