Bright and sunny. A touch of cloud that is set to dissipate as the day progresses. Currently 18 degrees with a high of 24 expected. Barometer remains at 1012 mBar. Gave it a firm tap to make sure it wasn't stuck.
Off to see Mum today and inspect the gardener's handiwork. Down in Sussex by the sea, it looks like it'll be a bit cloudier and a couple of degrees cooler. That's what you get for being on the coast.
And this evening I started reading To Catch a Spy: How the Spycatcher Affair Brought MI5 in from the Cold by Tim Tate, which is hot off the press, having been published two days ago. It promises to cover the whole nonsensical business around HMG and Peter Wright's book in greater detail than any previous account, as lots of official documents and court transcripts that had been kept secret have been released to the archives in recent years
No doubt The Great She Elephant will have a starring role.
Morning.
Dry.
Wanly sunny.
Cool in here at 19.8 deg, 21.5 deg in the kitchen, 18.5 deg in the leanto, 16.4 deg in the saltinghouse.
1009 mBar, 29.796 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.6343 psi, (up from 1008 last night), 71% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 2nd of November 2019 NF was washing towels, later reminiscing about Ye Fosse Way and Wot did the Romans do for us? while wondering about the crash by the pedestrian corssing whereas LM was getting wound up by some prog about training pickup artists, and I noted that Kilvey Hill FM came back roughly 12 hours after the Cracke of Doome in the early hours.
There is a phrase or saying: "some poor bastard catches his death at a funeral". . Ho hum.
Sunny start out, though filtered by a high haze. There's a pleasant light breeze too. Currently 15°C with 21° expected later, and the barometers are really much the same at 1001/1009mB
Morning all
Managed a lot of jobs yesterday and finished the day off with a large bonfire. 8 dumpy bags of garden waste burned, not counting the 10 metres of our hedging that the owner of the field behind had dug up and left in our garden.
Chopping wood today.
Lots of old Monkey Life on today, at the more usual lunchtime period rather than the early one they did last week. And that was followed by a variety of wildlife stuff, though managing to not be quite so shark-centric this week

Early night now as tomorrow's Monkey Life session is on earlier again
