Following NF's discovery of a 7th rasher I thought I'd check to see how many were left in the packet bought from the farmers' market. I too had 7 rashers! Only three left now which will make for a well stacked sandwich.
After me morning walky went to a local pub and sat in garden gnoshing a cheese toasty. Very fat topless bloke sitting nearby with jeans way down showing me his bum crack. Why is it always blokes who do that??

A somewhat busy morning delayed me, but I managed a lunchtime dash to the closer Sainsbury's for various bits. That one doesn't have a hot food counter, so lunch instead has been a cold chicken leg and a bag of plain crisps. I do like a bit of cold roast chicken in warm weather
Tonight's viewing was The Body Detectives on C4, in which they investigate cold cases of missing people and unidentified bodies. This one was about a chap who was lost to the sea during a trip to the seaside in 1984, and they ended up exhuming a body that had been swept up on the coast of France ten days later and buried in the local cemetery. They actually showed the exhumation, which isn't something I've seen on telly before - French gravediggers scooping up handfuls of bones and dumping them in a new coffin to be taken to the lab
That sounds interesting, I'll give that a watch this evening
Bright and breezy with lumps of fluff scurrying across the sky. Currently 21 degrees with a high of 24 expected. No rain forecast. Barometer down a snifter to 1012 mbar.
The gardener finally got back to me yesterday and Mum is now booked in for Thursday next week.
Bonfire mostly consumed. It would appear there's much gardening to be done since I can only just get into the green house.
Dry.
Dampish.
Grey.
Sunless.
Cool in here at 20.4 deg, 22 deg in the kitchen, 19.5 in the leanto.
1009 mBar, 29.796 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.634 psi, (up from 1004.5 last night), 74% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 30th of October 2019 there was discussion of making rice pudding in the microwave, mundane washing, when the Rover P4 changed from Whitworth bolts to AF (whatever thread), the fairly mediocre BTVS "Beer Bad", WTFH was having a quiet day with the dog, his Mrs was off on a spa day, while LM was watching Lucy Worsley followed by a prog about weasles, whereas NF was watching something about Lehman Brothers.
Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.
Lunch: scrambled egg etc.
Entertainment: some twaddle on the Y&Y spot, TWATO, and the thing about asbestos in talc.
Shopping trip to Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.
Quite a sunny start but still very breezy after a blustery night. Already up to 16°C on its way to 23° while the barometers are down a bit at 998/1006mB
Friday!
And as I seem to have neglected to record the fact, yesterday's tea was chunky breaded cod with chips and beans, meaning it was quite a day for breaded fish products

Very grey out now, and there was some rain earlier. I'm in two minds whether to go shopping this evening or do it tomorrow. I'll probably leave it until tomorrow
Lunch was a chunky fish finger bap (wholemeal, red sauce)
So the call was a complete waste of time and I got rejected for a job I didn't actually apply for.
The company invited me to give feedback on their recruitment process (they are still actively advertising for all their open roles) and so I did just that
I doubt anything will change but I feel better for giving them my tuppence worth.
Sunny with lumps of fluff. Currently 19 degrees with a high of 21 expected. Cloudy cover set to increase with a small chance of a shower mid afternoon. Barometer up to 1013 mBar.
Caught up on 24 Hours in A&E and the C4 version of Surgeons yesterday. Not sure what I'll do today.
Drizzling with that very fine drizzle that's wetter than wet.

Meanwhile on the 30th of October 2019 NF related the story of the chap in Bristol going to work on a unicycle, whereas I went as far as the viewless point on the morning constitutional where there were Other People, WTFH had an informal interview with a chap he'd worked with previously, and NF did the mundane laundry.
Lunch: baked spud etc.
Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about sommat until I read a book for a change.
The thing about asbestos in talc at 13:45.
More book.
Decided to clean the box room & move all the book cases about & clean underneath: from the state of the place it's a while since I did that. One unfortunate spider ran about the place & then dropped dead. Feck me there's a lot of stuff in there & still more to do tomorrow.
