SPOOKY! - i just read the book this week.
disappointing, as usual.
I find it hard to find NEW concepts in scifi, everybody just rehashes previous work it seems.
Maybe reading it(scifi) almost exclusively since 1962 ish has jaded me somewhat.

Morning all

Dull and damp. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 11 expected. Dampness set to continue. Barometer down a smidge to 1015 mBar.

Sunrise 07:56; Sunset 16:28 GMT

No meetings today. I have to write a presentation and that's about the sum of today's required efforts.

Morning.

Monday.

Foggy.

Hints of sun.

Damp.

Chilly in here at 12.8 deg, 11 in the kitchen, 8 in the leanto.

1009 mBar, 29.796 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.63 psi, (down from 1010 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 12th of March 2020 quackhandle, LM, NF, covbob and I popped in. covbob had another 3 calls from pimps. The soreen was all gone. quackhandle was working solely to buy squirrel proof birdfeeders.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the brilliant sunshine. Blue skies. Glorious day.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about standing charges, then house insulation con jobs <click>.

Foyle's War S3 E2 "Enemy Fire": the requisitioned great house turned into a burns hospital one.

Dear me, some of the special effects are gruesome.

Morning denizens

It’s a grey day out and felt very damp; I don’t know if there was more rain overnight, but at least there isn’t supposed to be any today. No sunny spells either, though. It’s mild enough for January at 6°C with a stretch goal of 9°, and the barometers are down again at 1001/1019mB

I don’t think I got enough quality sleep last night as I discovered, on emerging from the shower, that I’d forgotten to set the coffee brewing. Not the best way to start the week

For tonight’s reading, I embarked upon Stalingrad by Anthony Beevor. It’s reputed to be the best book on the subject, and there’s a lot of it. He explains in the preface that he got lucky: he went to research the subject in Russia's MoD archives just after Yeltsin had ordered them to open up even to foreigners, and he was able to access all kinds of material never seen by historians before. A few years later, Putin was in charge, and the archives had been closed again and have been ever since

Monday again tomorrow. Oh well, soon be Thursday

Goodnight all

Tea has been homemade pork chow mein

This is usually more of a midweek thing, as it’s fairly quick and easy to make (not counting putting the pork in the oven, covered, for a couple of hours on very low heat). But Sainsbury’s only had belly pork slices with today’s date, so I decided to use them up rather than trying to cram them into the freezer

And to accompany this, a bit of Surgeons: A Matter of Life and Death on C5, courtesy of ladymuck

Walk with loony lady 2 earlier, hardly anything of a walk really, she is so decrepid now.

Found much simpler way of doing my mappy things, I hadn't realised that Bing maps handles x,y pixel locations that are not in the current screen area.

It’s a grey and rainy day out there today, though the rain seems to have eased off for now. There’ll be a bit more later though. The temperature now is 6°C (”feels like” 2°) and this will soar to 7° by lunchtime. The barometers are up to 1006/1014mB

I’ve just had a couple of croissants with strawberry jam for breakfast. Very nice
