Laundry has been done here too, today. Although not bedding. Far too many socks to pair BrilloPad would have understood my torment.

Mrs V the same I get to do my own socks.

The garage says the scary looking list of things on the MOT advisory do not need doing. I am a much happier bunny.

One item could do with a bit of undersealing, which I will be book in for the new year.

LM a bit drippy on the underside...

Tea: rack of ribs and chips

The bed has been remade as much as possible; the duvet cover is still tumbling

[ladymuck]

The bed is airing while the new bedding goes through its first wash and dry

This is the lady who worked at the really good chip shop up the road from my old place: French national living in Leicester for 42 years faces deportation - BBC News

Shopping done!

Quite a rewarding trip, all in all. I didn't need much in the way of groceries, though what I did get still seemed to cost an awful lot for what it was

But I treated myself to a new set of bedding. I've basically got two sets (plus a spare with a fitted sheet that isn't quite deep enough for a modern mattress), with one set being of a heavy weave and the other light. So it makes sense, now I have plenty of storage space for such things, to have two heavy sets for winter use, and I can get another light one when summer rolls around

And Sainsbury's are doing the Nectar Price thing on tubs of Quality Street, though only the smaller plastic ones, not the bigger tins. Our Mum used to get us each a tub of either them or some near-equivalent like Celebrations or Roses every year, but with her gone, I didn't know if anybody would step into the breach; so I've done it. I'm not letting anybody else know in advance, as I'm hoping at least one of my siblings has the same idea and we all get loads

I did buy one of the bigger tins for myself as well, just in case

Only mask in the place, as usual, except for the amiable dark-haired lady who mans the self-checkouts

You still driving the Datsun?

I am.

The old bird is starting to suffer corrosion. I'm getting the MOT (done in June!) advisories checked out with the hope that the cost of repair is still less than the cost of getting some newfangled car.

Morning.

Friday.

Wet. Wetly wet.

Grey.

Sunless.

Chilly side of chilly at 12 deg in here, 12 deg in the kitchen, 11 deg in the leanto.

1000 mBar, 29.53 in Hg, 750.1 Torr, 14.5 psi, (up from 997 last night), 73% RH (GDR hair), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 3rd of August 2019 NF was taking naps due to the lack of sleep in the hospital overnight whilst I was getting shot of more crap down the dump & collecting endless apples to consign to the compost heap. Said heap will be bereft thereof next year. .

Walk (abbreviated) walked. It deigned to rain upon me briefly. Blue sky in parts.

Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

Entertainment: Some crap about trans or something. It rapidly went <click>.

TWATO wailing about something or other <click>.

Hawkwind Assault & Battery.

Youtube thing about a chap walking along the Neath canal from Aberdulais to Clyne, then up the mountain on what used to be a footpath but is now overgrown. Those brambles don't take prisoners. Two years & it's impassable.

The thing about tea at 13:45. Ah. How assam tea got started.

Freecell score: 88%, running average: 86%.

More chopping up of the ex apple tree.

Freecell score: 93%, running average: 86%.

Tea: soup etc.

Entertainment: PM.

Wheeler Dealers S9 E5 Porsche 914: the one tub o'lard bought off a farmer as a barn find, reconditioned it, and sold it back to said farmer. Brilliant. They "made" £2k4 apparently according to tub.

Coast & Country on ITV.:.

Nazi Secret Atomic Bomb on Blaze. Uranium off to Japan by submarine. No chance of making a bomb. Might just have make a reactor if they'd combined all the uranium cubes they had in one place rather than 600 here, 400 over by there, like.

Secret Nazi expeditions on Blaze. They'd have nothing to show without Ancient Aliens & that Hitler chap. Very runic this one.

Not to confuse "runes" with "ruins" like the set designer for STOS "City on the Edge of Forever". .

Oh, and the occasional programme about Hitler & Ancient Aliens.

[WTFH]

Today yea olde jalopy is supposed to go into the garage to get its various issues checked out but a combination of an early morning meeting and a poorly timed DPD delivery means I'll be taking it there a lot later than I really wanted to. Toying with perhaps rescheduling it but that feels rude at such short notice.

You still driving the Datsun?

Morning all

Bright and dry start to the day with some wispy stuff wafting around. Currently 6 degrees ('feels like' 4) with a high of 12 expected. No rain forecast. Barometer at 1005 (slightly up on yesterday which I failed to report).

Interesting day yesterday - met up with the people at clientCo at the East India Club for a company meeting and then onto lunch. I wonder what they'll want me to put on my time sheet for that day! I will offer to contribute towards the lunch in order to maintain my creds as a non-employee.

Morning denizens

The wind and rain have moved on so it's clear skies and, when the sun gets high enough, sunshine for today! Though apparently the wind will be back from time to time. Currently mild enough at 6°C and soaring to 9° later, and the barometers are down a bit more at 990/998mb
