    Day of the Chickens today: lunch was a cold chicken leg, and tea has been chicken in red wine sauce with chips and peas

    To go along with this, a very tangled tale of murder in LA in the Netflix homicide series

    chrome was 405 for me most of saturday (or was it friday?), then it worked again.

    That’s odd - for some reason, my laptop had switched to the 4G backup wi-fi. Switched back to the proper one and it’s fine

    Another old fart meet up at a posh local house this afternoon. Probably just messing about with some more fencing this morning.

    Morning all

    Overcast. Damp. Misty type rain that gets you properly wet. Currently 19 degrees ('feels like' 24, I disagree) with a high of 21 expected. No idea if the rain will continue as the weather app doesn't know it's currently happening. Barometer down to 1018 mBar.

    Sunrise 06:25; Sunset 19:34 BST

    Easy billing morning - sitting in on a monthly meeting, no input needed. Taking Mum to the opticians this afternoon.

    Morning.

    Monday.

    Damply damp.

    Grey.

    Sunless.

    Dreary.

    Glad I did the washing yesterday.

    21 deg in here, 21.7 in the kitchen,20 in the leanto, 18 out the back.

    1010 mBar, 29.83 in Hg, 757.6 Torr, 14.65 psi, (up from 1009 last night), 70% RH (Lidl electric).

    Jack Hargreaves Old Country: mobile sheep dip using cooper flydip bhc, which, it turns out, is Lindane, now banned. "Turnouts" as in horse & carriage/pony & trap etc. Battlesden Carts (of which he has two). The reason why The Brougham carriage was always black: if it wasn't black it wasn't allowed into Buck House following the demise of Albert, everything being black for the next 40 years or so.

    Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Thing on R4 about autism & ADHD. Probly applies to a fair few of the assembled congregation. .

    Dashcam bollox.

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

    Jack Hargreaves Old Country. I wonder if those sheep dipping chaps had problems in later life.

    Tea: chilli con carne etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM. Blazian UFO bollox: Zamora UFO incident. German UFO incident or how disco lights can make circular holes in clouds. .

    Bab5 S3 E21 "Shadow Dancing".

    Maigret (Cremer) and the old lady. The one with the dead maid.

    Morning denizens

    It’s a sunny start with a scattering of clouds, and last night’s wind has dropped, though there’s still a breeze. It’s getting cooler: currently 15°C but the day’s high will only be 20°, and it’ll mostly stay below that for the rest of the week. It’s likely to rain tonight, too. The barometers are down some more at 1003/1010mB

    Tonight in Pixie, her artistic career is looking up after several years of struggle, with an exhibition of her “music paintings” (she had synæsthesia so would listen to music and draw the visions it evoked) selling well at Stieglitz’s gallery in New York

    Very windy out there tonight. Are the equinoctial gales coming early this year?

    Monday again tomorrow. At least I’ve got some vaguely interesting stuff to muck around with

    Goodnight all

    Lunch earlier was some leftover crispy duck. And tea has been ribs and chips

    This was accompanied by a new episode of 24 Hours in A&E which I noticed had quietly sidled onto All4 when it thought nobody was looking

    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.
