Morning denizens

It’s rather grey, though there’s some blue sky to the north and west - I haven’t checked whether it's arriving or departing. There was a fair bit of rain off and on yesterday evening and maybe even overnight, and the air is still damp. Today’s expected to be mostly cloudy but brighter occasionally. It’s 7°C which “feels like” 4°, the expected high is 12°, and the barometers are up a bit at 995/1003mB

Morning.

Friday apparently.

Damp.

Blue sky in parts.

Wanly sunny.

Verging on chilly in here at 15.6 deg, 15 in the kitchen, 11 in the leanto.

1004.5 mBar, 29.663 in Hg, 753.4 Torr, 14.57 psi, (up from 1002.5 last night), 61% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 27th of March 2020 AndyGarbs, Brillo, BR14, LM, NF, openstrike, WTFH, and I popped in, with NF trundling the bins back in.

I finished reading XPD, in which - as predicted - nobody ended up getting what they wanted, except perhaps the head of MI6

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been sausages with chips and beans

I keep buying sausages to make a sausage casserole, then not feeling like sausage casserole when they need to be eaten

This was accompanied by the rest of last night’s Police Interceptors

Made it to Cádiz over an hour late thanks to late running trains. Now wondering if the train we've booked back next week needs to be changed to an earlier time.

[NickFitz]

Another week done!

Though I’ll log onto Teams briefly tomorrow afternoon, as there’s a short meeting to say farewell to the other dev

I was considering doing the shopping this evening but it’s Viz week which involves going to Big Sainsbury’s, so I think I’ll leave it till tomorrow morning

Old fart Majongy thing this morning. I came last for the seciod week running. GRUMP! Emailed a neighbour with a copy of a photo I took at village art exhibition because it looked so like her. Turned out it was, she posed for the artist but never received a copy. Printed one out and took it to her this morning. Portrait, not nude unfortunately.

Lunch has been Heinz tomato soup with toast

Quite sunny out, but there’s a lot of cloud and the trees are shimmying a lot

Morning all, Sevilla calling, local time 10:26

Sunny with fluff. Currently 19 degrees ('feels like' 21) with a high of 26 expected . Barometer at 1014 mBar

Sunrise 07:16; Sunset 21:25 CEST

Our journey yesterday was uneventful despite some delays leaving CDG. Our hotel is in a good location and the breakfast is proving helpful at soaking up the wine, sherry and gin consumed last night. HWMBO was served the hugest measure of brandy after dinner because the bottle was close to being finished. Dinner was absolutely superb with such good service, I left a tip.

This afternoon we take the train to Cádiz.

[WTFH]

Morning all 5:30 dog walk dodged the showers, then when we got back in I moved the 14 shed roof panels down the garden in preparation for them to go on tonight, if I get the last two trusses built.

Ready for a rest.

It’s cloudy but with some blue patches towards the west, and there seems to have been more rain overnight. It’s expected to stay cloudy all day, and the breeze must persist as the current 6°C “feels like” 3°; the day’s high will be 12°. The barometers are steady at 990/998mB

Morning.

Thursday apparently.

Damp.

Grey.

Hints of blue sky.

Sunless.

Cooler still in here at 16 deg, 15 in the kitchen, 13 in the leanto.

1001 mBar, 29.56 in Hg, 750.8 Torr, 14.52 psi, (unchanged), 62% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 27th of March 2020 openstrike, LM, and NF popped in, as did I, whereas eek popped in a lot on a bug hunt and my purchasing mistake of gluten free wheat free spag was unpleasantly unpleasant and totally free of any taste whatsoever.

Sleep, such as it was, proved to be intermittent, but a weird dream managed to slip in there just before waking.

The Knee is proving impervious to drugs, which is irritating.

Raining.

Sun's out.

Doze taken whilst "listening" to something on R4 about The Sahara. Followed by something about something else.

Mug of coffee.

Raining.

Entertainment: WWI in numbers. Gosh. Closer run thing than I'd realised. . Septics getting their arses kicked initially due to disregarding advice from those who'd been fighting for 3.5 years.

"Hitler's Silver Arrows": the evolution of the Mercedes and Autounion Grand Prix cars.

Sunny.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Scamwatch. Sliced Bread: kitty litter. <click>.

Book. Other book. Another other book.

Freecell score: box comes up with NTLDR error which is odd since it's Win98. . Reboot twice and: 100%, running average: 84%.

Tea: bean on toast etc. Entertainment: the R4 science thing about Neanderthal dentistry. . PM. <click> The Briefing Room waffling on about All the things that have happened since the programme started 10 years ago. Trump twice. . Brexit. . Covid. . 6 or so PMs. .

Sky Arts: Classic Movies: "Chaplin (1992)".

Blazian Bollox: Ancient Aliens: volcanoes and UFOs

True Crime: Britain's almost perfect murders: Finished last week.

Sky Arts: "Chaplin (1992)". John Thaw's last film apparently.

This evening’s viewing was a bit of a new Police Interceptors

And later I read more of XPD but didn’t quite get to the end. British, American, and Russian intelligence are all treading on each other’s toes, and I daresay it’ll end up being a fiasco for all of them

Thursday tomorrow!

But it’s also my last day working with the other dev

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea: pork cutlet with chips and beans

The weather’s been very changeable today, including a thunderstorm this afternoon! It seems to be turning reasonably pleasant out there now though

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a corned beef butty

This made use of the white load baked last night, which turned out really well

Heavy rain for a bit this morning, and it remains changeable out there. It brightened up for a couple of minutes just now, then immediately went back to very gloomy
