Apparently there are worms.
Morning
Saturday.
Dry.
Sunny.
Blue sky.
Cool in here at 17 deg (verging on chilly), 18 deg in the kitchen, 16 deg in the leanto, 13 deg in the saltinghouse.
1013 mBar, 29.914 in Hg, 759.8 Torr, 14.69 psi, (down from 1015 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 69% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 1st of October 2019 I watched the ep of Jeremiah that had the elephant in it, followed by various skin problem epics, then there was much discussion of the borders laid down by colonial powers, NF watched a couple of eps of Breaking Bad, and WTFH found out how much his op would cost.
Shirts & smalls in the WM.
Shirts & smalls out of the WM and pegged out on the line.
Cottons in the WM.
The bit of DIY from yesterday regarding the painting of the brackets for the shelf about the sink was completed & the shelf returned to position.
I am utterly knackered for some reason. I wonder if it's long plague. Or just hayfever.

I still haven't seen Dune: Part Two yet.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostTonight's major motion picture experience was Dune: Part One (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024), which turned out to be the right order because the latter starts just after the end of the former, so it was rather like watching a Saturday teatime Brookside omnibus

Morning all
Sunny, blue sky with occasional lumps of fluff. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 21 expected. Barometer has slipped a bit down to 1018 mBar.
Up early to visit the GP for a routine 'women's things' appointment. In and out in 5 minutes, perfect. A flat viewing booked in at lunchtime, after which I don't think I'll be able to stall much longer on the flat I'm not so sure about.Leave a comment:

Did you miss me?
Back from our little jaunt and I see the weather is quite nice this morning. Lots of gardening to catch up on, and dog walking.Leave a comment:

I've already expressed my appreciation of the first because I've watched it before, and the second is also very good. It seems from the ending that they're planning a third, which once one is of a certain age leaves one wondering if one will be around to see it. I wonder how many never got to read the ends of the serialisations of Great Expectations or A Tale of Two Cities back when Dickens was pumping his stuff out in magazines week by week? I might ask my tame Dickens expert on Twitter about that tomorrow; if he doesn't know, he'll probably go and find out, or at least come up with an estimate several years hence, and it'll give him something extra to think about when he's digging around in the archives
Goodnight all

Fallback food turned out to be chunky breaded cod with chips and beans. Very nice; been a while since I've had that

I've had a rack of ribs in the freezer (the one that came with the flat, not the ailing one) for nearly a year, and last night I transferred it to the fridge to thaw overnight. At lunchtime I cut open the vacuum pack it's wrapped in, planning to apply some BBQ sauce as a marinade, preparatory to cooking it this evening. But it smelt really bad so I left it for the afternoon, as sometimes things smell bad immediately upon coming out of a vacuum pack but are OK after a little airing.
Gave it a sniff just now, and: no. Very much not OK
Looks like you can't keep a rack of ribs that long. Also looks like I'm having something else for tea

Lunch: Heinz tomato and basil soup with white toast
The soup's nice enough, but I'll probably stick with the traditional one from now on. Worth trying though

Sunny with lumps of fluff. Dry with no rain forecast. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 19 expected. Barometer up to 1019 mBar.
Having slept on the flat situation, I'm definitely thinking I was too hasty. Put in a few calls to follow up on places I'd previously not considered and am hoping to squeak in a viewing or two asap. I did come to the realisation last night that my tendency to react badly to ultimatums does put me in a pickle sometimes.Leave a comment:

Friday.
Dry.
Sunless.
Grey.
Chilly in here at 17.7 deg, 18 deg in the kitchen, 17 deg in the leanto.
1013.5 mBar, 29.928 in Hg, 760.18 Torr, 14.699 psi, (up from 1013 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 69% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 1st of October 2019 WTFH visited the consultant (expensive) in preparation for his next visit (very very expensive), LM was in that London being rained on, while her stalker was in that London too, followed by thunder & lightning on her walk home, I had M&S fish for tea (which will never happen again now the shop has shut), followed by viewing on the late lamented Smithsonian channel, whereas the weather was getting chilly for NF, and LM watched a programme about maps.

Morning denizens
Email still isn't working; DNS updates seem slow, despite the TTL having expired
Anyway, it's a fairly sunny start, albeit with patchy cloud, especially towards the east. It's expected to brighten up more later, though. Currently 10°C and aiming for 16°, with the barometers a little resurgent at 1005/1013mB
