Another sunny start, but frosty in the expected places. Currently up to 0°C from -2° earlier, but expected to reach 7° by this afternoon before plummeting again tonight. The barometers are down a bit but still high, at 1030/1039mB
After the usual Sunday New Zealand police stuff earlier, this evening's main viewing has been the latest episode of Surgeons on iPlayer, followed by the latest 24 Hours in A&E on… ah, I see now why they don't call it 4Player
And now I have taken to my bed, where I shall read my book for a while before getting to sleep
Accompanied by the programme about the train-moving people, who today are starting not far from here on the GCR at Quorn
Hmm. The programme was about moving a Deltic from the Great Central Railway to a heritage railway in Derbyshire. Now we're on to the next programme, which is about moving a (different) Deltic from a (different) heritage railway in Derbyshire to the Great Central Railway. They really should make their minds up
Bright sunny day out with just some very high wispy layers of cloud here and there. Not as warm at 6°C, and tonight it's expected to dip below freezing for the first time in a while. The barometers are ever higher though, at 1034/1042mB
The gas engineers over the road started up around 7am this morning, mainly sounded like getting equipment in place. Then went off for a couple of hours' tea break, came back and did a bit for an hour and are now getting started again.
Bright and sunny, barely a wisp in the sky. Currently 6 degrees ('feels like' 4) with a high of 8 forecast. Barometer is up to 1042 mBar.
Kurios at the Royal Albert Hall yesterday was very entertaining. I never know what's going on in a typical Cirque du Soliel performance but they are genuine "switch off and enjoy the spectacle" events.
