In The Peepshow, Christie has been hanged, and public opinion is shifting towards the view that Tim Evans was wrongly executed - to the dismay of the Conservative government, which seems to be more concerned that admitting a mistake might bolster support for abolition of the death penalty than it is with righting a miscarriage of justice

Tuesday tomorrow. Get through it and I'm halfway through the week

Goodnight all

Checked me netting is in place over pond to keep leaves out. Lovely little froggy sitting there.

Tea has been beef and Guinness stew

This was accompanied by E1 of Lucan which was very intriguing, having an angle on the case of the disappearing earl that I didn't expect

And before that, I found time to go for a walk

Greetings from the new Mac Mini!

It's really rather good! I've just got it hooked up to the telly at the moment, which is suboptimal as if I have the glasses on that let me see the screen, I can't see the keyboard, and vice versa. But I installed Xcode and cloned the Git repo for my thing that makes 3D rings of emojis, and it both compiles and launches noticeably faster

a letter for someone named Smithers

Send it to Matt Groening, he'll know.

[DoctorStrangelove]

Lunch: chicken, tomato and lentil soup with a bit of wholemeal

And in the morning post, a letter for the previous owner of the flat

She seems to have neglected to inform Carnforth Station Heritage Centre of her move. It's so easy to forget these things

I still get letters for the woman I bought the house off 26 years ago: from some septic god bothers in California.

And I get letters for her next door but two, but I like her so there's no problem.

And there was a letter for someone named Smithers that I returned "not known".

Plus the council tax demand for some oik who used to live by the chip shop, but I sorted that one with the council before the debt collectors started calling.

I clock off in about an hour to travel to the airport for a trip to Glasgow.

Bon voyage!

Afternoon all

There is blue sky and high level wispy fluff. Currently 12 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer up to 1031 mBar.

The Mac Mini has finally arrived!

Not that I have time to do anything with it right now; it'll have to stay in its box until this evening

Morning.

Monday.

Damp (it rained overnight).

Wanly sunny.

High cloud with blue bits rather than gloom gloom gloom.

Chilly in here at 15.5 deg, 15.5 deg in the kitchen, 14 deg in the leanto.

1032.5 mBar, 30.489 in Hg, 774.4 Torr, 14.975 psi, (up from 1026 last night). Don't think I've ever seen it that high before.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the chill of the morning.

Meanwhile on the 30th of November 2019 I was sat next to a mouth breathing moron in the library so buggered off for a walk instead, whereas NF delegated the duplicated post echo thingie, as pointed out by Brillo, to vBulletin. .

Lunch: brunch.

Entertainment: Y&Y <click>

Sun's out: bad finger prevents gardening.

House roughly vacced for the sake of something to do.

Freecell score: 86%, running average: 80%.

Tea: egg sandwiches etc. Just for a change like.

Entertainment: read book. read other book. Sorted through late mother's recipe collection for dear Niece.

Oak Island bollox: this week they still ain't found tulip. Who'd have thunk?

"Secrets in the Sand" more bollox on Blaze: glyph found in Oz: made by some septic or other using GPS rather than Ancient Alien Aborigines. .

[WTFH]

Morning all
A busy weekend clearing veg beds, planting garlic, re-planting a hydrangea we had grown from a cutting and planting some spring bulbs in the grass near the quince and apple trees.
Oh yes, and plating scrambled maps - after reading about it on here.

Back in the day, IIRC, a chap from my parents' church was questioned by the plod who thought he was Christie. Long Long Ago.

It seems that Christie-spotting was a popular activity across the UK for the few days he was being sought, with sightings reported from all over the place

Of course, he never actually got any further than Camden
