    Tonight's viewing was S2E1 of the RAF thing on C4, including annoying the Russians by flying a spy plane towards Crimea

    And in Mesopotamia, discussion of legalities, slaves, and smuggling

    Thursday tomorrow!

    Goodnight all

    Tea has been a Pukka steak & kidney pie with chips and gravy

    The light in the oven has gone!

    I dig out the manual and it appears to be very easy to replace, so I'll have to get a bulb from my local Bosch Authorised Parts Supplier Amazon

    Lunch: some leftover belly pork rashers in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce, and a bag of plain crisps

    A bit cloudier out, but it's thin wispy stuff

    Still never been there. And as I no longer live round the corner from it, I probably won't get around to it any time soon

    Morning all

    Blue sky with a hint of a wisp hanging about. Currently 11 degrees with a high of 17 expected. Barometer down to 1021 mBar.

    Sunrise 06:06; Sunset 18:13

    According to the R4 pre-8am weather report this morning, it's the spring solstice tomorrow.

    Yesterday I went to the Gielgud Theatre to see Oliver! It was very entertaining.

    Morning.

    Wednesday.

    Dry.

    Sunny.

    Blue sky.

    Chilly in here at 11.8 deg, 10.5 in the kitchen, 8.5 in the leanto.

    1016.5 mBar, 30.02 in Hg, 762.44 Torr, 14.743 psi, (unchanged), 57% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 3rd of January 2020 it was dry, notsocold, but even so the library computer room was largely empty (things to come, things to come), NF had a restless night's sleep due to prior watching of Spiral, WTFH had a mention on Poke (whatever that is) and covbob was "WFH" because the inlaws had arrived. NF was contemplating a visit to Lidl(tm) since he was currently short of a rubber boat.

    Freecell score: 83%, running average: 82%.

    Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the wan sunshine, high clouds & chem trails.

    Lunch: brunch.

    Entertainment: Y&Y: do people really spend £12 on a lunchtime sandwich? Are they gold plated or what?

    Human Intelligence: John von Neumann of architecture fame.

    Welsh Water busy potching about: blocked sewer further up the road, so they'll need to access the manhole next door to do the needful doings.

    4 bags of moss extracted from the lawn once I'd persuaded the lawn rake to work again following its long sojourn in the garage.

    Tea: chilli con carne with rice. This was rather nicer than Monday's having festered in the fridge with added paprika and hot chilli pepper.

    Entertainment: PM. 18 o'clock news.

    Maigret and the Liberty Bar.

    CBS, etc, and while there was a ground frost, it didn't feel that cold out.

    Just been getting rid of a rash of spammers.

    Morning denizens

    Sunny start again, but with the chilliness that comes with open skies: currently 1°C, having been cold enough earlier for what appears to be a slight frostiness to form on the cars. It'll warm up though, reaching 13° this afternoon. The barometers are down some more at 1010/1018mB

    I managed to find the energy this evening to do some SwiftUI+SpriteKit stuff, which went really well

    And later in Mesopotamia, science! The development of astronomy and mathematics went so well that they could predict eclipses, which isn't bad going; but they also formulated complex notions of divination by examination of sheep entrails, which isn't so widely used nowadays

    Goodnight all

    I'm sticking to a 6x3 grid as it works best on the iPad or on a computer. Currently at 509 cities complete.
