My new Mac Mini has shipped from Shenzhen!

Current estimated arrival is Monday. That's mildly annoying, as I was hoping to get it on Friday and have the weekend to set it up and have a play

Morning all

Dull and overcast yet again. Ground was wet when I left the house. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 12 expected. No rain forecast. Barometer up to 1031 mBar according to my weather app but I forgot to check my home barometer before I left for the office.

Workshop at ClientCo this morning then back home at lunchtime for an interview.

[WTFH]

Morning all

Gloomy here, but not quite as gloomy as in Ukraine and Lebanon this morning.

Morning denizens

Another grey start, and looking a little misty too. Mild again too, being 9°C and expected to reach 14°, with the barometers back up to 1018/1026mB

Interesting news from across the pond

This evening's only viewing was a new episode of Police Interceptors

And later, I read more of Casino. Almost finished that now

It's Tuesday night, which means I'm halfway through the week!

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Spag bol for tea

That was the last of it out of the freezer, so I need to make some more. I quite fancy making shepherd's pie soon too. Looks like I'll be loading up on mince

Had an odd dream. Someone was trying to show people around my flat, passing it off as theirs to rent out. I managed to stop them getting in and fathomed a way to double lock the front door to keep them out.

My dreams of that sort tend to involve heavy calibre handguns & rifles, rather than locking doors.

As in "Go Ahead, Make My Day for Smith, Wesson, and me". .

Lunch: chicken. tomato and lentil soup (of the herby variety) with a crust or two of wholemeal

Still grey. Nothing exciting happening on the lawn today, or not that I've seen

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Dull and overcast. I wanted to say damp but it isn't. Currently 11 degrees with a high of 12 expected. The sun may make an appearance this afternoon. No rain forecast. Barometer down to 1021 mBar.

Trying to tactically decide when to do my laundry as I'm off on hols next week. I want to get the bed changed so I have fresh(er) sheets to come home to whilst also ensuring I don't have a full laundry basket of wearables.

Meanwhile on the 28th of November 2019 it was the 9th anniversary of NF's first heart attack, WTFH was thinking of sorting the drainage near the hen coop, and I was off to that Cardiff so had a shower whether I needed it or not. .

Trip to that Swansea to some old mates at Ye Newe Sloughe of Desponde: X5 down & X5 back. Someone sat next to me on the way down. .

Bought a dvd in Oxfam (no donations today: there's only one book in the pile), and bought "Foundation" just to read the final story that wasn't in "The 1000 Year Plan".

Lunch: a greatly delayed brunch.

Tea: Tesco battered haddock etc. Nice enough.

Entertainment: PM <click>

Freecell score: 88%, running average: 79%: that last game was a right bugger to get out.

The Bad Skin Clinic. Not a lot of innerest this week, though the lady with bad psoriasis had a nice result.

Shooter S1 E1, S1 E2 on 5 Action. .338 Lapua in this one.

Morning all
Murky out.

I seem to have neglected to wish TPD goodnight last night. And on its birthday too! I blame the lurgy

Anyway, I'd read a few more chapters of Casino so there wasn't much to report

Grey day again this morning, and expected to continue so. Currently 8°C and not getting past 12°, with the barometers down a little at 1011/1019mB

I believe I just heard the trundlings of bin day a couple of streets away out the back when I poked my head out of the bedroom window for a breath of fresh air, as is my wont

The lurgy, meanwhile, can't make its mind up. So I feel a touch worse than is usual for morning and have a somewhat bunged-up nose, but nothing much beyond that

[NickFitz]

Tea has been Nando's leftovers

And this evening's viewing has been the first two episodes of the new series of A House in Time, which has changed tack (and cheated a little) by being about two apartment blocks, one in Marylebone and one in Berlin, and concentrating on their residents' various involvements in World War II

[NickFitz]

Yes, I'd forgotten it was today! Happy Birthday TPD!
