    Much confusion as they interrupt this morning's run of Monkey Life with a programme about an award for portrait artists, pushing the remaining episodes back ninety minutes. I'm not sure they've really thought about their target audience here; most chimps who pursue an artistic vocation concentrate on abstract expressionism

    Windy out, but sun is shining. Lawnmower shed roof is still intact, but summerhouse & workshop have lost their felt.

    Branch down! A bit of one of the tall conifers along the front of the big lawn has come off and is lying at the far side of said lawn

    It's still windy and rainy, though not as bad as last night. Fairly mild for the time of year, being 5°C with 7° due later; the barometers are shooting back up at 1008/1016mB

    Lots of Monkey Life and other wildlife stuff today, as usual

    This evening, I started reading Siegfried Sassoon's The Complete Memoirs of George Sherston - or rereading to start with, as it's three books in one and the first is Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man, which I read about thirty years ago. Haven't read the other two though. It's an odd work because although it's fictional, it's really an autobiography with the names changed and various significant elements of his life, such as poetry, omitted. But everything in there also appears in his actual autobiographies

    Early night now, ready for more Monkey Life first thing

    Goodnight all

    Rarely find anything worth watching on TV but Return to Paradise, yet another spinoff of Death In etc., ain't bad. Gawd, that DI McKenzie Clarke has such a creepy look.

    Just remembered that I was working with a developer who I think is about thirty years old last week, and when I said something about how you need to understand octal to change Unix file permissions, he said "What's octal?"

    Almost got me new PC all set up. Windows 11 seems ok.

    Bit grey and damp but wind doesn't seem like anything special. Mind you, fairly sheltered here, never thought the 1987 storm amounted to much until I got to the top of the hill. Need me walky anyway.

    Updateypoo
    Above comment must have annoyed the wind, got a lot angrier now.

    Afternoon denizens

    It's been rainy and windy and is still a bit breezy, though not on the scale experienced by those of you further west. No rain at the moment, though it'll be back throughout the afternoon. Currently 7°C (but "feels like" -5°, it says here, which seems rather extreme) on its way down from an earlier high of 11°, and the barometers are all the way down at 977/985mB

    Dull and wet. Currently 7 degrees ('feels like' 3) and that's the high for the day. Rain set to ease up in the next couple of hours. Wind has died down compared to last night/early this morning. Barometer down to 989 mBar.

    My food waste bin has disappeared thanks to the wind but hopefully it's not gone too far.

    Waiting for the last of the bed linen to finish being washed and then I'll be off to Westfield to give blood. After that I'll be heading further east to that Canary Wharf to have a gander at my friends' new pad in one of these build to rent places the CW estate is putting up.
