The rain didn't happen as much as in other places though there was a shower or two during the evening, and another one is currently ongoing
Our dad's Premium Bonds won £100 last month. He had it set up so they just get used for more bonds
Today's extensive selection of wildlife shows were almost all about sharks for some reason. Such programmes always remind me of the Pathetic Sharks in Viz, and I find it hard to take them seriously after that
Goodnight all

There was some unscheduled rain on arrival into Richmond but, as I was on the bus, it didn't affect me.
Lunch and the catch up were very nice, followed by a couple of drinks before heading home.

For tea tonight, I ventured forth to the kebab shop for kebab and chips
I felt a couple of spots of rain as I was getting back, but it doesn't seem to have come to much

Meanwhile on the 23rd of October 2019 NF concluded his viewing of Breaking Bad after consuming chicken in redwine sauce, and xogg discovered that some of his mapping problems were due to the data being metric rather than the Imperial he'd assumed.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked during which it deigned to drizzle upon me.
Lunch: baked spud etc.

Morning all
Dull, overcast, humid. Currently 22 degrees with a high of 24 expected. Barometer down to 1008 mBar.
Popped to the farmers' market this morning. Picked up some goat leg steaks for HWMBO to cook up when he's back next week. The Isle of Wight tomato stall doesn't take back their reusable boxes, which I feel is very poor form.
Off to Petersham Nurseries for lunch this afternoon.

Having rewatched the Hunger Games films, it was time for the premiere of the prequel, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023). It's good but let's face it, it was only ever going to be an adjunct to the originals. It's a reasonably entertaining way of passing some time if you like the original story, though
Following which, I was in the mood for something based more in reality, so rewatched In the Name of the Father (1993) about the appalling miscarriage of justice in the case of the Guildford Four and Maguire Seven. Very good, but it cannot be stressed to filmmakers often enough: judges in British courts don't have gavels! They're only used on Bargain Hunt in this country
And then a further episode of The Wire
I remembered to make the bed before all of the above - no duvet

I have caught up on 24 Hours in A&E.
I am still very grumpy with Channel4. They insisted that my account hadn't been used for two years and deleted it. I recreated it with the exact same login details I'd been using but obviously had lost all my lists. Will see if they delete it again in two years' time.

While out shopping earlier, I treated myself to a wok. So tea tonight has been sweet & sour pork with fried rice. I'm not about to claim that it was as good as you'd get from a Chinese, but it was very nice
I need to make the bed soon, as I left it to air in the heat of the day. Not sure I need bother with the arduous process of putting a duvet inside the cover until the weather cools down a bit
