^^^ Pah! It was just a cover story for Die Glocke!

Had to look that up: Die Glocke (conspiracy theory) - Wikipedia

Morning denizens

Sunny start for a change. Going to be a warm one too, rising from the present 14°C to as much as 21° this afternoon, though possibly clouding over towards evening. The barometers are up a touch at 1016/1024mB

Morning.

Sunday.

Sunny.

Dry.

Blue sky.

Cool in here at 17.4 deg, 18.5 deg in the kitchen, 16.5 deg in the leanto.

1024 mBar, 30.238 in Hg, 768.06 Torr, 14.85 psi, (up from 1020 last night assuming I tapped it), 78% RH (GDR hair), 72% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 4th of October 2019 NF had travelled south, while I watched E1 & E2 of S2 of Jeremiah.

How curious: the theme from "Band of Brothers" played in a cathedral by the Royal Marines Band.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the unbearable heat of the day.

Lunch: baked spud etc.

Entertainment:

Lots of wildlife stuff on the box today as usual, including Monkey Life which I think was the only non-repeat - though elephants digging wells during a drought is always worth seeing again

Later, I finished Blitzed where, early in 1945, they were sending untrained youths on missions in mini-submarines which they were supposed to operate without sleep for four days by dint of a cocktail of cocaine, meth, and oxycodone. Unsurprisingly, virtually all of them lie at the bottom of the North Sea to this day

And then a bit of Nuclear Accidents in which Heisenberg's plan to create a nuclear weapon for the Nazis has resulted in their laboratory burning for two days after an early attempt at controlled fission caused the uranium to catch fire and explode, albeit just in a firework kind of way

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been from Nando's. Tried the "extra hot" sauce this time, which is hot but not as hot as the chicken madras I had last week, or the chilli sauce from the kebab shop

It's been a dull and grey afternoon. The wind has gotten up again.

I haven't done anything in the garden.

[xoggoth]

Can't remember much detail but Elvis appeared in my dream last night. Off now to do one of me toothpaste, I mean footpath, inspections for the council.

Afternoon denizens

Grey sort of day out, and still slightly breezy too. Currently 16°C and maybe making it to 17° later, while the barometers remain bullish, being up to 1015/1023mB

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Blue sky with lumps of fluff. No rain forecast. It was a bit breezy earlier this morning but that seems to have eased up. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 18 expected. Barometer up to 1024 mBar.

Need to to a bit of faffing in the front garden today. Whether I actually will do it remains to be seen.

^^^ Freeeeeedom! or something. Let's get rid of a king & elect one instead. .

Morning.

Dry.

Wanly sunny.

Cool in here at 17.7 deg, 18.5 deg in the kitchen, 17.5 deg in the leanto, 16 deg in the saltinghouse (which was up to 24 yesterday before I opened all the doors.

1022 mBar, 30.179 in Hg, 766.56 Torr, 14.8228 psi, (up from 1020 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 71% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 4th of October 2019 it was rather damp & quite chilly, managing to rain on me during my walk, in a fit of enthusiasm I installed the aerial cable to the bedroom tv (used exactly once a month ago when I was ill) and contemplated installed the satellite feed to same (which never happened needless to relate), while good wishes resounded to WTFH after his op, NF was off to the motorway for some reason, despite it being closed in places, and I watched yet more of S2 of Jeremiah whilst cursing my completist nature.

Shirts & smalls in the WM. (I don't bother separating them any more).

Shirts & smalls out of the WM & pegged out on the line.

Cottons including bedlinen in the WM.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom.

Lunch: baked wonky spud etc. Some of those wonky spuds really are wonky.

Entertainment: the bits of Dead Ringers I couldn't be arsed with yesterday.

NZ Highway Patrol <click> I think I'm word perfect on these by now. It was the one with camper van driver who had problems with hill starts and the bus driver who was confused by someone indicating right & turning right. Easily done. Apparently it means sommat different in NZ such as "pass me". .

Shirts & cottons that needed it in off the line & roughly iRoned, airing upstairs.

Freecell score: 89%, running average: 86%. Bit better than yesterday though not by much.

Towels & bedding in off the line & airing over the banisters.

Tea: soup etc. Can't be arsed any more.

Entertainment: Sliced Bread waffling on about tyres.

Dixon of Dock Green S21 E2 "Seven for a secret never to be told". (1975). Well that was odd. The gas explosion one with a chase down to the West Country.

Edgar Wallace Mystery Theatre: these seem quite variable in quality. "Time to Remember (1962)". The one with the younger Steptoe as a naughty estate agent.

There's a film with John Thaw on after it.
