Annoying morning, can't find any garages that can fix my gearbox problem within next 2 weeks, and two thermometers in fridge reading 15'C yet there is ice on the back. Eh???

[NickFitz]

I’m on the train (slightly late)

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning.

Wednesday apparently though the clock reckons it's Tu.

Grey.

Sunless.

Cool in here at 19.1 deg, 20.5 deg in the kitchen, 18 deg in the leanto.

1007 mBar, 29.73663 in Hg, 755.3121 Torr, 14.6 psi, (untapped), 74% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 6th of November 2019 it was cold and wet, and the Wayback machine hadn't saved images of the Beachsafe from 2000.

Morning denizens

Grey start out and a shower expected soon. But it's warm nonetheless: currently 16°C with an expected high of 23° here and soaring to 27° down in That London, whither I must go. The barometers remain unconvinced though, being down to 1001/1009mB

[WTFH]

Morning all

[NickFitz]

No more telly tonight but over at MI5, Peter Wright has finally retired

London tomorrow! What a hassle. Still, it makes a change

Goodnight all

Tea has been the last of the Turkish chicken, potato and tomato thing out of the freezer, with rice

Definitely going to make that again. I'll even see about getting the one or two ingredients I didn't have last time

And that was accompanied by the latest episode of Secrets of the London Underground which was mainly about Gloucester Road station, and the new trains coming next year for the Piccadilly line

Interesting story and I hope the NatGeo mini series does it justice

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been some M&S mini sausage rolls

The meeting in London tomorrow is still happening but due to difficulty finding a meeting room at such short notice, it won't be in the Old Admiralty Building this time - we've been relegated to some spare space in a DWP office block on Tothill Street

But on the bright side, the department is OK with me taking a few weeks off after this thing is shut down, so I should have a relaxing September

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Cloudy with intermittent breaks. Currently 22 degrees with a high of 24 expected. Barometer has dropped back down to 1015 mBar.

As HWMBO is actually delivering his course in central London for a change, I tagged along to his hotel last night and had a nice cooked breakfast this morning (not a euphemism). I'm now back at home looking for that elusive next gig and will meet him in the Oliver Conquest later today before we go for dinner.

Morning.

Tuesday.

Wanly sunny.

Vaguely dry.

Blue sky in small parts.

Cool in here at 18.8 deg, 20.5 in the kitchen, 18 deg in the leanto.

1010.5 mBar, 29.84 in Hg, 757.937 Torr, 14.656 psi, (down from 1012 last night), 73% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 5th of November 2019 there were many fireworks let off though quieter than the previous night, the bonfire went well consuming the detritus, LM related the tale of her exploding pumpkin, NF related the tale of being pulled out of the way of the descending flaming rocket debris, and assorted eps of "I, Claudius" and BTVS were enjoyed once the conflagrations had died down a bit.

Shopping trip to Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away. Found a 1/4W 5/16W oe spanner on the way back. Not a lot of call for those these days.

Lunch: there was lunch.

Entertainment: Y&Y <click>

Fringe S2 E9: the worms one, ideal lunchtime viewing. E10, E11, E12, E13, E14, E15, E16, E17, E18: note that the unshown S1 Ep "Unearthed" isn't amongst these: presumably an extra buried in the last dvd.

Tea: beans with little sausages except these were full size dog sausages that I bought for no readily apparent reason, terminal source of indigestion but I suppose they'll last a while.

Morning denizens

Patchy cloud out with a reasonable amount of sunlight making its way through the thin patches, and a light breeze. Reasonably warm at 15°C with 23° planned for later. The barometers are steady at 1005/1013mB

[NickFitz]

Tonight's first medical stuff was Saving Lives in Cardiff on iPlayer, in which members of the public were hacked at in various ways, successfully so in all cases

And then some old episodes of 24 Hours in A&E

Finally, down at MI5, Peter Wright is moving on from trying to prove his (now retired) boss is a Soviet agent to the more pressing matter of trying to bring down Harold Wilson's government

Tomorrow, I expect to start the process of undoing much of what has been done over the last eighteen months of work

Goodnight all
