Lots of Monkey Life this morning, including the arrival of Oshine from South Africa who immediately set about undoing the bolts in the orangutan nursery

And after the journey south, I was back in time for some of the US borders and NZ policing stuff.

Later, another new Saving Lives in Cardiff, and an old 24 Hours in A&E

And I read a bit more of To Catch a Spy in which the British government has lost massively in the Australian courts

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been the leftover pork cutlet from the other night, with chips and beans

Driving down and back, and shifting stuff, I felt OK and thought I must be over the lurgy. Then around five, an overwhelming tiredness hit me like a ton of bricks, with occasional bouts of lightheadedness thrown in for good measure. So I should probably take this as a warning not to overexert myself for a few more days

Really good drive down to Sussex. Normal sort of drive back.

A very sub-optimal parking space secured, which means I'll be keeping a close eye out for a new one to move into over the next few days.

A brief rain shower has occurred. And a check of the weather app shows that further rain is expected off and on all evening.

Late lunch of the last couple of Greggs sausage rolls out of the freezer

Home again after the trip south. As expected, not everything would fit into a Corolla in one trip, so various other articles have been stored temporarily in the conservatory

My brother-in-law was there to help me with loading, which was handy as my back is complaining a bit at the moment. But I had to get them out myself at the storage place on the way home. The only one that was at all problematic was a blanket chest, which is very solidly built and a lot heavier than I'd realised

Anyway, today's load is stored for now, except for a fairly large rug which I brought back here

Morning all

Sunny, dry. High level wispy bits here and there. Currently 15 degrees with a high of 21 expected. Barometer down a bit to 1025 mBar.

Just having a cuppa before heading off to visit Mum. Leaving a bit earlier than usual as I want to stop by the big Sainsbury's near her place - Fever Tree tonic is on offer at £1.70 a bottle and the store near me has been wiped out by other gin drinkers in the area.

Sunny out with high wispy cloud, and a breeze giving the trees a bit of a shimmy now and again. Mild again at 14°C with 18° due later, and the barometers are heading down again at 1014/1022mB

CBS, etc. Might do a bit of apple juicing today.

How predictable having had a 524 for the original post.

Oh good. Now I have to type this twice.

Today saw lots of Monkey Life, in which Oshine, the orangutan due to come from South Africa, made her first appearance; and later, assorted other wildlife things

Not much done other than that, though I knocked together a quick and, so far, untested implementation of Dijkstra's algorithm for the maze stuff

Early night now: there's more Monkey Life first thing and as soon as that's done, I have to drive south to collect stuff

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

The lurgy inflicted a couple of spells of weariness on me during the afternoon, but only briefly. Other than those, I've been feeling a bit better

So I decided to try exerting myself a little, and walked round to get kebab and chips for tea. Very nice as usual

I'm glad the kebab shop isn't very far away though, as I was feeling the effects of the exertion by the time I got back

[NickFitz]

^^^ I suppose you've checked everything for hidden pound notes? I found £500 hidden in various places before next door was cleared.

Good point! I think my sister was aware of such stashes as there were, but it can't hurt to do a final check

Patch cloud and sunny spells out, overall more scenic than gloomy. A bit milder again too: 16°C with an expected high of 19°, with the barometers up a touch to 1017/1025mB

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Sunny again, occasional wisps of fluff here and there. Currently 15 degrees with a high of 19. Barometer up a smidge to 1027 mBar.

A chap came to look at the guttering and cleared a load of junk out of it. Also mentioned there were some minor issues that needed fixing, brackets and such, which my landlady and the lad upstairs need to agree to between them.

Popped to the farmers' market. Usual suspects there. Picked up some tomatoes and goats cheese. Also got some black pudding and tomato sausages from the Grasmere butcher stall. They are very tasty and I have become a bit addicted to them.

Lovely morning out there, perfect temperature, so I have come back indoors.
