If anyone is bored this afternoon, may I recommend https://www.youtube.com/@wellthatwentwell
Geoff Norcott (Token Tory Comedian) and Tom Walker (Jonathan Pie) chatting. It's quite good and given that one is right wing and the other left, it's sort of balanced.

Well! The PM I don't trust was called into the office at 9am, asked to hand in his building pass and told to leave with immediate effect.

The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceeding small

Lunch: ham toastie

The laundry is dry! I love this weather, when you can put your clothes outside to dry and they dry so quickly. They smell so much better.

Assorted items of clothing in the WM

Same here. Glad you reminded me, running out of underpants. LL1 back from US but got a hospital appointment today, so do our walky tomorrow.

Morning all

Clear blue sky from my vantage point. A cooling breeze is wafting through my office window. Currently 22 degrees ('feels like' 25) with a high of 29 expected. Barometer down to 1017 mBar.

Sunrise 05:04; Sunset 21:10 BST

Assorted items of clothing in the WM. Yesterday I did a towel wash.

Morning denizens

It’s a grey start again, though the wind has dropped. It’s expected to clear soon and remain sunny for the rest of the day. Currently 18°C (but “feels like” 19°!) and it’s expected to soar to 26°, though that’s the hottest it’ll be for the foreseeable future as the next nine days are all predicted to be in the lower twenties. The barometers are down somewhat at 1006/1014mB

I felt like I had a decent night’s sleep, but still feel quite tired. I see that this is one of the possible side effects of the new anti-cholesterol pills they started me on last week; maybe it’ll go away once I’m used to them, or I’ll have to ask them to try something else. But it could also just be the lingering effects of several nights of poor sleep due to heat and hay fever, so I’ll ride it out for a bit longer yet

Morning all
TFIF, etc
CBS, etc
A very pleasant walk has been had.
Yesterday our builders arrived at 07:15 (which they like to do when it's hot weather). They worked hard until 22:09 last night. They'll be back next week to finish the job.

Morning.

Friday.

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

23.5 deg in here, 25.2 deg in the kitchen, 22.5 in the leanto, 18 out the back.

1010 mBar, 29.83 in Hg, 757.6 Torr, 14.65 psi, (unchanged), 57% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 1st of April Brillo, covbob, eek, NF, and WTFH popped in, with Brillo wondering about a double Om that day, long long ago, when we were all locked in our houses by Bunter, the Fat Owl of the Remove, with a police force who'd fine you at the slightest impression that you'd been out of the house for 61 minutes.

Sleep managed to last until about 04:30ish, then returned until about 06:15 or so, with dozing thereafter.

Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put way: the endeavour to find the port and use up a discount voucher was suitably successful.

Leg threatened cramp on the way home but decided against it after 100 yds (or about 91 m) or so. . Which was good.

Lunch: brunch.

Entertainment: Classic Movies: Chaplin.

Turned out I'd watched the Dan Do earlier in the week.

Jack Hargreaves Old Country.

Tonight’s reading has been One Two Three Four: The Beatles in Time by Craig Brown. It’s entertaining stuff, but could have done with being edited with a bit more care. For example, he says that Paul McCartney’s 21st birthday party was in the garden of his Auntie Jin’s house, “across the Mersey in Huyton” - but Huyton isn’t across the Mersey from his family home in Allerton; it’s about four miles northwest. I suspect he meant Heswall. And he contradicts what he wrote in an earlier sentence in the same paragraph in a story about Paul and Jane Asher. Still, there are plenty of good anecdotes in there, and it’s not as if any of it is a matter of huge importance

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been Sainsbury’s southern not-fried chicken with chips

To accompany this, the rest of the Police Interceptors from last night

And I found time earlier to get the tea towels, aprons, and oven gloves in the wash; they’re just coming to the end of their drying cycle

[ladymuck]

perhaps you'll get a call when the 'all new' programme gets started.

That's not impossible! The good PM and I have worked together before (which is how I got the job) so if he can bring me back, he will.

[sadkingbilly]

Well! The PM I don't trust was called into the office at 9am, asked to hand in his building pass and told to leave with immediate effect.

The PM I do trust has been retained and he's gutted that I've been canned.

Gig3 called two separate meetings for 9.30 this morning. The cohort I was in all got terminated with one week notice because the programme is being completely reset. My gig was up in three weeks but now summer holiday is starting sooner than planned. Yesterday, the PM's I work with were reassuring me that they still needed me on the programme. One I believe actually meant that, the other I don't trust so much.
