Late lunch of the last couple of Greggs sausage rolls out of the freezer

[NickFitz]

Home again after the trip south. As expected, not everything would fit into a Corolla in one trip, so various other articles have been stored temporarily in the conservatory

My brother-in-law was there to help me with loading, which was handy as my back is complaining a bit at the moment. But I had to get them out myself at the storage place on the way home. The only one that was at all problematic was a blanket chest, which is very solidly built and a lot heavier than I'd realised

Anyway, today's load is stored for now, except for a fairly large rug which I brought back here

Morning all

Sunny, dry. High level wispy bits here and there. Currently 15 degrees with a high of 21 expected. Barometer down a bit to 1025 mBar.

Just having a cuppa before heading off to visit Mum. Leaving a bit earlier than usual as I want to stop by the big Sainsbury's near her place - Fever Tree tonic is on offer at £1.70 a bottle and the store near me has been wiped out by other gin drinkers in the area.

Sunny out with high wispy cloud, and a breeze giving the trees a bit of a shimmy now and again. Mild again at 14°C with 18° due later, and the barometers are heading down again at 1014/1022mB

CBS, etc. Might do a bit of apple juicing today.

Morning.

Sunday.

Awake at stupid o'clock yet again. .

Dry.

Dark.

Sunless.

Cool in here at 15.8 deg, 17 deg in the kitchen, 14 deg in the leanto.

1022 mBar, 30.18 in Hg, 766.56 Torr, 14.8228 psi, (down from 1023 last night), 73% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 13th of November 2019 WTFH went to the dentist for the first time in a decade, NF consumed a sausage roll, LM had a jacket spud, and Morrisons had changed the tills to those unergonomic crap things that are there even yet.

How predictable having had a 524 for the original post.

Today saw lots of Monkey Life, in which Oshine, the orangutan due to come from South Africa, made her first appearance; and later, assorted other wildlife things

Not much done other than that, though I knocked together a quick and, so far, untested implementation of Dijkstra's algorithm for the maze stuff

Early night now: there's more Monkey Life first thing and as soon as that's done, I have to drive south to collect stuff

Goodnight all

The lurgy inflicted a couple of spells of weariness on me during the afternoon, but only briefly. Other than those, I've been feeling a bit better

So I decided to try exerting myself a little, and walked round to get kebab and chips for tea. Very nice as usual

I'm glad the kebab shop isn't very far away though, as I was feeling the effects of the exertion by the time I got back

[NickFitz]

^^^ I suppose you've checked everything for hidden pound notes? I found £500 hidden in various places before next door was cleared.

Good point! I think my sister was aware of such stashes as there were, but it can't hurt to do a final check

Patch cloud and sunny spells out, overall more scenic than gloomy. A bit milder again too: 16°C with an expected high of 19°, with the barometers up a touch to 1017/1025mB

Sunny again, occasional wisps of fluff here and there. Currently 15 degrees with a high of 19. Barometer up a smidge to 1027 mBar.

A chap came to look at the guttering and cleared a load of junk out of it. Also mentioned there were some minor issues that needed fixing, brackets and such, which my landlady and the lad upstairs need to agree to between them.

Popped to the farmers' market. Usual suspects there. Picked up some tomatoes and goats cheese. Also got some black pudding and tomato sausages from the Grasmere butcher stall. They are very tasty and I have become a bit addicted to them.

Lovely morning out there, perfect temperature, so I have come back indoors.

Grey.

Wanly sunny.

Dry.

NotSoCold in here at 15.4 deg, 16 deg in the kitchen, 13.5 deg in the leanto.

Meanwhile on the 13th of November 2019 WTFH was off to the dentist, I was in with the hoi polloi in the old Library computer room expecting it to be raining by the time I left, whereas NF was watching "Edge of Darkness (BBC version)".

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine. Warmer than yesterday.

Lunch: there was.

Entertainment: Moneybox, The News Quiz.

Read bits of assorted books: mostly the one about David Douglas, he of fir tree fame. Turns out he died at the age of 34 by falling into a bull pit on Hawaii, blind in one eye & partially sighted in the other.

Freecell score: 90%, running average: 75%.

Tea: bully beef (last chunk), couple of boiled eggs, baked beans & mash.

Entertainment: Due South S1 E3, E4 (dvd glitched at the start).

Bit of Kung Fu S2 E1. Couldn't be arsed to wait for it to fail so turned it off.

Bored. Now.

Tonight's major motion picture was War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) which is, of course, excellent. And with the trilogy rewatched, I am able to embark upon the new one, sure in the knowledge that the back story is clear in my memory

And then S6E2 of The Wire

Still not feeling 100%, so I'm not sure I'll be heading south tomorrow. It occurred to me that the new owners have accepted our offer to leave the conservatory furniture for them, so any bits I want can be stored in the conservatory as the clearance people shouldn't be going in there anyway. That makes getting stuff slightly less urgent, though I still need to pop down and get some of it and put the rest in there. It means it's less of a rush job though, so I'll probably go down either Sunday or Monday - they won't start clearing stuff until Monday afternoon anyway

Goodnight all
