    I made an executive decision to pop out and drive over to the hairdresser's on the off chance her husband hadn't died yet and she was still working, as I was getting a bit shaggy and figured going now will see me through into the new year. He hasn't, so she was there. Better still, no other customers were, so I didn't have to hang around. Only fifty minutes to get there, get trimmed, and get back again!

    Morning.

    Thursday.

    Oedipus schmoedipus, a boy should love his mother. Oi vey. .

    Dark.

    Dreary.

    Damp.

    Cold in here at 11.2 deg, 10.5 deg in the kitchen, 7 deg in the leanto.

    998 mBar, 29.47 in Hg, 748.56 Torr, 14.47477 psi, (untapped), 59% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 3rd of December 2019 Brillo did a list of who posted on TPD, whereas LM was running some excel sheet to look for duplicates, and NF had run out of sausage & bacon , plus SimonMac had made a rare appearance.

    Many thanks to Barclays for texting me at 04:00 and giving me the opportunity to read another hour or so of the current book. Feckwhits.

    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.

    Morning all

    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.
    What did you see?

    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
