Morning all
The walk started with light sleet, then about 200 metres from our house that turned to heavier sleet and then snow.
Snowing quite hard now.
Chimney sweep is coming round later, as is someone of FB Marketplace who wants to buy a lenovo docking station off me for £35.
BTW, if you know anyone interested in some series 5/6 BT Home Hubs (can be reconfigured) or a couple of sonos bridges, a Dyson V58, or a Nokia N95, let me know.

Cloudy. Currently 1 degree with a high of 4 expected. Some sunshine expected at some point. Barometer down to 1002 mBar.
On the train to Guildford as that's where ConsultancyCo have decided to base themselves.
Oedipus at Wyndham's Theatre was very good last night. Also had my first mulled wine of the season.

Morning denizens
Very nice reddish-gold dawn earlier, though a big high sheet of thin grey cloud cut across from the south in quite a dramatic fashion - just the sort of stuff that's used for decoration though, not the kind to yield rain or snow. It's -3°C at the moment and not expected to get any higher than +3°, and will be sunny as well. The barometers are down a little to 989/998mB
Looking ahead, it'll get milder as the weekend gets going, though there's still a chance of a bit of snow tonight

Tonight's viewing was yet another new Police Interceptors
And later, after some mucking around with some Swift stuff that doesn't work the way I'd expect it to work (and thus doesn't work, or not for me), I read some more Jeffrey Bernard
Thursday tomorrow!
Goodnight all

Just back from local history talk. Quite interesting this month, not like last.

Sunny but very cold. Currently 4 degrees, was -2 when I got up this morning. The high was 6 degrees. Barometer at 1009 mBar.
Busy day, trying to score the next gig, trying to do the current one. Landlady came round to look a the wall being pushed over by a tree.
Off to the theatre this evening.

I hadn't made the mango-chutney-based BBQ sauce for some time, but I finally got around to it so tea has been ribs and chips
There are banging noises coming from upstairs!
It had been on the market since before I moved in but sold earlier this year, as I recall. There's been virtually no activity up there for ages, but it sounds as if whoever now owns it might finally be getting it ready for occupation

Another day done
Not sure if it's cheating, but the daily quota of exercise was achieved on the exercise bike in three short goes spread out through the day. Each of them got my heart rate up for a few minutes, so they ought to have done some good

Lunch: cajun chicken breast in a wholemeal bap with a bag of plain crisps
Sunny out, but still chilly I reckon

morning people
having proper vision back in one eye is great!

snow here (as in white stuff, not 'sno here' as in 'it's somewhere else')
just waiting for a date to fix the other eye now.
3C (feels like -4C)
King Billy, definitely.

Morning all
Almost went apex going out for our walk this morning, then found that one of our gates had frozen shut so I had to go the long way round the house to get through a different one.
A proper hard frost mean walking on some of the paths was very crunchy.
Now back inside warming up.

Morning.
Wednesday.
Dark.
Dank.
Dreary.
Grey.
Sunless (though the light was really odd earlier).
Wet: lumpy rain, so plainly on the way to sleet.
Cold in here at 12 deg, 10 deg in the kitchen, 8 deg in the leanto.
1009 mBar, 29.795 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.634 psi, (up from 1006 last night), 60% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 3rd of December 2019 I was still but managed a walk to the viewless point (something I haven't done for years now), whereas LM had salad for lunch (in December ), and covbob observed that it had gone grey despite being sunny earlier, and Brillo said some stuff.
Knee playing up. Must be the weather.
Snow on the hills across the valley.
Freecell score: 100%, running average: 80%.
Lunch: brunch.
Entertainment: Y&Y <click>
Book. Finished book. It didn't end well.
Tea: beans on toast etc.
Entertainment: PM <click>
Freecell score: 55%, running average: 80%: it loves slipping an almost impossible one in to piss me off.
Maigret & the man on the bench: the one with yellow shoes. And a mistress.
Lights are doing a fair amount of flickering this evening.
I wonder if "we" are running short of power, what with it being dark & almost windless. There's a German word for it. . I think it's "Fecked".
