    Tea has been steak & Hobgoblin stout pie out of the freezer, with chips

    And lunch was the last of the Chinese leftover chow mein, quickly stir fried with a bit of extra soy

    Rain can be seen approaching on the radar, due to arrive very soon and continue through the night and, it appears, right the way through tomorrow as well

    Morning.

    Tuesday.

    Woke at 06:15. Gave up. Got up. Played Freecell. Crap. Gave up.

    Dry.

    Sunny.

    Blue sky.

    Cool in here at 18.8 deg, 19.5 in the kitchen, 18 deg in the leatto.

    1006 mBar, 29.707 in Hg, 754.56 Torr, 14.59 psi, (down from 1010 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 73% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 30th of September 2019 WTFH got wet on the way home from the pub, NF had ribs & chips for tea, and I watched yet more Jeremiah with a side helping of "The Contractor" with that Wesley Snipes, Lena Headey, and Charles Dance.

    Today's enterprise was killing the black mould on the ceiling above the cooker, moving said cooker & cleaning behind & beside it, removing the shelves & pots & pans & washing everything, then forgetting how it all goes back. Even tightened the fixing screws on the top shelf so it doesn't sag any more. (Said shelves are of the "floating" variety. .

    Lunch: baked spud etc. Need to eat more spuds before they start growing roots.

    Entertainment: TWATO. <click> The thing about those nice CCP people.

    Walk (abbreviated) walked in the sunshine. No jacket. Shirt sleeves.

    Entertainment: Veronica Mars S2 E14 "Versatile Toppings": the gay blackmail one.

    Saltinghouse floor mopped out, the water went black. Dunno when I did it last.

    Tea: chicken breast, sausage, bacon: that's my meat ration for the week. . Nice enough. Two of the sausage were "Dragon" and ram jam full of chilli.

    Entertainment: Thunder and lightning, very very frightening. It's rattling away up there like a good 'un. I've put the light on because it's gone very dark indeed.

    Scotland Yard: the one about the fake marriage bureau.

    Wait till you get long term insomnia. Been coping with it for a few years now, tried everything, all the tips on Google, online courses, expensive sound therapy machine, small fortunes on so called natural remedies in Holland & Barret. All cr**p.

    Morning all

    Dull and overcast. Rain expected at some point in the day but the timing keeps moving about. Currently 12 degrees with a high of 17 forecast. Barometer down to 1011 mBar.

    On my way into the office, waiting for a bus at H&H station.

    Gloomy, rainy morning out there so far and expected to carry on being grey, though the rain may stop soon before returning this evening. Only 10°C so far with a predicted high of 17°, and the barometers are down to 999/1007mB

    Tonight's viewing was S1E1 of Cold Case Investigators: Solving Britain’s Sex Crimes on iPlayer

    And later, I read some more of Atomic Accidents

    Wonder if my lustre will have returned tomorrow?

    Goodnight all
