Ah, they've run out have they? Back to the beginning (of the one hour episodes) then!

Certainly looks like it:

A search on this site revealed that one of the assembled congregation had a yellow Golf GTI Colour Combination at one time.

Who'd have thunk?

Meanwhile on the 22nd of April 2019 I'd walked out to Lidl(tm) and found it unreasonably warm, though I did spot a crow (not a rook, raven, or jackdaw) consuming a rodent it had caught, whilst a buzzard wheeled around far far overhead unaccompanied by the mandatory jackdaw.

Mostly because S17 E10 was the last "new" one they showed before Xmas?

Morning denizens

Grey but mild yet again, being10°C now and heading to 12° later. The barometers are up too, at 1017/1025mB

But the nights are going to start getting colder again in the next couple of days, and there's even a 30% chance of snow next Thursday

The car programme has suddenly skipped back to S7 from 2010, for no obvious reason.

[WTFH]

Morning all

I hate it when I’m right.

TFBSZ. Not holding out much hope for tonight based on a few email exchanges today.

The car programme has suddenly skipped back to S7 from 2010, for no obvious reason. Anyway, they did a Jensen Interceptor and it seems to have worked, as it's taxed until next January

And the gold diggers had their standard ups, downs, and machinery problems

Then, as it's Groundhog Day, I rewatched the excellent Groundhog Day (1993)

Now, I'm going to go to bed and read my book about The Waste Land for a bit

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been a rack of ribs in a honey-based BBQ sauce with loads of chips

[eek]

Don't have a clue what century it is these days.

Plumber round this morning, did a quick job on me stopcock. Me water supply, that is.

It's the Year of the Querulous Megapode.

[NickFitz]

The mundane laundry is on

[NickFitz]

Lunch was a couple of freshly baked Greggs sausage rolls

And then I sallied forth on a mission I've been putting off for some time: a haircut! So that's that done

And onwards to Sainsbury's, which somehow managed to cost me an arm and a leg despite me not really needing much

BUT: new Viz klaxon!

[NickFitz]

Afternoon denizens

Another grey day but even milder this time: 11°C no less, though that's our lot for the day. The barometers are back up a trivial amount at 1012/1020mB

Meanwhile on the lawn, some pigeons are bimbling about in the far corner. No sign of crows, magpies, blackbirds or squirrels at this time

[xoggoth]

Thursday apparently. If it wasn't for the clock I'd have no idea wot day it is

^^^Hope the sleep was reasonable last night.

Thanks for asking, I got a couple of hours.

Time to go out and mend a gate.

Meanwhile on the 22nd of April 2019 it was a fine sunny Bank Holiday Monday. Surely there're laws against such things?

Woke unbidden at 05:58. Gave up. Read more of current book. Went back to sleep until a more reasonable 08:45.

Just wondering WTF it is in my CV that made some pimp in Regressive think I'm innerested in Mechanical Engineering Design contracts considering that I'm an electronics engineer with experience in embedded software.

Maybe it was the FORTRAN IV that's on there. .

Walk (abbreviated) walked in the drizzle free grey gloom.

Lunch: baked potato with cheese & baked beans, a yog (non corner until the price comes down again), bramble jelly and marmalade on slices of Morrisons sunflower & pumpkin seed toast, 0.91*1.59 pints of good Glengettie tea.

Entertainment: Sliced Bread (Y&Y) about detergents & saving the earth or something. Nothing to see there then.

TWATO.

The thing about the Mafia & waste disposal.

House roughly vacced. Found an 8BA countersunk screw that had appeared from somewhere.

Freecell score: 87%, running average 85%. (it was down to 71% at one stage).

Tea: chilli con carne with rice, the remainder of the apricot halves, a yog, 0.91*1.57 pints of good Glengettie tea.

Entertainment: PM.
