    Yea olde jalopy is off for its MOT this morning. I really hope it passes, am very worried it won't.

    This afternoon I pick up the keys to the new gaff and get to follow the check in agent around saying, "you missed that".

    Morning.

    Friday apparently, though when I woke I couldn't figure out what day it was.

    Damp.

    Grey.

    Blue sky in parts.

    Wanly sunny.

    Chilly in here at 17.1 deg, 17.5 deg in the kitchen, 17 deg in the leanto.

    997.5 mBar, 29.456 in Hg, 748.18 Torr, 14.468 psi, (down from 1000 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 70% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 10th of October 2019 I was making rice pudding (excessively sweet) in the microwave followed by watching yet more Jeremiah and Joan of Arcadia, whereas NF was watching yet more Breaking Bad (S4) and wondering if anyone next door but one would deign to put the wandering umbrella of the front garden in the bin.

    Morning denizens

    Grey start out but not raining, though it may this afternoon and evening. It was quite breezy last night but that seems to have settled down a bit. It's a mild start at 13°C though not getting past 16°, while the barometers are decidedly down at 987/995mB

    Friday, though!

    An old Police Interceptors provided a modicum of entertainment whilst dining

    This week has been very frustrating. Constantly chopping and changing from one thing to another, primarily for bureaucratic rather than technical reasons. Context switches are tiring, and several in a day leads to so little being done that it feels very frustrating. Finally managed to cut through some red tape and get something sorted out this afternoon though, so there might be something achieved by the end of the week

    Speaking of which: Friday tomorrow!

    Goodnight all

    Something turned out to be gammon, fried egg, chips, and beans

    Still rainy out, and looks like it's settled in for the evening

    As there's no new Viz to worry about, I went to the closer but barely adequate Sainsbury's, where I only forgot a couple of things because of the layout

    The route home from there doesn't go near the chip shop unless one makes a detour, so I did; but as I was earlier than usual, it was very busy and there was nowhere to park close by. As it had just started raining quite heavily, I took this as a sign and came home instead to have something I've already got

    Wondering whether to go shopping in a bit. Viz isn't out until next week, so it's not urgent. But I suppose I could get some other stuff, like bread and meat

    Afternoon all

    A dull day with a bit of a breeze. The weather app says it's raining but observations with my eyes disagree. Rain is forecast for the rest of the day. Currently 16 degrees and the high was 17. Barometer is down to 1012 mBar.

    Morning.

    Thursday judging by the racket the recycling engineers made.

    Dry.

    Grey.

    Wanly sunny.

    Chilly in here at 16.9 deg, 18 deg in the kitchen, 16.5 deg in the leanto.

    1008 mBar, 29.766223 in Hg, 756.06 Torr, 14.619 psi, (down from 1015 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 9th of October 2019 some chap turned up & started washing the front windows when he should have been doing that two doors up, (sudden flash of memory of ladies back in the long ago when sash windows were a thing, sitting on the upstairs windowsill cleaning the outside of the windows), whereas NF had sausages in finger rolls for lunch & his ears had come out in a rash due to the cleanser stuff on his earbuds.

    Raining.

    Freecell score: 100% (of 25), running average: 86%. Seemed to be in the zone today.

    Lunch: beans on toast etc.

    Entertainment: that bottom line thing again, Sliced Bread about ultrasonic repellent devices.

    Veronica Mars S3 E9 "Spit & Eggs". The end of the rapist arc.

    Tea: soup etc.

    Entertainment: PM or Morse, decisions decisions.

    Dan Do (repeat).

    Thing about place names in Cardigan Bay. Portmeirion was visited without mentioning The Prisoner. .
