Tonight's viewing was Trauma Room 1 followed by one new and a couple of old episodes of 24 Hours in A&E. I seem to have reached the pandemic in the latter, judging by the masks and the complete lack of extraneous people wandering or sitting around in the background of the department, so it won't be long before I get to ones I remember and will have to find something else to watch
Monday again tomorrow. Heavy sigh
Goodnight all

I omitted to mention that the bed was stripped and left airing this morning before I went out
It has just been made in the usual JIT delivery fashion.

Evening all
It's been a warm but breezy day with occasional light showers. High of 18. Barometer up to 1008 mBar.
Went to visit Mum as usual today. Then on getting home more packing faffing. My house looks like a veritable bomb site, without the rubble.
The latest Dr Who has been watched. Next week's finale is apparently also being shown in cinemas.

I could have guested you into the CCR if I had been flying today. But I wasn't.

After last night's culinary disappointment, I felt the need for a decent takeaway to make up for it and round off the weekend. So tea has been taken away, by me, from the kebab shop. Very nice it was too
There must have been something in the park for Eid, as there were quite a few Muslim families walking back from it to their cars parked in the surrounding streets.
And on the shopping road, I discovered that today was the twice-yearly local fair, when they close the road and have stalls and bands and so on, though not an actual funfair with waltzers and such. This was the fourth one that I've missed since I bought this place and it was over by the time I went out, though I did see them just finishing breaking the stage down and loading it into the van on the road outside the butcher's

I've got a few promotional emails and such about "The big game tonight". I have no idea what they're referring to, but I believe the Association Football people have some kind of contest going on, so it's probably that

Don't they usually get a vet to shoot it with a tranquilliser dart when this kind of thing happens? Perhaps they were remembering how high vets' bills are these days and thought they could save a few bob

Morning denizens
Partly cloudy out, but mainly of the bulbous, white, fluffy form rather than the flatter grey things that brought the rain yesterday and overnight. A fair bit of sun getting through just now, helping the lawn to dry out. A bit milder as well: currently 12°C but soaring to 18° later. The barometers are only up a little though, at 988/996mB

Morning.
Sunday.
Damp.
Sunny.
Blue sky.
Chilly in here at 16.7 deg, 17.5 in the kitchen, 16 deg in the leanto, 13 deg in the saltinghouse.
999 mBar, 29.5 in Hg, 749.3 Torr, 14.489 psi, (up from 996 last night), 79% RH (GDR hair), 70% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 10th of October 2019 the discarded umbrella had leapt over the wall on the doctor's patch, suggestions were made for gps tracking, LM was starting more OU courses, and I'd been phoned up by some scamming bastard re the Miele washing machine warranty.
Shirts in the WM.
Shirts out of the WM & pegged out on the line.
Smalls in the WM.

Shirts in off the line & roughly iRoned, it must be said that some of said shirts really should be thrown away, the cuff is nearly falling off one, and several have collars that are in a similar condition. Meanwhile the wardrobe is half full of nearly new & new shirts that could be pressed into service. Some of said shirts aren't fit for gardening any more.
Lunch: beans on toast etc.
Entertainment during lunch & the iRoning: The Infinte Monkey Cage S20 Brits in Space.
The Infinite Monkey Cage S21: the science of laughter: it wasn't very funny.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine & chilly breeze. It's reached the dizzy heights of 18.3 deg in here.
Freecell score: 93%, running average: 86%: streak of 93 lasting until I made a silly mistake.
Tea: soup etc.
Entertainment: bit of POTW, R4 News. The Arch <click>
The infinite monkey cage S21: Conspiracy Theories.
The Skinwalker Ranch nutjobbery: "A frequency occurrence": Native American drumming associated with a heat spot on the mesa.
Flipping Bangers: The car programme following the above is about a Ford Orion this evening. Should be lots of welding in this one. .
Then again, I thought that about the Triumph Herald & they managed to find one that still had a floor, though we never got to see what state the chassis was in. .

Lots of wildlife stuff again today, including Monkey Life of course
And this evening, I returned to the short stories of H. G. Wells, including The Door in the Wall which is one of my favourites
Very variable weather today; there's been some more rain this evening, and even more expected overnight.
Goodnight all

Tea was brought to me from a noodle place across town, not far from the old flat, though I don't think it existed when I lived over there
It turned out to be exceptionally mediocre, so much so that I gave up on it after eating about a third of it. I won't even bother keeping the leftovers; it can go straight in the bin
Oh well, we live and learn. Once again, the perils of trying something new are brought into sharp focus

It's been a sunshine and showers kind of day. Fortunately I didn't get drowned when switching between storage units or walking to / from the zipcar parking spot.
Now I'm knackered and achy.

Volunteer thing this morning. Wet and rather boring, just snipping bits of brambles. Still, nice wander along a lake.

After the torrential downpour with light and sound effects, it's turned rather Simpsonesque out there
Lunch has been sausages and bacon in buttered bloomer toast
