^ I got it at 15.11. Bah! Surely in an emergency xoggoth should be the priority! My neighbour up at the club kept getting the warning over and over.

[NickFitz]

Funny coincidence, I had a prawn cocktail that was a day out of date for lunch. Expect we'll both be dead by tomorrow.

Just back from walk, discovered a permissive path I've not noticed before, that's tomorrow's walky planned. Been deluged with texts from loony lady 2 this morning, including apology. Suppose I'll have to put up with the old ratbag a bit longer. Off up to the village club shortly.


PS Anyone had this emergency alert thing on their phone? I ain't.

I'd probably be a bit warier of seafood, but if it tasted OK then you'll probably survive

I got the emergency alert at 15:01; somebody on Bluesky said they were in a pub and while some people got it bang on 15:00, others were getting it at thirty second intervals over the next few minutes. I suppose it makes sense that they can't actually hit everybody with it simultaneously

The one-third duvet has been successfully washed and dried!

The bed's been airing since this morning so I'll have to make that in a bit, now everything required is clean

[xoggoth]

Its Use By date was yesterday, but it tasted OK so I'm sure I'll be fine

For lunch, a pork pie that I'd forgotten about until I found it behind something in the fridge last night. Its Use By date was yesterday, but it tasted OK so I'm sure I'll be fine

Meanwhile in here, the washer-dryer is now tackling bed linen

Well, that didn't take long!

Next up: duvet

The instructions say such things should have the air squeezed out of them first. So I chucked it in one of those vacuum storage bags and hooked Henry up to it, and there's definitely no air in it now

Morning all, local time 1055

Sunny with high level wispy fluff. Currently 25 degrees with a high of 27 expected. Barometer down to 1016 mBar

Sunrise 07:47; Sunset 20:36 CEST

Currently at the airport. Heading home via Paris, of course. Feeling well enough to travel but am still taking things easy. HWMBO remains in Madrid for a few more days to indoctrinate some more unlucky souls.

There's quite a bit of rather wispy cloud about but the sun's getting through the gaps and thinner patches enough for it to be considered sunny out, albeit in a slightly muted way. Going to be rather warm too: it's already 18°C and will get up to 23° this afternoon. The barometers are plummeting though: 995/1003mB

But for some reason they once again stopped the wildlife at six in favour of a documentary about Steve McQueen followed by The Great Escape

Nice hagiography. . Particularly the approach he took to The Great Escape. Rewrites to make his part bigger. Oooer, mrs.

Morning.

Sunday.

Dry.

Grey.

Cool in here at 19.7 deg, 20.5 in the kitchen, 19.5 in the leanto.

998 mBar, 29.47 in Hg, 748.6 Torr, 14.4747 psi, (down from 1001 last night), 70% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 14th of February 2020 BR14 and Brillo competed for a pali, NF contratulated the latter, whilst I was in with the hoi polloi after going shopping.

Morning all
Was about to go out for a walk, then the heavens opened, along with a few rumbles of thunder. Waiting for it to ease before we venture out.

[NickFitz]

Lots of wildlife stuff as usual today, including a repeat of the first couple of episode of the otters in Singapore

But for some reason they once again stopped the wildlife at six in favour of a documentary about Steve McQueen followed by The Great Escape

So I watched the first of a two part thing about the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami on All4

And continuing the adventures of the new washer-dryer, a mattress topper and set of pillow protectors have been washed and dried

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea was brought to me from KFC

[xoggoth]

I've had it with loony lady 2, can't take any more listening to her repetitive yacking and doing her favours. I wouldn't mind helping out if it was something important but today she insisted on me driving her to the nearest town just to get a bottle of Roses lime juice and refused to get out of the car. From previous such trips I know I would have been hanging round at least half an hour outside the supermarket.

Lunch was a ham bap

The towels have been successfully washed and dried. I've now activated the "rinse out fluff" program, as there seemed to be a minor accumulation thereof

Cloudy day, though some patches are thin enough to have a slight blue tint showing through. There's going to be a brief attempt at a heatwave this weekend; it's already 18°C and aiming for 21°, with 24° expected tomorrow, failing back to the teens on Monday. The barometers are about the same at 1007/1015mB

A towel wash is on as part of the process of dealing with the backlog of laundry that has accumulated
