A total of 10 dumpy bags of garden waste/logs have been taken to the tip, along with a few normal sized bags.

Went to club and spent time chatting with my neighbour. Glad we don't have the enmity we used to over property stuff.

Morning all
Sunny. Blue sky with cloud that looks like pebbles. Currently 21 degrees ('feels like' 24) and that's the high for the day. Barometer at 1022 mBar.
Sunrise 06:23; Sunset 19:36 BST
Rubbish sleep. Woke around 3 am and dozed off and on for several hours. This morning the local fun run went past and enthusiastic people were cheering the runners along.
In helping Mum find a comb, I found a pot of yoghurt in her dressing table drawer. No idea how long that had been there so into the bin it went.

Morning denizens
Not so much cloud today and what there is is high and wispy, which I believe presages a change in the weather. It’s mild at 16°C and expected to soar to 24°, with the barometers down a little at 1009/1017mB
The coming week will be cooler though, with rain likely to return

3 trips done yesterday - 2 in the morning and one just before they closed. Might have to do a run today as well. It’s amazing how much extra garden waste you generate when you put a new chain on a saw.Originally posted by WTFH View PostMorning all
Trip to the tip later, our gardener filled 4 dumpy bags with prunings yesterday. Will make my first trip this morning and see what the queue is like. Second trip might be straight after, or saved for tomorrow.

Morning.
Sunday.
Damp after overnight rain.
Wanly sunny.
Blue sky in parts, not so blue in other parts.
19.7 deg in here, 20.2 in the kitchen, 18 in the leanto, 15 out the back.
1013.5 mBar, 29.93 in Hg, 760.2 Torr, 14.6995 psi, (untapped, but dropped from 1015 when tapped), 66% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 3rd of April 2020, between 21:02 and 21:49 Brillo posted A Lot, with scruff and NF getting a post in edgeways.
Washing frenzy in progress: 16.8 deg in the salting house. Time will tell if this was a Good Idea.
Cartrefi Cymru: EcoHouses: starts off the CAT in Machynlleth: the first house they built had 450mm of fibreglass insulation and proved too hot to live in, the 2nd one was more reasonable, built to the designs of a German chap: it's on stilts to avoid damp from the ground, of which there, of course, rather a lot in Wales. A chap & chapesse who built one in 1992 to look like a barn conversion: even has a tracking solar power thingie for that extra 20% of output when it's not raining. Plus a more recent one. Last ep.
Lunch: brunch.
Entertainment: Dashcam bollox: S2 E3, E4.
Shirts & cottons in off the line & duly met the iRon, now airing upstairs. Even washed my daytime in house jeans, and some scarfs ready for the winter.
Entertainment: Archive Hour (2009): the lost eps of Doctor Who.
Walk (much abbreviated) walked in the warm sunshine. Phew wot a scorcher.
Tea: beans on toast etc. Entertainment:

Tonight in Pixie, Ms Smith has achieved great popularity among the theatre people - so much so that actress Florence Farr invited her to be initiated into the Order of the Golden Dawn. I wasn’t previously aware that at this time (it’s 1901), A. E. Waite was manager of a Horlicks factory. But I don’t suppose he would have been able to make a living solely from his (frankly rather turgid) books about esoteric matters
Goodnight all

Tea was brought to me from the Chinese restaurant in town. Their food's only average TBH, but I had an £8 voucher that needed to be used by Monday

Tedious drive down to Sussex-by-the-Sea.
My brother has gone off on his holiday.
The printer has been set up on the PC. Of course the "HP App" that HP say has to be installed via the Microsoft Store is a load of crap and I had to hunt down the old fashioned software so enable the scanner functionality.
It's all a bit slow but useable.

Afternoon denizens
Many large clumps of cumuli about making it mostly cloudy, but with a good number of gaps to let occasional sunshine through; and no rain. It’s reached today’s high of 19°C, and the barometers are resurgent at 1012/1019mB

I don't know whats up with the forum, unless the squeaking buttocks of the tax dodgers threads are upsetting it somehow.

Haven't been able to access these hallowed fora since sometime.yesterday, getting a 403 error. I ended up having to try with Chrome instead of Firefox. I very much dislike Chrome.
Down to Mum's today to stay with her for a week while my brother takes advantage of a nearly free holiday in Spain.
