Morning all
Rain & windy overnight meant the ground was quite wet on our walk and the air was warm, a t shirt under a long coat was too much.

Morning denizens
It's been a rainy, windy night out there, so as the gloomy dawn arrives, we're ringed by low cloud - though overhead seems much clearer. It's been warmer overnight with the rain, being 11°C now, which is the high for the day - and the continuing breeze is making that "feel like" 5°. The barometers are down at 995/1002mB

And then I read a bit more Jeffrey Bernard

Goodnight all

Today's payout came from Dad's Premium Bonds. We'd left them in until the final draw for which they were eligible, which was this month's. Looks like we didn't get the hoped-for million, but he won a few hundred over the course of the year

The undertaker was, er, mortified. . My dad would have loved it.

Tea has been homemade pork chow mein. Very nice, I thought. I'm not saying anybody else would like it, or even regard it as edible, but I enjoyed it
This was accompanied by a new Police Interceptors which was from Nottinghamshire again despite the earlier episodes in the series except the one before this being from Northamptonshire and Notts being from the previous series

Had to go there with my sister in the end and find someone who knew WTF they were doing, unlike the first oik.

One strange feature of my life at the moment is that various accounts of our parents are being settled by financial institutions and when they are, my brother will send me my share without warning. So now and again, like this afternoon, I'll get a notification out of the blue that several thousand pounds have just landed in my bank account
I think we're nearly there now though. Got to save some for interring the ashes next spring

He left it down in the entrance lobby when I buzzed him in so I had to go downstairs to get it, but I don't blame him - he'd been buzzing around in that van dropping off parcels for hours by that time

Morning all
Blue sky with occasional fluff. Dry. Currently 5 degrees ('feels like' 3) with a high of 9 expected. Cloud cover set to increase as the day progresses with rain due overnight. Barometer up to 1026 mBar.
My UPS parcel was returned to the Feltham depot at 6.55 pm yesterday, with the comment "Delivery will be delayed by one business day". As of 3.42 am it was still in Feltham depot, no "Out for delivery" status just yet. If I choose to register with UPS, I could divert the parcel to a local pick up point. Let's see what happens today.
This afternoon I will be heading over to the Tower Hill end of town to meet HWMBO for dinner before he completes his course and heads home tomorrow.

^^^ What news of the DPD parcel? We should be told!
^^^^One of my kitchen cupboards remains half full of the Kleenex tissues I bought for my now very late father who popped his clogs in 2015. I intend to leave the remainder in my will.
Morning.

Meanwhile on the 6th of December 2019 NF got soaked doing the shopping, made his customary wander around "the biggest market in Europe" buying carrots & onions, I was watching yet more BTVS S7 and liking Anya, whereas BR14 was winding up Nat & reaching for his next ban.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom.
Inneresting programme on R4 about overseas student & how they're propping up the Universities. In the realms of no tulip sherlock, speaking from experience. .
Lunch: brunch with added welsh cake.
Out for the welsh cake with my late mate's mrs, the earlier brunch being mistimed due to granddaughter's xmas play thingie taking an hour less than was calculated. Nice chat. Feeling poor now. .
Even worse, I think I'm .
Entertainment: Nazi Hunters: Joseph Mengele. The One Who Got Away.
Tea: beans on toast etc. Got to keep those bowels moving. .
Maigret and the Ghost. Bruno Cremer again doing his thing in Finland.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Yesterday, 20:10.
