Morning.

Tuesday apparently.

Dry.

Blue sky.

Sunny.

Chilly in here at 13.7 deg, 11.5 in the kitchen, 8 in the leanto, 4 in the saltinghouse.

1011.5 mBar, 28.87 in Hg, 758.7 Torr, 14.67 psi, (up from 1005 last night), 57% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 3rd of February 2020 NF had watched STOS: III, whilst I'd watched "Unforgiven" earlier, LM suggested my leg needed a massage from a nubile young lady, eek popped in,

Today we are off to Dubai, and will have up to 90 minutes to get through the transfer process before coming straight back again. Guess who forgot their headphones

So you flew to Warsaw so you could fly to Berlin so you could get up at an ungodly hour to fly to Dubai then immediately turn round and fly back to Berlin again? It’s one way of getting to Stromness for the weekend, I suppose

[WTFH]

Morning all
CBS, etc, but not as chilly as I was expecting. A pleasant walk was had.

Morning denizens

Seems a bit less cloudy today, and we’ll even get sunny spells! Cold again though, and a bit breezy: it’s 3°C but “feels like” -2°, aiming for a high of 8° - though only briefly this afternoon. The barometers are bouncing back at 1001/1009mB

Just heard the sound of the first of the bin lorries doing its thing, for it is bin day!

Morning all, Berlin calling, local time 0450

Dark. Can't see the weather. Apparently it's cloudy. Currently 0 degrees ('feels like' -2) with a high of 3 degrees expected. Barometer at 1001 mBar.

Sunrise 07:44; Sunset 16:01 GMT

Tonight’s viewing was the remaining bit of an episode of Police Interceptors I started watching on, I think, Friday

Later, I finished reading A Gun for Sale. An excellent novel! I must get around to reading more of Graham Greene’s early stuff; I’ve got his Collected Short Stories, so I might make a start on that next

Goodnight all

[ladymuck]

Dinner was veal schnitzel and potato salad. Very delicious it was too.

Early to bed as up at 4.30 am tomorrow for the main adventure.

[NickFitz]

Tea has been moderately spicy chicken thighs with chips and ketchup

The chicken turned out very nicely. I’ll have to try and remember what I put in the seasoning this time

[NickFitz]

Another working day done, and only eleven more to go this year!

Once again, it’s been an interesting and productive day. ClientGov will be getting their money’s worth out of me if things keep on like this!

Greetings from Warsaw airport, local time 1500

Snowing. Currently -1 degrees ('feels like' -5).

Sunrise 07:12; Subset 15:33 CET

No EES shenanigans for me. HWMBO got fingerprinted and quizzed though.

Awaiting our flight to Berlin.

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a Sainsbury’s steak slice, because they were out of Pukka ones when I went shopping. Nice enough though

Still gloomy out

Morning.

Monday.

Damp.

Blue sky in parts.

Wanly sunny.

Chilly in here at 14.7 deg, 12 in the kitchen, 10 in the leanto.

989.5 mBar, 29.22 in Hg, 742.2 Torr, 14.351 psi, (down from 991 last night), 55% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 2nd of March 2020 there was more talk of watches, T2 and T5 at Heathrow, whilst NF was up a stepladder changing the bulb in the kitchen, only to find that all the available bulbs were defunct so had to cook tea by the desk lamp, on top of which there was the excitement of The Crash up the Road, BR14 was mentioned but AWOL, and the gravy I'd made was disgusting and thusly discarded.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine. Even had two conversations.

Lunch: brunch.. Entertainment: Y&Y endless Scamwatch(tm)* <click>

*Unavoidable: all through the week.

Lovely sunset with golden rays shining up the valley, boyo. There's tidy then.

I've realised that when the clock goes back I seem to stop doing anything much and, instead, hibernate inside. Odd innit?

Tea: Mr Brains faggots with peas & such. Nice enough.

Entertainment: PM.

The Nazi programme: The battle of Kursk.

Thing about Merthyr Tydfil: seen it before: the glories of 200 years ago <click>

The Oak Island nutjobs. The metal detecting nutjob finds lots of pottery in the swamp along with a piece of the heel (or 'eel) of a leather boot. The latest drill hole starts bringing up chunks of 17th century plastic poly something drillhole lining. Ooops. Some expert dates last week's glass beads to 1500 to 1650. And there was a George III penny.

History's Mysteries: Nazi gold.

Now the sun is up, it's quite bright with plenty of blue sky. Sadly the Lufthansa lounge's view of the airfield is obscured by the bars on the exterior of the building (some design aesthetic).

[NickFitz]

Off to Heathrow Terminal 2 this morning for a flight to Berlin (via Warsaw). Flying with LOT for the first time.

Have a good one!
