Morning all
Was very misty in the valley when we headed out at 6am, but we stayed above the mist, which has now completely burned off. Looks like it's going to be a warm one.
9.something km walked, 11k steps

Foggy start this morning, which isn't what I was expecting
The fog will presumably clear but it's expected to remain cloudy, and the rain is due from lunchtime and on into the night. Currently 11°C and not expected to get any higher than 15°; the barometers are up a little though, at 994/1002mB

Tonight's only viewing was an old Police Interceptors to go with the pie and chips
Other than that and a little light stalking, I mainly read silly nonsense online
Goodnight all

Work wise, the day was a bit meh.

Wasn't that Zeity chap ever so pleased when you posted a streetview of his office on here? .

Another day, another person tweeting a photo of the view from their window which leads to me identifying exactly where they live from ten minutes of poking around on Wikipedia and Google Maps

More rain this afternoon but it cleared up, so to Big Sainsbury's I did go. Turns out it's even quieter there early Wednesday evening than it is at the same time on Thursday
And home via the VAT fraud chip shop where I got a chicken and mushroom pie and chips for tea - a Pukka Pie, of course, as while they may not have been averse to fiddling their tax return in the past, they've never been known to provide their customers with anything less than the best
Nice evening now, though I gather it won't last

Lunch: roast beef butty (wholemeal)
Still quite gloomy out, though the supposed light showers aren't making an impression and may be a figment of the weather app's imagination
Apparently tomorrow afternoon and evening is expected to be a bit damper, so I'm thinking of going shopping tonight while it's still reasonably dry.
Mundane laundry has been done and is nearly dry

Slept in, looked out the bedroom window and it looked like it was going to be a good day. Got to the back door and decided I needed to take a coat.
Due to the later start, we only managed just over 6km, but it remained dry the whole way, and still is.

Cloudy with grey flecks but the sun is making a valiant effort at breaking through. Ground slightly damp from early morning rain but no further precipitation forecast. Currently 16 degrees with a high of 19 expected. Barometer up to 1006 mBar.
On site today.

Morning.
Wednesday.
Dry.
Wanly sunny.
Blue sky in parts.
Cool in here at 18.3 deg, 19 deg in the kitchen, 17.5 deg in the leanto, 15 deg in the saltinghouse.
997.5 mBar, 29.456 in Hg, 748.18 Torr, 14.4675 psi, (up from 992 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 74% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 28th of September 2019 WTFH had to cut the grass twice since it was too long to have cut it once, the idle fecker next door had allowed his grass to grow to a length that it needed strimming before meeting the lawn mower, I was still reading "A bright shining lie" with a mere 680 pages to go, plus watching three eps of "Jeremiah", one of which I totally failed to recall, followed by something about Michael Jagger & his beat combo, thence to World War Weird and all that involves (more bollox mostly), though Operation Mincemeat did get a lookin.
Shirts & smalls in the WM.
Shirts & smalls out of the WM & pegged out on the line.
The weather prognosticator had implied a small chance of precipitation but looking at those clouds I'd put it down as a certainty.
I was wrong on that: Shirts in off the line & roughly iRoned.
Smalls in off the line & airing upstairs just like the shirts.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine and bracing wind.
Lunch: scrambled egg etc.
Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about Chinese bogus companies registered at UK residents addresses.
TWATO <click>
Veronica Mars S2 E10 "One angry Veronica": she's got jury duty. At 18. Can't buy an alcoholic drink legally but can serve on a jury.
Tea: chilli con carne etc.
Entertainment: not much on this evening.
Prof. Alice Roberts Digging up chunks of Britain.
The Human Jungle S1 E1 "The Vacant Chair (1963)" with that Herbert Lom chap. MD drops dead at a board meeting, our hero must help in the selection of the next chap for the role. Geoffrey Palmer in an early role.
Secrets and Spies E2 on BBC2.
Secrets of the Nazi Uboat Bases, including the Lorient one that features in "A legacy of spies". .
The unanswered question is, of course, quite why the Nazi concrete was and is so superior to the crap we used around the same time.

Grey start with traces of some recent rain lingering. Not much more of that expected, though it might be a bit breezy. Currently 13°C with a predicted high of 18°, and the barometers are up a little at 992/1000mB

First on the box tonight was an old Police Interceptors
And then the final part of Secrets and Spies - or is it? Aldrich Ames still hadn't been caught by the end, and it finished with "The story continues…" so maybe there's another series, or more of this one that hasn't been on yet? Who knows
I also read a chunk of a recently-published ebook about some of the less well-known features of Swift, all of which seem as if they might come in handy at some point
Early night now, as the morning light will probably wake me up early anyway
Goodnight all

Chicken and chips for tea
It's shaping up to be a rather chickeny week, as I'm finding a fair amount of various forms of it in the freezers, and I'm in the process of using up as much out of them as possible so I can sort out a good system for getting by with only the fridge-freezer in the kitchen
