I've got no idea what's going on with this forum now. Pages simply won't load in Safari; they just get stuck on the request. But in Chrome, it's fine - much faster than usual, if anything

That’s odd - for some reason, my laptop had switched to the 4G backup wi-fi. Switched back to the proper one and it’s fine

Another old fart meet up at a posh local house this afternoon. Probably just messing about with some more fencing this morning.

Morning all

Overcast. Damp. Misty type rain that gets you properly wet. Currently 19 degrees ('feels like' 24, I disagree) with a high of 21 expected. No idea if the rain will continue as the weather app doesn't know it's currently happening. Barometer down to 1018 mBar.

Sunrise 06:25; Sunset 19:34 BST

Easy billing morning - sitting in on a monthly meeting, no input needed. Taking Mum to the opticians this afternoon.

Morning.

Monday.

Damply damp.

Grey.

Sunless.

Dreary.

Glad I did the washing yesterday.

21 deg in here, 21.7 in the kitchen,20 in the leanto, 18 out the back.

1010 mBar, 29.83 in Hg, 757.6 Torr, 14.65 psi, (up from 1009 last night), 70% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 3rd of April 2020, between 21:51 and 22:11, in popped Brillo a lot, with LM lending a hand.

Jack Hargreaves Old Country: mobile sheep dip. "Turnouts" as in horse & carriage/pony & trap etc. The reason why The Brougham carriage was always black: if it wasn't black it wasn't allowed into Buck House following the demise of Albert, everything being black for the next 40 years or so.

Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Thing on R4 about autism & ADHD. Probly applies to a fair few of the assembled congregation. .

Dashcam bollox.

It’s a sunny start with a scattering of clouds, and last night’s wind has dropped, though there’s still a breeze. It’s getting cooler: currently 15°C but the day’s high will only be 20°, and it’ll mostly stay below that for the rest of the week. It’s likely to rain tonight, too. The barometers are down some more at 1003/1010mB

Tonight in Pixie, her artistic career is looking up after several years of struggle, with an exhibition of her “music paintings” (she had synæsthesia so would listen to music and draw the visions it evoked) selling well at Stieglitz’s gallery in New York

Very windy out there tonight. Are the equinoctial gales coming early this year?

Monday again tomorrow. At least I’ve got some vaguely interesting stuff to muck around with

Goodnight all

Lunch earlier was some leftover crispy duck. And tea has been ribs and chips

This was accompanied by a new episode of 24 Hours in A&E which I noticed had quietly sidled onto All4 when it thought nobody was looking

Yay, we're back on Firefox

[WTFH]

A total of 10 dumpy bags of garden waste/logs have been taken to the tip, along with a few normal sized bags.

Went to club and spent time chatting with my neighbour. Glad we don't have the enmity we used to over property stuff.

[xoggoth]

Finally submitted accounts to HMRC, not managed to submit to Companies Crappy House as says my authentication code is wrong, had to request a new one.

Nice walk with NOT loony7 lady yesterday. Nowt on today but may call in at village club later.

Sunny. Blue sky with cloud that looks like pebbles. Currently 21 degrees ('feels like' 24) and that's the high for the day. Barometer at 1022 mBar.

Rubbish sleep. Woke around 3 am and dozed off and on for several hours. This morning the local fun run went past and enthusiastic people were cheering the runners along.

In helping Mum find a comb, I found a pot of yoghurt in her dressing table drawer. No idea how long that had been there so into the bin it went.

Not so much cloud today and what there is is high and wispy, which I believe presages a change in the weather. It’s mild at 16°C and expected to soar to 24°, with the barometers down a little at 1009/1017mB

The coming week will be cooler though, with rain likely to return

Trip to the tip later, our gardener filled 4 dumpy bags with prunings yesterday. Will make my first trip this morning and see what the queue is like. Second trip might be straight after, or saved for tomorrow.

3 trips done yesterday - 2 in the morning and one just before they closed. Might have to do a run today as well. It’s amazing how much extra garden waste you generate when you put a new chain on a saw.
