    Sorry about the will thing skb. I've recently done power of attorney. My eldest son said he will take me to the council tip and rent out my house for asylum seekers. I hope he was joking.

    Tea has been a “firecracker” rack of ribs, and chips

    To go along with it, the rest of the motorway cops thing from last night

    Sorry to hear that

    I should do as you command; if nothing else, it will stop my brother nagging me about it every time I see him

    Did think to die intestate & nominate my useless nephew to sort out the chaos.

    Trouble is it wouldn't be down to him/her/it, rather to his sister & my sister, so that idea has bitten the dust.

    Have a manly .

    Afternoon all

    Another cloud-free day. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 18 expected. Feels chilly though, in the shade. Barometer down to 1025 mBar.

    Sunrise 05:47; Sunset 20:13 BST

    Only a few meetings, and no dramas. Just how I like it.

    Shopping done!

    As predicted, not a huge amount to get. But I remembered to use a voucher for 80p that they’d sent me, being some Nectar Prices that hadn’t been applied the other week for some reason

    Upon returning home, I found a notification on my phone concerning another voucher for the same reason, this time for £1.34

    Still a nice, sunny day out. Just a few wisps of cloud starting to appear near the horizon

    Morning denizens

    It’s another sunny day with a clear bleu sky, and expected to continue so. It’s 9°C and aiming for 17° again, with the barometers down a little at 1016/1024mB

    I’ll be going shopping shortly but I don’t need much, so I’ll just pop up to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s

    Morning.

    Friday.

    Dry.

    Sunny.

    Blue sky.

    15.9 deg in here, 15 in the kitchen, 14 in the leanto.

    1019.5 mBar, 30.1 in Hg, 764.7 Torr, 14.787 psi, (down from 1020 last night), 63% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 25th of March 2020 Brillo popped in a lot, whilst BR14, LM, NF, and I managed to squeeze a post in here &amp; there.

    Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked. Shopping trip to Boots to get what I forgot about yesterday, only to find it wasn't in stock.

    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: some oiks waffling on about religious revival.

    Instead the R4 thing about the 7 deadly sins.

    Box room back together. Somewhere in there is a screwdriver I've just lost FFS. I hate it when that happens.

    And a phone call on my bat phone. Haven't had one of those for ages.

    Now getting outside a mug of mediocre yet consistent coffee.

    I wonder WTF that screwdriver went. ​.

    Dismantled the boxroom again. Found the screwdriver downstairs in the office cum junkroom, exactly where I'd left it. .

    Added some screws to the bookcase which is showing its age.

    Put boxroom back together for the 2nd time.

    Vacced the sawdust off the carpet.

    Tea: chicken in white sauce etc. the etc. being augmented by some wegetables I bought from Tesco the other day in an experiment. I expect the house to become very fragrant over the next couple of hours.

    Entertainment: PM with Heggsy waffling on about how NATO let the Zionists and the Septics down so badly, and how they're reconsidering the status of The Falkland Islands.

    Expect the Septics to refer to them as Las Malvinas shortly. .

    Funny how the illusory "special relationship" only ever works one way.

    Taggart S10 E4 "Forbidden Fruit". A new year's day ep.

    This evening I went to meet a friend who I hadn't seen for a good two years. I was apprehensive but it turned out to be a good evening.

    Farringdon was bedlam on arrival and we were lucky to find a pub that had a couple of seats.

    Tea has been M&S slow-cooked chicken chasseur, with chips and peas. It turned out to be very nice indeed! I’ll get that again

    This was accompanied by a bit of the motorway cops thing. I don’t know what’s going on with Traffic Cops, but all but one episode of the current series have been taken down! Didn’t stop them showing me a trailer for it in the ad break though
