    Morning all

    There was blue sky and wispy fluff when I got up but now it's all cloudy. Damp. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 16 expected, Rain forecast later this afternoon. Barometer steady at 1022 mBar.

    I am trying to get my creative crayons working today.

    Overnight rain has left the lanes a bit wet, but otherwise a pleasant walk was had.

    Morning.

    Monday.

    Grey.

    Dark.

    Dank.

    Dreary.

    Drizzly.

    Wet.

    Sunless.

    Chilly in here at 16.5 deg, 16 deg in the kitchen, 14.5 deg in the leanto.

    1015.5 mBar, 29.987 in Hg, 761.687 Torr, 14.728 psi, (down from 1017 last night), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 25th of November it was grey & raining & NF remarked on the bus windows being steamed up by the soggy hoi polloi within, covbob popped in for a visit having gone to the dark side in the NHS but with possibilities of a change for the better with an interview he'd forgotten applying for, whereas the Oak Island nutjobbery were busy finding wood, this being all they ever find, plus a 1963 dime which gave some return on the investment. .

    Grey and windy start after a rainy night. The insulating layers of cloud are working though: already 12°C and expected to reach 16°. The barometers are back down a little to 1006/1014mB

    Monday again. Just got to make it through seven more weeks before I start my extended Christmas and New Year break

    Sunday.

    The clocks went back an hour at 02:00 just to screw up everyone's body clock.

    Dry.

    Sunny.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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
