    What I'd forgotten was the sensor I'd designed the fecker around, it was an LM335 not an LM35.

    Glad we've cleared that up.

    With an LM35 it was showing -286 deg C which would have made the lab a bit chilly all in all, and would have won me the Nobel Prize for achieving a temperature 13 degrees below absolute zero.

    X7 home again home again jiggety jig.

    Very warm on the bus.

    <phew wot a scorcher>

    Tea/dinner this evening is M&S battered haddock.

    Which should just about be ready.

    And very nice it was.

    Now to enjoy a couple of mugs of Glengettie tea, especially blended to suit Welsh Water, boyo.

    I suppose I'd better drag my aged body upstairs for a nice cold shower.

    Seem to be getting very tired these days, more tired than usual.

    Must be because I'm almost an OAP.

    Now to find a course on brick laying.

      Reading Pepys' Diary, I can't help but think it would be a Good Thing if we were to resume the practice of breaking off from work mid-morning for a "morning draught" at some convenient alehouse or tavern

              Just had two Morrisons Eccles Cakes (reduced) since I don't do delayed gratification any more in case I die while waiting.

              Now watching "Hatton Garden" on ITV with Kenneth Cranham & Timothy Spall.

              They look as old as I feel.

                    Dinner has been much of the rest of the big chicken from Sunday, reheated in the oven, with the rest of the potato wedges from whenever it was and lashings of red sauce. Exceedingly nice, it was

                      Including magazines, I see… Cumbria's a bit of a way to take them all, though
