    Tea has been a roast pork dinner. Very nice

    It's been raining a bit but had paused, so I popped round the corner to stick some post in the local pillar box. Nice fresh air out there

    Long walky. Usual luck with the weather, drizzle so light you could barely feel it. Hmm, drink up the club? Maybe.

    drizzly here. Got wet on our perambulation and since The WifeTM is away and it's miserable weather, I decided to bill a few hours.

    Rather cloudy start, with traces of rain on the ground and a chance of some more (albeit light) starting shortly. It's generally expected to be cloudy but dry until more rain arrives this evening, though. It's quite mild too, being 11°C with 14° expected. The barometers have dropped fairly sharply to 990/998mB

    Just remembered that the bed hasn't been made yet. Best get on that once I finish the very delicious margarita that HWMBO made for me.

    It says something that Nick went to bed before me.

    But I rather enjoyed the Kirsty MacColl programs on BBC 2 (she would have been 65 next Thursday).

    As usual, there was a load of Monkey Life followed by other wildlife stuff on the box today. Among the latter is a good series about various families of otters living in Singapore

    This evening, I've read a few more chapters of Eternity

    Early night now, ready for early Monkey Life tomorrow!

    Goodnight all

    Afternoon all

    Dry and sunny with lumps of fluff. A light breeze. Currently 17 degrees and it might get up to 18. Barometer down to 1013 mBar.

    The bed has been stripped and left airing. It's nice enough out that it's worth putting the linen out in the garden on the airer. I doubt it'll dry today though.

    No farmers' market visit today.

    Interview date and time set for next week. Odd going for a permanent job but, if I get it, it'll actually offer more opportunity should the market pick up again.

    Morning.

    Saturday.

    This morning woke to the strains of Queen's "39" in my head. Which made a change. Turned on R4 to get it out of there, 06:47 being a bit early for a saturday.

    Dry.

    Sunny.

    Blue sky in parts.

    Chilly side of chilly in here at 15.5 deg, 16 deg in the kitchen, 13.5 in the leanto.

    1009 mBar, 29.796 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.634 psi, (down from 1013 last night), 76% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 19th of November 2019 NF was watching The Wire (S2 this time) and it was very cold, LM being delayed on the train by repairs to the track.

    Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine & bracing breeze.

    Lunch: there was.

    Freecell score: 93%, running average: 77%.

    Trudged down to the surgery for the 's flu jab and the shingles jab, so two sore arms.

    Tea: soup etc.

    Entertainment: some nonsense or other. Gilmour live in Gdansk: lots of stuff I find indifferent along with some good old PF.

    More "Meet the ancestors" interspersed with the above.

    Book.
