    Evening all, Paris calling

    Dry and sunny on arrival, with the just just setting as we landed. Currently 8 degrees and the high was 12. Barometer at 1022 mBar.

    Sunrise 07:32; Sunset 18:33 CET

    Had a lovely morning mooching around Krakow, before starting our journey home. The sun came out and it was a glorious day. We will be getting on our last flight of the weekend, back to London, in about half an hour. I'm a bit tired now.

    I get some wierd dreams. Last night was about a lot of us doing something with the cooling systems on our cars which were connected to the mains supply. Bit of a flaw with that.

    Not sure I'll go to village club later, people I know don't seem to be there recently. Heard one was ill but dunno about others. Perhaps just look through window and see.

    This morning’s forum wrangling has been the tags import, as for whatever reason that step runs between threads, which I got working on Friday, and posts. It wasn’t a particularly complicated one though

    Time for lunch: a leftover pork chop in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

    I’m not sure whether to tackle importing posts this afternoon; it’s going to be quite a big one as it’s spread over several steps, so it might be better to approach it when I have a whole day to spend on it

    Morning all

    Sunny with fluff. Currently 10 degrees ('feels like' 8) with a high of 13 expected. Barometer up to 1026 mBar.

    Sunrise 06:24; Sunset 17:22 CET

    Having breakfast before deciding what to do with our morning in Krakow. The old town is very easy to walk around so I expect we'll do some mooching about before finding a spot for lunch.

    Morning denizens

    It’s a sunny day with a mainly blue sky to welcome in March. There’s some high, thin stuff and mare’s tails towards the east, but it’s all clear to the west. It felt a little chilly when I poked my head out of the window though, and apparently it’s 8°C but “feels like” 2° - or maybe will feel like that once the wind increases later, as it isn’t very gusty right now? Though by then we can expect to have reached the day’s high of 12°. The barometers are down a little after yesterday’s surge, at 1001/1009mB

    Lots of wildlife stuff on the box today, as usual

    This evening, I started reading The Third Reich: A New History by Michael Burleigh (published in 2000, so not actually new any more). It seems to take an interesting approach to the subject, but I’ll probably read it a bit at a time as it’s nearly a thousand pages long!

    Goodnight all

    Evening all, greetings from Krakow

    Dry and bright when we arrived. Currently 4 degrees and the high was 14. Barometer at 1023 mBar.

    HWMBO and I had a very pleasant dinner at a local restaurant. Absolutely stuffed and much appreciated the 10 minute walk back to our hotel in the cool air afterwards.

    It was. And sadkingbilly is right. It's a cacophony. That's why I like it - utter chaos.

    But a guy had a heart attack just after it all started at 4am on monday. A young lad I know was right next to him and looked after him until the ambulance arrived. Even with the crowds, it only took ten minutes. The local cops posted about it on facebook and I asked how it went - turns out the guy had a full recovery. So that was nice.

    I fancied a burger for tea tonight, but Five Guys in town unexpectedly shut down late last year - it was just a few days after I last ordered from there, I think. There’s another one, but it’s right across the other side of the city on the outer ring road. So I decided to give Burger King a try. It was perfectly OK, though nothing special, and they don’t go mad with the fries the way Five Guys do

    I though that one was good - a lot better than some of the other disowned ones

    Afternoon denizens

    It’s cloudy with gaps allowing for sunny spells out, and drying after a very rainy night. There’s a bit of a breeze again, so the current 8°C (which is also the high for the day) “feels like” 3°. The barometers are optimistic though, being up to 1005/1013mB
