Lunch: leftover pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

And last night’s wholemeal loaf turned out extremely well, being just the right consistency for toast at breakfast

The desk hasn’t collapsed yet! I’m still getting used to the extra space though. I got distracted by the odd feeling something was amiss earlier, then realised it was because I’d swivelled my chair slightly and my leg hadn’t bumped into anything

Morning all

Overcast start but seems to be brightening up. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 17 expected. Cloud set to remain all day. Barometer down to 1013 mBar.

Sunrise 05:26; Sunset 20:31 BST

Lots of meetings today across all three clients. This means no actual work will get done.

Morning.

Tuesday.

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

17.9 deg in here, 19.5 in the kitchen, 16 in the leanto, 13.7 in the saltinghouse.

1009 mBar, 29.796 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.6343 psi, (unchanged), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 26th of March 2020 BR14, LM, NF popped in, with NF having filled his fridge & freezer, and BR14 having chilli con carne, and LM watching something about the Corby poisonings. And whilst LM heard some pot banging for the NHS, NF heard nothing where he was (much the same around here IIRC).

Washing frenzy in progress.

Shopping trip to Aldi & Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away. Morrisons trolley returned from pavement 100 yds from Aldi as my good deed of the day.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about care homes: been there, done that, got the t shirt. .

Wish I'd been kinder to my dad: he'd have been 106 yesterday: gone 11 years in October.

That requiring the attentions of the iRon received it & are now airing upstairs. Strewth I'm a bit .

Entertainment: Archive Hour: "Voices of the General Strike". 1926 and all that. Poor sods. It explains so much of "my son is never going down the pit" and yet other men loved that work.

Looks like a nice day out there.

Morning denizens

Quite a lot of cloud about this morning, but also quite a lot of gaps allowing for sunny spells. The cloud’s expected to win by lunchtime, though. It’s 9°C with an expected high of 15°, and the barometers seem uncertain, being down but only a notch, at 1002/1010mB

Morning all
The clouds that blew in overnight are now burning off. A pleasant walk has been had.

Not online much over the weekend, as the weather was pretty good and we spent a bit of time down on the coast. Max has bruised the pads on his feet from running too much on the beach, and I've managed to get a puncture in a self-sealing tyre. Well, there goes another £300+ fitting.

This evening's viewing was a new episode of Traffic Cops (the other new episodes have still not returned, so this was something like episode 18 of a series which only started a few weeks ago and of which only two others are available - 6 and 14, or something weird like that). It was a good one, being largely about some moron who drove into the back of stationary traffic at 70mph without braking because he was busy gambling on his phone. Analysis showed that he’d driven from Blackpool to Derby and been actively using his phone for messaging, gambling, and other such activities virtually the entire time. He’s now spending two years and a few months without a phone

And later, I read more of Goodbye Mickey Mouse

Back to work tomorrow! Oh well, soon be Thursday

Goodnight all

Tea has been a bit of a fry-up

And in other culinary activity, the bread maker is working its magic on what will end up as a wholemeal loaf

Nice afternoon with ll1, apart from the fact that she badgered me into taking a rusty old clothes horse to take to the dump. Got enough junk I haven't got round to taking to the dump.

Lunch earlier was some leftovers

I’ve gone through some stuff in the study. But my back is a bit grumbly today and doesn’t like me bending or hunching over sorting through stuff, so I’ll leave it for now

Yesterday, my back was OK! I ended up with complaints from my wrists and hands, and from one knee, about the desk assembly business. But they’re generally fine again today while the back has had a delayed reaction

I like the idea of nobody being allowed in but me. I hate people!

That’s the ideal!

Dull, overcast. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 18 expected. The sun is set to make an appearance this afternoon. Barometer up to 1009 mBar.

I ache today. My hands are also sore, and covered in scrapes and grazes. Mum doesn't seem to have any decent secateurs any more; I'm going to get one of my spare pairs sharpened and will drop them off next time I'm down.

Despite it being a bank holiday, the hairdresser is open so I will be getting the greys painted over. This afternoon I have a meeting with someone at gig2 who is based in a non-UK country. Getting to bill half a day for a one hour meeting is fine by me.

My car is parked in one of the few spots that isn't tree adjacent but I think it's best I look for a rudimentary cover for it.

Did I mention clutch pedal issues on driving home last Sunday? That reoccurred. Trying to decide if I need to get it to garage asap or if it can wait until I drop it in for its MOT in June.

Strange, - they all speak highly of you.

…NF popped to Sainsburys and had to queue to get in, with limits of 3 on each item purchased and other customers finding it difficult to stay the mandated 2m apart.

Strange days indeed! It made a change though, and I’m still quite taken with the idea of not letting too many people into the shop at the same time
