Casting around for something to watch this evening, I remembered that Air Crash Investigation is on Prime (albeit under a different title) so I watched the episode about USAir Flight 1493 which landed on top of SkyWest Airlines Flight 5569 at LA International in 1991, due to a moment of forgetfulness on the part of an overworked flight controller

Later, I read more of One Two Three Four

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been a pork cutlet with chips and beans

Sunny out now; quite a pleasant-looking evening

[NickFitz]

Lunch was a bit of pork pie

I’ve been feeling extremely under the weather today, again. I thought it might be hay fever, but apparently the pollen count is very low at the moment. And that made me realise: two weeks ago, I started feeling really tired all the time, getting headaches, and other symptoms. Also, while I do get hay fever, it’s never been anywhere close to as bad as what’s been happening during the past two weeks. And what do you know: two weeks ago, they started me on an additional cholesterol-lowering drug! And it turns out that the list of “possible adverse effects” includes tiredness, headaches, and the like

I filled in the online form on the surgery website saying I wanted to discuss possible side effects of medication with a doctor or pharmacist, but I haven’t heard back yet. I hope it isn’t one of those that goes into the bitbucket; you can never be quite sure when or if you’ll get a response to those forms. If I haven’t heard from them by tomorrow lunchtime, I’ll have to give them a call

Morning all
05:30 walk this morning and it was almost too cold to be out in just a t-shirt, although by the time we got back it had warmed up.
CBS, etc
Swelling in my hand has gone down a little.
The builders have put the second coat of paint on almost half the house. Plan is to be finished tomorrow.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the CofE thing: this week: the Yaxley Lennon live streamed lake baptism.

In addition to the fly I can't kill, there's now a moth that won't listen to instructions to fly out of the open back door. It'll be dead soon if it doesn't fecking listen.

Classic Movies: "3 days of the condor" with that Robert Redford chap and Faye Dunaway chapess.

House roughly vacced for the sake of doing something with the afternoon. Not much got moved & nothing in the junk room moved at all.

Jack Hargreaves Old Country: fishing rolds fishing for dace.

Tea: chilli con carne with rice etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM waffling about nothing since they knew nothing. The height of futility canned & served up for our delectation.

Morning denizens

It’s another slightly cloudy start that’ll rapidly clear up, with sunny skies expected all morning and the cloud building back up again this afternoon. It’s 14°C and aiming for 24°, with the barometers up a little more to 1016/1024mB

I suspect the hay fever is going to continue to be annoying; I think I’ll leave the windows shut for now

[NickFitz]

There was yet more watery wildlife earlier

And this evening, a further episode of 24 Hours in A&E

Tonight, I read more of One Two Three Four. No mention of George Harrison going to visit my Auntie Josie and family in the middle of the night in Auckland during their 1964 world tour, but I’m not sure that story has ever made it out of the family to the Beatles biographers

Monday again tomorrow. But I haven’t got a huge amount to do, and I’m off for ten days from Thursday

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Lunch earlier was a sliced chicken and stuffing bap (white), and tea has been takeaway leftovers

I seem to be getting attacked by pollen again. I’ve gone round and shut all the windows, in a vague and probably fruitless attempt to stop it getting in

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

Cloudy with gaps again, and there’s a light breeze to get the air circulating a bit. It’s 17°C now but the cloud will clear more this afternoon, letting it get to 22°. The barometers are up to 1014/1021mB

[xoggoth]

Meanwhile on the 1st of April 2020 Brillo, covbob, eek, LM, MrMarkyM....

Looking forward to NF releasing that widget to let us jump to a specific date in a thread so we can check if you are lying!

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Blue sky with occasional lumps of fluff. A breeze wafts every now and then. Currently 18 degrees with a high of 23 expected. Barometer up to 1025 mBar.

Sunrise 05:07; Sunset 21:08 BST

I was awoken at 6am by something scurrying around outside. I suspect it was in the garage's junk yard they have out back rather than my little patch of garden. I then dozed for a while and woke again at 8am. I considered this still too early and finally got up at 9am.

I'm all set for the drive down to Mum's; just having a coffee first. Next week I'll be staying with her while my brother has a well earned holiday.

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning.

Sunday.

Dry.

Wanly sunny.

Blue sky in parts with a lot of cloud.

23.5 deg in here, 25.2 in the kitchen, 23 in the leanto, 20 out the back.

1016.5 mBar, 30.02 in Hg, 762.4 Torr, 14.74 psi, (up from 1013 last night), 56% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 1st of April 2020 Brillo, covbob, eek, LM, MrMarkyMark, NF, and WTFH popped in, and the TPD Summer Holiday Specifically in General was mentioned.

So I've bumped it. .

Walk (up to the res & back down through the woods) walked. A mile up & a mile back down.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: my tinnitus, this being more inneresting than DiTiDi.

More youtube bollox about Inside Trump's Head from the Daily Beast. Well it passes the time.

Book. Other book.

Freecell score (when the box finally booted into safe mode): 95%, running average: 84%.

Tea: baked beans & baked spuds. Nice enough. Entertainment: R4 waffling on about closing CofE churches right left & centre. There're 3 Church in Wales churches within a mile in Neath, one just up the road is 12th C, another 12th C in Neath, and a big feck off Victorian one 200 yards from that. And there's another two across the river.

Book. Other book.

Danny Trejo Buried Crap thing on Blaze: military buried crap, including one of Churchill's staybehind bunkers, some septic bunker in Virginia, an Enigma machine divers found off the coast of Germany, etc. etc.

BBC4: Highway to the sun: the A303: A Gricer special. Now trying to find out if Annie's Tea Bar is still there. The MOT on the Morris "1000" Traveller is stil good (it's fitted with a 1275 engine, so a bit more pep than usual).

[NickFitz]

More watery wildlife on the box today

Tonight, I read more of One Two Three Four in which an ever-perceptive Ringo, after meeting a young Jeffrey Archer, said “He’s the kind of bloke who’d bottle your piss and sell it”

Goodnight all
