Morning denizens

Sunny start, with just a few small, flat bits of cloud towards the horizon. Still a little breeze left, though nothing like it has been; the current 11°C "feels like" 7° as a result, but we can expect a balmy high of 19° for much of the afternoon. The barometers are, as expected, up at 1010/1018mB

Later viewing this evening was also on Netflix: Famous Last Words: Dr. Jane Goodall, recorded in March. It's an interesting idea for a programme. The interviewee is guaranteed that it won't be broadcast (well, streamed) until after their death. There aren't even any members of the production crew in the studio, only the interviewer: the cameras are operated remotely, and the operators don't have an audio feed. She had a lot of good things to say, though not about Trump, Musk, Putin, Xi, and Netanyahu

In The Andromeda Strain, the containment of the space organism has started to fail!

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been the leg, wing, and a bit of breast off the Big Chicken, with chips

To go with it, a further episode of Netflix's Critical: Between Life and Death

[NickFitz]

Lunch was some leftover chicken 65 from last night

Lots of time was going to be spent on doing RealityKit stuff, but it ended up being SwiftUI stuff instead; to wit, sorting out how to handle opening and saving files from the File menu without scattering the relevant code in a load of different parts of the app. Worked it all out in the end, and it's quite tidy now

Tedious drive down. Took over 2 hours. Breezy down here with lumps of fluff scurrying about.

The brown sauce has gone missing. Had to have red sauce on our bacon sandwiches. A quick check with my brother reveals it was there yesterday so it's likely she threw it out. That's the current behaviour. I'll pop up to the shop and get a new bottle plus more bread as she's eaten all that too.

Walk with loony lady 3 later. Nice to walk with someone who's fit, unlike the other two, I'm just hanging around waiting for them much of the time.

Off to see Mum when I've finished my coffee.

Morning.

Sunday.

Dry.

Grey.

Wanly sunny in parts.

Breezy.

Cool in here at 17.7 deg, 16.5 in the kitchen, 15.5 in the leanto.

1013 mBar, 29.91 in Hg, 759.8 Torr, 14.69 psi, (up from 1007 last night), 58% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 20th of February 2020 it was hailing here & there Caesar, however the walk got walked, BR14 & Scruff popped in, NF determined it was too cold to push the almost empty recycling bin out so didn't bother, BR14 was still watching S1 of HSB and finding Fay Furillo irritating (just imagine how Frank felt ), whilst I watched one or other of the Magnificent 7s and NF watched "The Killing".

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked. Quite breezy.

Lunch: brunch.

Entertainment: Bit of a Columbo from the 1990s where he solves the murder with a call to a pager. Do pagers still exist? Just askin' for a friend, like. .

Thing on R4 (Marianna in Conspiracyland) about the twin who died of lymphoma. There's some crazy people out there.

Freecell score: 100%, running average: 84%. It didn't hit me with any difficult ones today.

Curious: FB ads for dildos and butt plugs. Is it trying to tell me something? Just askin' for a friend. .

Tea: beans on toast etc. Entertainment: that fecking poetry programme is back.

Dear old Derek walking around Carreg Cennen.

WWII Land Weapons on PBS.

John Betjeman: King's Lynn to Hunstanton. 1962. PreBeeching. Gosh. Made by the BR transport film thingie with the BBC.

Sergeant Cork. The case of the respectable suicide. Quite fun. Repressed god botherer kills himself. Or did he?

WWII Air Weapons on PBS.

Last 25 minutes of "Faster" after getting bored with the above.

Gosh. He uses a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan double action in 454 Casull. Goodness me. Apparently it's ideal for dealing with Kodiak bears. .

Morning denizens

Sunny out, though still a bit breezy after the storm. It's 11°C (but "feels like" 5°) and expected to reach 15°, albeit briefly, in the middle of the afternoon. The barometers are heading back up at 1001/1009mB

[NickFitz]

Lots of wildlife stuff on today, as usual

In The Andromeda Strain, they've found the microscopically small blob on the spacecraft, though they haven't been able to work out what it is yet

It got quite sunny here towards teatime, but then it set. It remains windy

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea was brought to me from the South Indian place past the park. Very nice indeed

[ladymuck]

The wind has died down and clouds have parted. A nice sunny afternoon beckons.

[ladymuck]

Afternoon all

Overcast but quite bright. Very windy with strong gusts. Damp from overnight rain. Currently 14 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer down to 1010 mBar.

Sunrise 07:07; Sunset 18:32 BST

Lazy start to the day. I had intended to pop to the farmers' market but never bothered, as there's not much I need.

Having checked my scales app, it would seem I've managed to lose 10 kg this year. Slow and steady wins the race, or so they say.

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

Grey day out, very windy, and rain not just likely but 100% guaranteed in a little while. It's a bit cooler too: currently 10°C ("feels like" -1° ) and aiming for 12°. The barometers are down more at 983/991mB

Loony lady 1 walk this PM after me flu jab. Loony lady 3 tomorrow.
