Morning all

Dull and overcast, although it has brightened up over the course of the morning. Currently 22 degrees ('feels like' 24) with a high of 24 expected. There may be a light shower this afternoon. Barometer up to 1023 mBar.

Sunrise 06:34; Sunset 19:18 BST

This morning's act of presenteeism has been performed. Now back to job hunting. I might do that cleaning I've been avoiding too, seeing as I don't have any work to avoid doing.

Morning denizens

Once again I drifted back to sleep for a while after the alarm. I really must try this “getting to sleep earlier” thing

It’s a cloudy day and looks like there’s been some rain, or maybe just drizzle, overnight. Patches of blue here and there though, so maybe it’ll clear later. It’s still mild at 18°C with an expected high of 23°, and the wind seems to have eased off a bit; the barometers are steady at 1009/1017mB

Morning all
Overcast and very humid out, but dry on the walk.
We slept in this morning and didn't get up until after 6am.

Morning.

Monday apparently.

Wet.

Dark.

Dank.

Dreary.

Drizzly.

Sunless.

19.7 deg in here, 20.7 in the kitchen, 19 in the leanto, 18 out the back.

1014.8 mBar, 29.97 in Hg, 761.2 Torr, 14.72 psi, (down from 1015 last night), 74% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 4th of April 2020, between 15:56 and 16:02, in popped AndyGarbs, and Brillo, with LM getting a post in edgeways.

Well it must be said that the weather forecast, 7 days hourly, I consulted last night didn't include the current inclemency at all. It's rather put my intended washing frenzy on hold.

Entertainment: Jack Hargreaves Old Country: popping across to Normandy for a sporting dog sale, and fishing for gudgeon in the river Nadder in Wiltshire. Gudgeon tansy. Never heard of that before. And a large gudgeon is about 1lb. Dunno why I feel so sorry for these fish.

Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away. It rained on me all the way there & all the way back, though not as heavily as it did shortly before I went out through the back door. . For which, much thanks.

Lunch: brunch.

Entertainment: Dashcam bollox S3 E1: watched it recently <click>.

Look at Life: "Rendered Safe (1962)": EOD back in the 1960s. Feck me they're brave men. None of the magic suits they wear these days, it's Navy/Army uniforms, collar & tie.

Today’s wildlife programming was shorter than usual, because they put women’s football on. I assume it isn’t allowed on the sports channel you’d expect them to use for that kind of thing

Later, an episode of Emergency 24/7 on iPlayer

And tonight’s reading was Their Finest Hour and a Half by Lissa Evans, which is the book on which the film Their Finest with Gemma Arterton and Bill Nighy is based. I enjoyed the film when I watched it a few years ago, and the book is very good

Monday again tomorrow. I think I’m going to book some time off in October, because otherwise it’s an endless sea of Mondays until Christmas

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been lamb chops with chips and beans

Lunch didn’t really happen, unless a bag of BBQ Hula Hoops counts

But I did get the mundane laundry done!

[ladymuck]

Laundry done. Cleaning not done. I might do it tomorrow.

[xoggoth]

Quite nice volunteery morning, son's lunch afterwards was ok except a bit too oniony. A picture of me is online again in a local community magazine. I only volunteered there once.

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

Grey and drizzly out there this morning. It continues to be mild though, already up to 19°C and expected to reach 22°. The barometers are up a little at 1009/1017mB

[xoggoth]

Nice fete thing yesterday afternoon with couple younger ladies, then pub after with one of them. Not felt so alive in ages. Off to nature reserve volunteer thing soon.

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Dull, overcast, damp. Currently 18 degrees with a high of 22 expected. Light rain forecast off and on for most of the day. Barometer down to 1021 mBar.

Sunrise 06:33; Sunset 19:21 BST

No plans for the day. There's laundry and some cleaning that could be done. Otherwise, not much else to worry about.

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning.

Sunday.

Wet.

Grey.

Sunless.

Cooler in here at 19.4 deg, 19.9 in the kitchen, 19 in the leanto, 18 out the back.

1015 mBar, 29.97 in Hg, 761.3 Torr, 14.72 psi, (unchanged), 71% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 4th of April 2020, between 15:50 and 15:55 , in popped Brillo a lot, with LM and NF getting posts in edgeways.

Despite the drizzle walk (abbreviated, towpath, 3 miles) walked. Nice enough. The M&S "waterproof" shoes lived up to their designation again & leaked.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: dunno yet: The Cows are Mad (& now the deer are too) on iplayer from 2023.

Tweet of the day: Yellowhammer. Sandwich tern. Common buzzard. Osprey. Turtle dove.

Dashcam bollox: S2 E5, S3 E1 (the latter of which I've watched before).

Tea: beans on toast with scrambled egg. Nice enough. Entertainment: the thing about ADHD and autism again, well 15 minutes of it before it went <click>.

Book.

Oak Island nutjobbery. Or not: it started at 18:00 not 19:00 so the last 5 minutes was more than enough of that crap: filler ep. The actual bollox starts next week at 18:05 for a mere 1 hour & 55 minutes of bollox.

Today brought Monkey Life along with some other wildlife stuff, including Australians whose job is going into people’s houses to remove snakes, which had me wondering why on earth anybody lives in Australia

Tonight, I finished reading Dawn. Not sure if I’ll move straight on to the second part of the trilogy, or read something else in between

Goodnight all
