This morning the bed was stripped and left to air. Two loads, comprising fitted sheet and pillow protectors, and mattress protector and pillow cases, have been completed. Items now draped about to dry. The duvet cover will be done tomorrow, maybe Friday, depending on drying progress.

Lunch has been some chicken wings and ketchup
It's clouded over now, and apparently it'll get breezier along with a chance of rain tonight

Old fart group walk this morning, book reading this afternoon and history talk this evening. Too many things on 3rd Weds and Chewsdays too. Free day tomborrow! Thank that thing I don't believe in.

Morning all
Blue sky with a mix of wispy and lumpy fluff filtering the sunshine. Currently 4 degrees with a high of 9 expected. Chance of showers increasing as the evening progresses with the majority forecast overnight. Barometer down to 1016 mBar.
Sunrise 07:07; Sunset 17:24
I was supposed to be in ClientCo office today but decided when I logged off yesterday that I couldn't be bothered so I haven't bothered going in. I am meeting a friend there on Friday, for which I will make the effort of course.
Due diligence continues on the Swiss outfit that could be a con, could be worthwhile.

Morning.
Wet.
Grey.
Sunless.
Misty.
Raw.
Chilly in here at 11.1 deg, 9.5 in the kitchen, 8.5 in the leanto.
1008.5 mBar, 29.78 in Hg, 756.44 Torr, 14.627 psi, (down from 1010 last night), 59% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 28th of December 2019 NF observed that the Polish Cafe had reopened.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked, at the start in grey gloom then towards the end, in Sunshine. And it didn't rain on me. The umbrella worked again.
Lunch: brunch.
Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about public transport. And undoing some of Beeching's needful doings. Just think: back then £23k was A Lot of Money. Twice the salary of the PM.
Freecell score: 75%, running average: 81%.
Shopping trip to Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.
Tea: chicken in white sauce etc. Nice enough. The rice wasn't lumpy this time: Morrisons instead of Tesco. And in the mike-ro-wavey a bit longer.
Entertainment: PM waffling on about the Orange Moron's latest bollox. WTF? Still no .338 available? Or a stinger? Baffling.
Maigret this evening.
Secrets in the Ice. (since I watched NCIS on Monday).Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Today, 18:06.

We lost a good friend last night to cancer. That's all I can say right now.

Morning denizens
It seemed like there might be a bit of a rosy-fingered dawn, but patchy clouds are quickly closing up the gaps to put a stop to that. Still on the chilly side at 1°C that "feels like" -5°, but it'll be getting milder with an expected high of 8°. The barometers are down again at 1003/1011mB
Tonight it's expected to remain around 7°, albeit with a chance of some rain, and it generally looks a lot warmer over the coming days

There was yet another new Traffic Cops to watch earlier
And later, some more of Inventing the Renaissance
Goodnight all

Popped round to the pharmacy, where they'd neglected to fill the prescription despite having received it nearly a week ago so I had to wait
Coming back, some aromas were missing: the Indian restaurant doesn't open Tuesdays, and the tapas bar was quiet. But there was a nice one lingering around the Korean place, mainly ginger I think

Afternoon all
Dry with blue sky poking through the clouds. Currently 7 degrees ('feels like' 5) and the high was 8. Very slight chance of some rain in the wee hours overnight. Barometer down to 1019 mBar.
Sunrise 07:09; Sunset 17:22
Feeling a lot better today but still occasionally getting nasty cramps in the abdominal region.
Work has been quite dull.
Had a call from a chap who runs his own mini consultancy with one client and wants me to do some work for him a couple of days a week. Contract based on Swiss law and invoiced in USD. Need to do a bit of due diligence before signing any dotted lines

Lunch: a Greggs steak bake
It looked like it might cloud over earlier, but it changed its mind so it's still quite sunny out
I've got to go round to the pharmacy for the monthly drug supply, but I think I'll leave it until teatime so I can get a whiff of nice food from the various restaurants and takeaways on the way back

Morning.
Tuesday.
Dry.
Sunny..
Chilly in here at 11.1 deg, 10 deg in the kitchen, 8 deg in the leanto, 5.6 deg in the saltinghouse.
1015 mBar, 29.973 in Hg, 761.3 Torr, 14.721 psi, (down from 1016 last night/yesterday), 59% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 28th of December 2019 there was further discussion of "dust mice", and the Germanic version (in German: Wollmäuse), shopping was done, walks were taken, & not much happened during the day, though NF spent the early hours watching yet more Bond.
Washing in the WM. Washing out of the WM & pegged out on the line.
WTF is wrong with this today? Can't access the ignore list.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the wan sunshine. Washing drying well in the breeze.
Lunch: brunch.
Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about dentistry and the lack of NHS dentists.
Freecell score: can't remember, running average: 81%.
Washing in off the line, shirts iRoned & airing upstairs, smalls in, cottons requiring the iRon iRoned though I forgot a couple so had to get the iRon out again to finish off. Bye the end it was 12 deg in the saltinghouse.
Tea: Tesco battered cod: I thought it tasted a bit odd this week but it might have been due to using a bit more cooking oil.
Entertainment: PM.
Can't find anything to watch on the box until the thing about the Cold War appears on Alba later on.
Thankfully no staying up until 02:00 watching Shooter(2016) since it finished last week.
Apparently an ex colleague from Ye Olde Sloughe of Desponde has been found expired on Langland Beach.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Yesterday, 19:52.
