    Currywurst for lunch

    To go along with this, a bit of Ice Road Truckers

    Dinner is prepped, a variation on Ottolenghi chicken with preserved lemons. Seed bread is prepped, to go in the oven at the same time as the chicken tagine.
    Last night’s film entertainment was “Don’t Look Up” from five years ago. Funny, but also a lot of similarities to US politics right now.
    On the joblist for this afternoon is to try to work out why the number keys have stopped working on my Zagg iPad keyboard. Very frustrating.

    A glorious time. After years of suffering, the relief was tremendous!

    Morning denizens

    Grey day again, and things seem a little damp after some rain last night. Mild enough though: 7°C (“feels like” 5°) and aiming for 8° this afternoon - though that will coincide with the chance of more rain, continuing into the night (50-70%). The barometers have moved cautiously upwards to 988/996mB

    Morning.

    Sunday.

    Damp.

    Grey.

    Misty.

    Sunless.

    Drizzly.

    Dreary.

    Chilly in here at 12.8 deg, 12 in the kitchen, 10 in the leanto.

    Meanwhile on the 14th of March 2020 Brillo and BR14 popped in and NF was celebrating the opening of his windows by opening the windows a lot, though the cold was a bit offputting.

    Raining.

    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: book. End of book.

    Misty and drizzling, it appears that the heaviest rain has been while I was asleep. The morning walk will wait about an hour to see if this clears.

    There was a reasonable amount of wildlife stuff on the box today, and later a further episode of Planet Earth III

    Meanwhile in Berlin, the Russians are ready to begin their final assault, Eisenhower has paused his forces at the Elbe because he’s a mug, and the Fuhrer continues to issue orders that depend on units that basically don’t exist any longer

    Goodnight all

    This evening HWMBO and I watched the new Naked Gun film. Very entertaining. We ended up also watching the entire credits because they snuck in silly things. I don't think I got them all.

    Tea was brought to me from the South Indian place past the park. Very nice indeed, though it induced a great deal of gustatory rhinitis

    The HHGTTG thing was a bit naff. Luckily it only lasted 90 minutes.

    Drove to Canada today and got home with still over 120 miles range, possibly helped by putting the car into self drive mode (except you can’t call it that, and you can’t let go of the steering wheel for more than 15 seconds, but there’s no need to steer, speed up or slow down, the car does it all.

    Afternoon denizens

    It’s cloudy with bits of blue showing here and there and a bit of a breeze, with some showers passing through from time to time. The current 8°C supposedly “feels like” 2° but I don’t think it’s that bad, based on poking my head out of the window. The day’s high of 9° has already come and gone, and the barometers are shuffling upwards at 986/994mB

    Sunny day.

    Off to the gym in a few minutes - then swim and sauna. Later will nip to Germany to do some shopping. We've run out of fruit and veg.

    Morning all

    Blue sky and fluff. Wet ground, must have been a lot of overnight rain. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 10 expected. Barometer up to 998 mBar.

    Sunrise 07:42; Sunset 16:49 GMT

    HWMBO and I have been to the farmers' market where we procured a chicken and some sausages. HWMBO was not enthused by the vegetables which is what he actually wanted to buy.

    I am off to Hammersmith in about 45 minutes to see the interactive Hitchhiker's Guide thing that's had some mixed reviews. Meeting my friend at Pret in the station, if I can remember where it is.
