Afternoon all, Heathrow calling

Haven't actually looked outside but my weather app says it's cloudy with rain due soon. Currently 8 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer at 1012 mBar.

Uneventful flight back. Arrived at a bus gate which actually works out an easier trip than trekking from B or C gates.

Now waiting on our flight to Glasgow.

Good luck!

Just back from visit to old uni mate. Not too many traffic jams by usual UK motorway standards. Out to dentist shortly. Grrrr.

Dentist?? - what's that??

Morning.

Monday.

Damp.

Dreary.

Wanly sunny to start, grey & overcast & raining now.

Chilly in here at 14.5 deg, 12.5 deg in the kitchen, 12 deg in the leanto.

1009 mBar, 29.795 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.634 psi, (unchanged), 60% RH (Lidl electric).

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in sunshine to start, grey & picking with rain at the end.

Odd dream about red squirrels and house renovation. I wonder what that means.

Meanwhile on the 2nd of December 2019 there was more discussion of the CUK Cookbook & the sad reason for its creation (RIP doodab, is it really 10 years?), the McMillan giftaid site (now at £1575), whereas I attended a funeral in Morriston crem (presumably MV's mum) and then returned home to chop a branch off the apple tree. It's a lot easier to get to Morriston crem by car (that trip) than by two buses (last September for my butty's funeral).

Good luck!

Slept in, so we just had a walk around the garden. The Wife will take MMtSH out later.

Grey and murky here

Morning denizens

It looked like being a bright sunrise with nice orange hues gilding the eastern sky but by the time the sun had heaved itself over the horizon, the low fingers of cloud stretching across the sky seem to have clumped together a little, so it's fairly bright out but not dazzling. Seems chilly but not frosty, with quite a heavy dew. To be precise, it's 3°C, which isn't expected to rise past 5°, so I think it'll be the coldest day we've had in quite some time. The barometers are tiptoeing down at 1000/1009mB. Oh, and rain is expected this evening and into the night

[NickFitz]

Lots of Monkey Life this morning, though the Canadian border stuff later was old and largely ignored. This evening I watched the latest episode of Ambulance, and then part one of the C4 thing about Jean Charles de Menezes

Later, I read a bit more of Lying for Money and also some Jeffrey Bernard

Monday again tomorrow. Four more weeks till my Christmas break

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Shepherds pie for tea

The dish I make it in results in three good-sized portions, so the last one is now in the freezer

[ladymuck]

afternoon all
less than 24hrs to wait now, and then (hopefully) i'll have vision restored to my right eye.
might be able to do 6x6 maps in less than 40 moves then!
wish me luck?

Morning all, local time 1029

Cloudy but currently dry with a bit of sunshine. The rain is due to return off and on. Currently 10 degrees with a high of 11 expected. Barometer down to 1002 mBar.

We have mostly packed and secured a slightly late check out which gives us time to pop to a shop and buy some very good local gin we discovered yesterday. Then it'll be time for brunch and to kill a few hours before we head to the airport.

Yesterday we walked up to Capitol Hill and back, via a seafood restaurant where we had oysters. HWMBO also had a chowder and I had a moqueca. Gifts were purchased.

In the evening we were knackered so just went to a couple of local cocktail bars for drinks and nibbles.

The BBC's 1952 adaptation of Nineteen Eighty-Four starring Peter Cushing is on BBC4 tonight and iPlayer afterwards
