Morning denizens

Some mackerel sky out, along with some slightly thicker cloud, meaning it’s not quite sunny and probably won’t be. It’s 16°C and intends to get to 25°, with the barometers down to 1015/1023mB. It was getting quite breezy last night, but this has dropped off a bit

Apparently the haze yesterday morning was smoke from the fires in North America

Tonight’s viewing was Murder 24/7 on iPlayer, about a bloke who stabbed his wife. Well, he insists he didn’t, and it’s a two-parter so that’s as far as they’d got; but he blew it right at the start of his interview by giving an account that was completely different in every respect to what he’d said when he dialled 999, and had then said again to the first police officers to arrive on the scene, recorded by their bodycams. I mean, it wasn’t just a few details, it was every single thing!

And later, I finished One Two Three Four

I wonder if the department will have the same name in the morning? Last time, we had to wait a few days for the Cabinet Office to decide what the acronym should be, so there’s still a chance they might change it to something snappier

Goodnight all

Tea has been Barnsley chops with chips and beans

I got those chops off the market back when the car was having its MOT, so they’ve been in the freezer since then. Very nice, they were

Pesto has been made.

It didn't make quite as much as I thought, by the time I'd pounded all the ingredients together. But there's definitely enough for several portions of pasta.

Ham toasties for lunch

[NickFitz]

I sat down to work this morning only to find that it had been abolished and there was a new department with a similar name in its place

It’s the second time that’s happened since I started there!

Om!

But before then, there is a small matter of...

I have a glut of basil so will be making lots of pesto this afternoon.

Meanwhile on the 1st of April 2020 Brillo, eek, LM, MrMarkyMark, NF and vetran popped in, LM having managed to purchase some flowers & some "cookies", these last being "Pistachio and Almond" apparently.

Washing frenzy in progress. Shirts were dry after 30 mins.

Shopping trip to Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away. 204 out, 38 back.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Rebecca Stott waffling on about Mud.

Forgot all about Classic Movies.

That requiring the iRon has received its attention & is duly airing upstairs.

Entertainment: Stella Rimington in the BBC Archives ferreting about for The Cambridge Spies.

Them were the days. Peter Wright had mention: she wasn't overly impressed. .

Jack Hargreaves Old Country: how those damn immigrant Saes named their holdings along streams & such like: Tarrant Gunville to Tarrant Crawford, all along the "river" (chalk stream) Tarrant. Side horses and cock horses.

Tea: soup etc. Entertainment: PM <click> More lying politicos. UFO bollox on Blaze: it's more believable. .

Bab5 S2 E9 "The coming of shadows". The Centauri Emperor turns up. No good shall come of this. .

Secrets of the Transport Museum: changing the spark plugs on a Railton Napier W12 engine. It's got a lot of spark plugs: 24. And they appeared to be Champion branded.

Titans of the Cold War: LBJ (how many kids did you kill today?) and Ho Chi Minh. Just as well the Orange Mother****er had bonespurs.

Morning denizens

High, hazy cloud is gradually thickening, so it’s expected to be more cloudy than sunny today. It’s 15°C with an expected high of 25° this afternoon, and the barometers are up a tad more at 1017/1025mB

Feeling very tired again today. If the surgery don’t get in touch, I think I’m just going to stop taking this stuff anyway. They virtually admitted when they prescribed it that it wasn’t really needed, but argued that it might help some number go a little bit further in the direction it’s “supposed” to go, even though it’s perfectly fine where it is

[WTFH]

Morning all
CBS, etc, and another cooler walk at 05:30. Builders arrived before we were back. Should be finished today.

Casting around for something to watch this evening, I remembered that Air Crash Investigation is on Prime (albeit under a different title) so I watched the episode about USAir Flight 1493 which landed on top of SkyWest Airlines Flight 5569 at LA International in 1991, due to a moment of forgetfulness on the part of an overworked flight controller

Later, I read more of One Two Three Four

Goodnight all
