Blimey, that's kink I doubt anyone would admit in public

Kink? Gordon Bennet, don't think I was having that sort of dream about him.

Actually sleep not too bad last night considering. Only bad thing was, I was having dreams about Ed Milliband.

Morning denizens

Guess what? Sunny, hot, unbearable!

To get into the details: having failed to dip any lower than 20°C overnight, it’s already 29° and will hover around 33° for most of the afternoon. But it’ll get down to 17° tonight, and tomorrow will “only” be 28° before heading for much more sensible low/high ranges in the low teens to low twenties next week

I awoke a little after seven and was thinking of getting up. But poor sleep quality caught up with me and I fell asleep again, waking once more at half nine

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Ugh. Sunny again. Currently 28 degrees ('feels like' 31)with a high of 34 expected. The overnight low will once again, not be low. Barometer down to 1014 mBar.

Sunrise 04:46; Sunset 21:23 BST

The forecast thunderstorm never materialised. There is no such event forecast for today.

Invoicing day for gig3.

Morning.

Friday.

Dry.

Sunny.

26.4 deg in here, 28.2 in the kitchen, 26 in the leanto, 28 in the front bedroom, 27.3 in the saltinghouse, 25 outside the back door (where it was 38 yesterday afternoon).

1003 mBar, 29.62 in Hg, 752.3 Torr, 14.55 psi, (unchanged), 73% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 31st of March 2020 AndyGarbs, covbob (new offer in hand), LM, NF (in mad shopping spree mode looking for lentils), vetran, and I popped in after a beetroot sandwich to take away the taste of the Heinz(tm) Sandwich Spread. .

Oh the relief: humidity is now down to 66% RH in here. And there's a nice breeze.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: "Discoverying Movies: The Orient Express". Hadn't seen (or don't remember ) that one before.

Down to 64% RH now. .

Morning all

[NickFitz]

I finished reading A Canticle for Leibowitz tonight. Strange, but good

The bedroom was at 28.1°C but there’s an actual breeze getting through the window! So in the last hour or so, it’s gone down to 27.6°, which is still far too hot but an improvement

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been a rack of ribs and chips

Not just any rack of ribs, an M&S rack of ribs

Accompanying viewing has been American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing on Netflix

The interior of the flat now seems to be about 30°C or more everywhere, but the air conditioner is keeping the living room at no more than 25° so it’s bearable in here. No respite tonight, when it’ll get no lower than 20°; I thought of doing the early run to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s, but it’ll already be 24° or higher by 8am so I’m leaving it

At least I remembered to buy ice cream in advance this time. Might have some of that in a bit

[ladymuck]

Afternoon all

Sunny. Not a cloud to be seen from my vantage point. Currently 32 degrees ('feels like' 35) with a high of 33 expected. The forecast overnight low isn't low at all. There might be a thunderstorm around 5-6 am which looks like it'll just make things more humid tomorrow. Barometer at 1017 mBar.

Sunrise 04:45; Sunset 21:23 BST

Busy morning. Just the one 15 minute stand up at gig3, followed by me finally getting some inspiration for the work needed at gig2. Only 4 more billing days remain there

[sadkingbilly]

Afternoon
quite nice here today. sea haar this morning, now a greyish 22C.

[NickFitz]

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

Up to 28°C here now. The air conditioner is managing to hold it down to a tolerable 25° in the living room

[WTFH]

Morning all
CBS, etc.
Visiting dad, which means the temperature is about 10C cooler than at home. Had a great night’s sleep last night, and looking forward to a pleasant (temperature wise) day today.

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning.

Thursday.

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

25.5 deg in here, 27.3 in the kitchen, 26 in the leanto, 82 in the porch, 27.8 in the front bedroom, 27.1 in the salting house.

1007.5 mBar, 29.75 in Hg, 755.7 Torr, 14.6 psi, (down from 1009 last night), 76% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 31st of March 2020 AndyGarbs outposted Brillo, LM contributed, as did NF about Men in Llandudno who Stare At Goats, and I was still eating Heinz sandwich spread for some unknown reason: probably to see if it was as nasty as I'd remembered.

Even earlier brunch than usual. Entertainment: some artist chap on R4 <click>

It's now 26.3 deg in here.

Secret Nazi Bases: on a roasting hot Thursday afternoon with nothing better to do, what's not to like?

A couple I don't recall watching previously: S1 E3: Villa Winter: The strange house built by a German chap Gustav Winter on Fuerteventura, Canaries, in 1936, 1946, or 1958 according to which report you believe. . Looks a trifle over engineered for its declared purpose.

S1 E6: The Mystery of the Nazi Nukes: Bergkristal. The Austrian tunnels with raised background count that The Authorities are keen no one investigates. .

Tea: baked beans with baked spuds: nice enough. Entertainment: PM <click>

Blaze: more UFO bollox.

38 deg in the salting house earlier. 32 in the leanto. 32 in the front bedroom. 28 in here. FFS.

Spots of rain. It's very cloudy out there.

In other news The Leg (R) improved with a bit of a rest and celebrated this with some sort of tear in the calf muscle. . Ho very hum. It's ok so long as I walk on the heel and don't attempt to walk properly.
