Lunch: ham toasties

Bit of a quiet day today as ClientGov is having its annual live-in-person meet-up down in London, and most people are there. I was asked whether I was coming and politely declined. They asked why (not pressuring me, just so they have an idea of why people might choose not to go) and I pointed out that out of four visits to London on their behalf in the last three years, two have resulted in me spending a couple of weeks laid out by some foul disease, suggesting a 50:50 chance of it happening again. They agreed that this was an excellent reason not to bother going

Apparently dry.

Chilly in here at 14.9 deg, 15 deg in the kitchen, 13 deg in the leanto.

1008.5 mBar, 29.78 in Hg, 746.44 Torr, 14.627 psi, (down from 1011 last night), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 21st of November 2019 WTFH had hot water restored by the needful doings of the plumber, Brillo poked his head above the parapet, and I spent yet more time "killing" brambles and taking stuff down the dump, having reached S6 of BTVS and viewed the advent of Skip in "Angel".

Grr. Too much on this week. Old fart art this morning and karaoke in evening. Tomorrow old fart group walk morning and history society talk in evening. Cabaret Thursday and loony lady 1 Friday.

The Halifax finally got around to refunding the extra payment they took at the start of the month, so I think that means the matter of the mortgage is completely done and dusted

Morning denizens

Cloudy start but dry, and milder too: already at 9°C with an expected high of 16°. The barometers are very slightly up at 1004/1012mB

No more telly tonight as I finished reading The Siege. Excellent stuff, well worth reading if you're interested in such things

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Son's scrambled eggy lunch followed by 38m walky. Shorter than usual but it's grey and rainy.

I assume that "m" stands for minutes, not miles?

[NickFitz]

Tea has been twirly pasta bol

Accompanied by the one remaining episode of the Brighton cops thing on All4, which served to remind me that I don't actually like Brighton much

Chilly in here at 14.6 deg, 13 deg in the kitchen, 12 deg in the leanto.

Meanwhile for the 21st of November 2019: see yesterday's post above. .

Trip to that Swansea to dispose of this month's accumulation of books. And pay the CC.

Bought some Ed McBain books and found "A small town in Germany" in an M&S compilation of LeCarre early novels, which was satisfying.

Didn't buy "A Most wanted Man" because I thought I had it (not on my list) and it transpires that I don't have it. Ho hum.

Shopping trip to Tesco on the way back: washed dried sanitised and put away.

Lunch: there was.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom.

Tea: chilli con carne: nice enough for sommat that came out of a tin. Fiery with the added chilli powder.

Entertainment: book.

Freecell score: 88%, running average: 78%.

Schama waffling on about rivers & stuff.

Oak Island bollox: the metal detecting moron is even more irritating. And this week they still ain't found anything. Last week's green thing is made of brass apparently.
