Morning denizens

Much cloud, but in the form of ranks of little clumps, meaning most of the sky seems covered but there's enough by way of gaps for it to be relatively bright compared to recent mornings. Still on the cooler side though at 10°C with 14° as the expected high; the barometer are down a bit at 1017/1025mB

Last day before my ten day break!

[WTFH]

Morning all
Overcast and cool out, but a pleasant (if short) walk has been had. The walk was shortened by a message from a delivery driver saying he would be round at 7am. At 7:15, he messaged again to say it would be 7:40
Delivery has been made.

Having finished the plane crash programme, I did a bit of mucking around with Metal shader rendering

And then back to Ossian's Ride, where the adventure continues to be an odd mix of derring do and rather abstruse science

Thursday tomorrow!

Goodnight all

I didn't do any gin testing in the end. Just had water.

Dinner was a jacket potato with cheese and coleslaw.

Watched an episode of last year's Portrait Artist of the Year and read about some of the controversies about the programme format and lack of transparency regarding judging criteria.

Once again, an Amazon package was delivered to me today, but was nowhere to be found when I finally had time to go downstairs and look for it. And once again, it's appeared outside my flat door, unopened, some time between eight and nine in the evening

It seems unlikely that they were delivered to the wrong flat or flats, as on both occasions they wouldn't fit through the letterbox

Tea has been a pork cutlet with chips and beans

And I'm watching Why Planes Crash on iPlayer. The answer mainly seems to be "because they hit things" as so far we've had a Korean plane brought down by a bird strike, some stuff about Sully and the Hudson landing, and the plane that a Black Hawk flew into in Washington earlier this year

Laundry didn't get put away in the end. I actually was busy with work, would you believe.

Many things ticked off the to-do list.

Waitrose delivered half an hour before the booked slot.

I think it's time to clock off and test the gin is still ok.

So many meetings today!

It's sprint end/start though, so what can you expect?

Lunch was a sausage roll - the last of the ones I baked a little while ago, defrosted overnight in the fridge then reheated in the air fryer so the pastry wasn't flabby

[WTFH]

Yesterday I got my first of six B12 jabs that my doctor prescribed over this and next week. The person doing the stabbing said it'll revert to three monthly once this initial boost is done.

B12? You need to drink more Guinness.
7 pints of Guinness contains more than the RDA of B12.

Overcast again. Currently 12 degrees with a high of 14 expected. Barometer remains at 1030 mBar.

Sunrise 07:26; Sunset 18:08 BST

Yesterday I got my first of six B12 jabs that my doctor prescribed over this and next week. The person doing the stabbing said it'll revert to three monthly once this initial boost is done.

Today is meetings. Nagging people. Working through my to-do list.

The bed linen that was laundered yesterday seems to have dried nicely overnight so that'll be one of many procrastination tasks that'll get done today.

Morning all
Off to the dentist shortly.

Last month the dentist said I needed 2 appointments with the hygienist and that I'd be getting numbed up for them.
Hygenist decided todo it all in one hit with no numbing.

Might go back to work next week, then again......................

Morning. .

Wednesday. .

Dry.

Grey.

Sunless.

Chilly in here at 17.5 deg, 16.5 in the kitchen, 15.5 in the leanto. .

1025 mBar, 30.27 in Hg, 768.8 Torr, 14.87 psi, (unchanged), 64% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 23rd of February 2020 BR14 and I watched Endeavour, and I watched Homeland, NF watched "The Killing". With subtitles of course.

I may have Done Too Much yesterday. . Should remember I'm not 50 any more. Mowing my lawn nearly killed me. Have updated my calendar so I know when I mowed the feckers last. Which wasn't in August. . Also the grass was dry, so I dread to think what it would have been like if it had been damp. The idle fecker's "useless grass" is, of course, 3 feet tall.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: "1929" on R4. Things are progressing well. Nearly reached "Buddy, can you spare a dime?". . Not quite at the stage of Joe Kennedy being offered stock advice by his shoeshine "boy".

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine. Can't say it was warm, but very pleasant.

Freecell score: 92%, running average: 84%.

Tea: battered cod/haddock. Nice enough.

Entertainment: PM. Bit of "Discovering Meryl Streep".

Book.

Scotland Yard. "The candlelight murder". More of the lugubrious Mr Lustgarten. This one's about some poor old hermit chap who gets himself offed. The two sovs one.

Nothing much else of innerest on the idiot lantern.

Book. Other book.

Looked at bits of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, including a bit I don't remember seeing before.

Now: the WWWC's avatar's Unexplained Mysteries of the Universe. It's Life, Jim, but not as we know it. .

Grey again, though not foggy at the moment. It's 9°C but only reaching 13° today, which seems to be what we can expect for the foreseeable future. No rain expected though, unlike next week when there's not just rain but lightning forecast! The barometers are dithering at 1019/1027mB
