    Blue sky.

    Chilly in here at 15.9 deg, 16 deg in the kitchen, 13 deg in the leanto.

    1018 mBar, 30.06 in Hg, 763.56 Torr, 14.76 psi, (up fro 1011 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

    Freecell score: 75%, running average: 79%.

    Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine.

    Lunch: there was brunch.

    More gardening: the pile of crap for incineration gets ever larger.

    Getting dark earlier now. .

    Tea: beans on toast etc.

    Entertainment: some bolloxy poetry thing on R4.

    NZ Highway Patrol: S1 E4: the one with the nutter with a meth lab in the boot of his car.

    Some bollox or other on Blaze: "watching" being a considerable exaggeration.

    "The Final Appointment (1954)" with Sam Kydd and Arthur Lowe (the latter in a bit part).

    Took Mum to big Tesco. My brother and I made an executive decision to replace her boiler, which he's going to organise.

    Done a bit of mucking around with the forum, trying to work out why it can't use memcached for cacheing, which I'm hoping will ease the pressure on the database and make things run a bit more smoothly. Turns out vBulletin requires an old memcached PHP library, and the server is only configured with a more recent one. So I've had to ping the people who run the servers with instructions for how to add the missing library

    Early lunch, although it isn't really, of reheated KFC hot wings and popcorn chicken with ketchup

    People forget that the extra hour from the clocks changing means lunchtime happens later, so if you're feeling peckish "earlier" than usual, that'll be why

    Someone forgot to tell Max the clocks were going back.
    Misty walk on very dewy ground, but pleasant none-the-less

    Morning all

    Gloriously sunny morning with only a few wisps and chemtrails breaking up the blue. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 14 expected. There might be some rain in the wee hours overnight. Barometer up to 1022 mBar.

    Just having a cuppa before heading down to see Mum. Apparently on Friday she turned the heating thermostat down and then complained the radiators weren't getting hot. My brother put the thermostat back up and she's now back in tropical levels of warmth.

    Morning denizens

    Sunny day out and expected to continue thus, though getting dark an hour earlier according to the arbitrary and capricious temporal labelling conventions presently in use. The open skies are letting the heat escape though: currently 8°C and only reaching 13°. The barometers are up a chunk at 1010/1018mB

    Today's entertainment was the usual Monkey Life plus other wildlife stuff. It's all kicking off between the various otter clans of Singapore

    And I've read a few more chapters of Falling. Some good twists in the tale

    Early night plus the clocks going back means I can have a lie in and still be up in time for tomorrow's early Monkey Life session

    Goodnight all

    Tea was brought to me from KFC

    The additional stuff from the perennial special offers means I'll probably be eating the leftovers for a couple of days

    With The Wife away, this morning Max and I went for a walk. Came back in, hung up the washing and went for a walk.
    Walked 6km to a hostelry, consumed some of the guest ale (Exeter Avocet), then walked back home.

    I have thought about that, but I'm not sure what the neighbours would think about having a camera trained on them, with their comings and goings streamed to the world
