Lunch has been a sausage and bacon bap (white)

Still feeling rather out of sorts, but it doesn’t seem to be getting worse

Having considered my position, I’ve determined that I almost certainly don’t need to go shopping this week. It’s not often I plan so far ahead but, upon checking the forecast, I see there’s a chance of sleet on Friday, so that’s another reason not to bother

Meanwhile The Wife went to Pussers bar last night for a painkiller.

I have fond memories of Pusser's Trading Post in Tortola BVI when i was on diving holidays a loooong time ago.
happy hour painkillers after a day's diving were de rigeur.

Lynley
Night Manager
The Ridge
(all on iPlayer)

Ta.

I had a quick look at Lynley but each episode is 90mins long so might have to start early. Nightmanager is a good call and will take a look at the Ridge. Cheers.

[WTFH]

I need to find something decent to watch on TV. Trying to get into the Agatha Christie remakes on iPlayer but they're a bit pants tbh.

Morning.

Tuesday apparently.

Wet.

Calm.

Grey.

Sunless.

Chilly in here at 12.7 deg, 11.5 in the kitchen, 10 in the leanto.

975 mBar, 28.79 in Hg, 731.31 Torr 14.14 psi, (down from 982 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 13th of March 2020 NF was following Apollo 13 in RealTime(tm), whilst covbob, LM, and LondonManc popped in, whereas I was finishing off the iRoning.

Sun came out: Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine. Actually approached warm enough to take scarf off towards the end. .

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: after yesterday's dry stone walling, today was Highland thatched roofing. With turf and suchlike.

Foyle's War S4 E4

A tad stormy overnight, woke up this morning to a bit of a puddle in the utility room, and signs of water ingress by the disused chimney in the ceiling of bedroom 2. Remarkably all the shed/summerhouse roofs remain intact and the greenhouse looks OK too.

Still wet and windy as we went out on the walk, but both have died down now. Meanwhile The Wife went to Pussers bar last night for a painkiller.

Morning denizens

It’s a cloudy, windy, rainy morning out there; 5°C “feels like” -7° and with the rain set to continue till lunchtime and the wind carrying on after that, I doubt the 8° we’re promised towards sunset will feel much better. The barometers are also taking a pessimistic view, being down to 971/979mB

I had a rubbish night’s sleep for the most part. Annoyingly, I kept finding myself too hot to sleep but when I finally gave in and got up to take my temperature, the thermometer claimed it was a little below normal if anything. Anyway, I seem to have slept OK for the last few hours before getting up, so I’m hoping the lurgy is mild and will soon pass

Tonight’s viewing was (part of) Police Interceptors

And in Stalingrad, the Germans have finally surrendered. Hitler’s last-minute promotion of Paulus to Field Marshal, on the basis that no German Field Marshal had ever surrendered so he’d kill himself instead, didn’t work

Goodnight all

Me too NF. Had horrid cough for a while, then thought it had all gone away on Saturday but it's back. May have to skip my arty thing tomorrow.

PS Maybe I could have passed it to you via tpd. I bet that green vomiting emoji at the right is passing things on.

Mine doesn’t seem to be getting much worse, so I’m hoping it’ll be a mild one

Only a 15 minute warning to Connect to the Final reading from Paradise Lost for this season. (Let’s see if this post gets 5k likes)

Sadly likes were disabled some time ago.

They did well. The other team got a few more early answers. The rest of the time they were well matched.

Tea: oniony chicken casserole. Haven't had that in a while

It almost ended up not being very oniony, as I forgot to chop up and fry an onion before browning the chicken. Luckily I was using the very big frying pan, so I was able to sort that out while the chicken was doing and get it to a reasonable state before chucking everything in the Remoska

Lunch has been a cold roast chicken leg with a bag of plain crisps

I’m feeling a bit out of sorts today. The kind of feeling where one might be coming down with a cold (or worse) or it might just go away after a day or two
