Old farty arty group thing this morning followed by grey walky. Karaoke this evening if I can be *ed to go.

Lunch: leftover pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

The lurgy hasn't got any worse, though we've got a retro meeting shortly which will probably give it a boost

I got a text from the dentist earlier cancelling my checkup next week and telling me to call. I did so, and now I'm going on Friday morning. This is a bit of a pain, and also means I could have gone on to Sainsbury's if I hadn't already arranged the delivery, given that I'll be halfway there anyway

Apparently they've done a rug pull and the top dentist now only sees private patients, leaving NHS ones like me to the cleaner I assume. Ah well, they could have just binned NHS services off completely, I suppose

Morning.

Tuesday.

Grey.

Dark.

Dreary.

Dry.

Sunless.

Chilly in here at 11.8 deg, 11 deg in the kitchen, 9.5 deg in the leanto.

1030.7 mBar, 30.436 in Hg, 773 Torr, 14.949 psi, (unchanged), 63% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 9th of December 2019 there was discussion of various teas, with ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion Orion rising magnificently whilst NF cooked his ribs for tea.

Trip to that Swansea to get shot of another foot of books and some dvds I'll never watch again (Man from Uncle? it seemed good half a century ago, now: not so much). Only bought two books back with me this time. There were some P.K. Dick books in the rack, along with "Ringworld". I left them where they were. I noted earlier in the week (or last week) that "The mote in murchison's eye" remained where it was.

Shopping trip from Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

Nasty cold breeze blowing in my face on the trudge back.

Lunch: brunch.

Morning all
Max and I went out early this morning, which hadn't been my plan, but worked out well, as about 15 minutes after getting in, it started to rain.

Morning denizens

Rather a grey start out and still a little breezy, though not anything like it has been. It's 5°C but "feels like" -1°, with an expected high of 7°, while the barometers remain high at 1023/1031mB

I awoke today with a bit of a sore throat and runny nose, plus a slight headache. Covid test has come back negative, so it may just be yet another cold picked up while shopping

[NickFitz]

Tonight's reading was a bit more Siegfried Sassoon

And I placed a Sainsbury's order for delivery on Friday so I don't have to bother going shopping. I don't need much so it's not worth going all the way there, but on Saturday we're having pre-Christmas lunch with the nieces who are going to the other side of their family this year, so I need to get chocolates and stuff like that

Three more days…

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been pork cutlet with chips, peas and gravy

Accompanied by the motorway cops that don't go on the motorway

garden bits appear to have survived the biblical weather at least.

Scotch broth and a bit of wholemeal for lunch - warming, delicious, and nutritious
