Morning all
Gloriously sunny morning with only a few wisps and chemtrails breaking up the blue. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 14 expected. There might be some rain in the wee hours overnight. Barometer up to 1022 mBar.
Just having a cuppa before heading down to see Mum. Apparently on Friday she turned the heating thermostat down and then complained the radiators weren't getting hot. My brother put the thermostat back up and she's now back in tropical levels of warmth.

Sunny day out and expected to continue thus, though getting dark an hour earlier according to the arbitrary and capricious temporal labelling conventions presently in use. The open skies are letting the heat escape though: currently 8°C and only reaching 13°. The barometers are up a chunk at 1010/1018mB

Today's entertainment was the usual Monkey Life plus other wildlife stuff. It's all kicking off between the various otter clans of Singapore
And I've read a few more chapters of Falling. Some good twists in the tale
Early night plus the clocks going back means I can have a lie in and still be up in time for tomorrow's early Monkey Life session
Goodnight all

Tea was brought to me from KFC
The additional stuff from the perennial special offers means I'll probably be eating the leftovers for a couple of days

With The Wife away, this morning Max and I went for a walk. Came back in, hung up the washing and went for a walk.
Walked 6km to a hostelry, consumed some of the guest ale (Exeter Avocet), then walked back home.

No idea what's happened to get them riled up, but neither the squirrel nor the crows seem willing to back down. It's been going on for about ten minutes now

Luch was half of Pizza I brought home from restaurant in doggy bag. No way I could eat all that, it was supposed to be a lite portion. Sister ordered kid's portion of fish and chips and the fish looked like a beached whale. No wonder so many people are obese!

A cloudy day, though tending more towards fluffiness with tiny bits of blue here and there than a blank grey sheet. Mild enough at 13°C with 15° due later, and the barometers are back up a little at 1004/1012mB

Morning all
Overcast and looks a bit damp out. Currently 11 degrees with a high of 14 expected. No rain forecast but I'm sceptical. Barometer up to 1016 mBar.
Yesterday afternoon, HWMBO's youngest arrived for an overnight stay. I made bacon and mushroom risotto and roast poussin for dinner. I cooked a chook each but we ended up only having half each of one.
I'm off to the Saturday Farmers' Market in a minute as I've not been there for a while. Then I need to wake up the urchin so they don't oversleep and miss their train.

Morning.
Saturday.
Dry.
Sun coming up like thunder.
Blue sky.
Chilly in here at 16.5 deg, 16.5 in the kitchen, 14 deg in the leanto, 9.6 deg in the saltinghouse.
1011 mBar, 29.855 in Hg, 758.3 Torr, 14.6633 psi, (up from 1010 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).
Shirts in the WM.
Meanwhile on the 24th of November 2019 NF was watching yet more of "The Wire" . whereas I was in the library where those unfortunates requiring Universal Credit were being entertained by someone teaching them how to search for jobs on the interweb. It was painful.
Shirts out of the WM and pegged out on the line.
Smalls in the WM.

Cottons out of the WM & pegged out on the line.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine. Even had a conversation with a chap.
Lunch: there was brunch since I no longer have breakfast.
Shirts in off the line & roughly iRoned: airing upstairs.
Some mild strimming done of the grass & weeds.
Discovered that the accursed honeyfeckingsuckle has roots spreading under the lawn which explains how it reached the compost heap.
Looks like I'll have to get seriously serious about it next year.
Tea: soup etc.
Entertainment: bits of the obnoxious Robinson chap talking to one of the contenders for Tory leadership. She seemed less obnoxious than he.
Entertainment: bits of Ancient Aliens bollox until I couldn't stand it any more, then the last 10 minutes of a documentary on PBS involving dear old Wernher and Operation Paperclip.
Book.
Bored with that one.
Other book.
Bored with that one.
Will to live: lost.
Clocks going back, so it's not 21:56 but 20:56. Fecking endless.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Yesterday, 20:57.
