Moist here. Raining steadily but not heavily for a good while.
For lunch, I finished off the sticky chicken wings I made the other day.

Having fun with map-related stuff this afternoon
And occasionally getting up to wander over to my lovely tall bay window, where I can look at the chestnut tree waving its arms around and people with umbrellas and anoraks plodding home through the wind and rain under the grey sky

Raining heavily here and has been all day.
Dog really didn't want to go out in it, had to be dragged to the park despite having her waterproof coat on.
Did the necessary, which took some time as she'd been refusing to even go out in the garden all day, then didn't need telling twice to head for home."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Tea was M&S breaded haddock. It was nice enough.
Followed by the obligatory stewed blackberries and custard.
Which was nice enough.
Topped off with 1.05 pints of Good Glengettie tea.
Today's entertainment began with "Shane (1953)" with Alan Ladd et al.
Followed by that nice Larry Olivier telling us about August 1944 to March 1945.
"The World at War" Pincers: August 1944-March 1945 (TV Episode 1974) - IMDb
Arnhem and The Battle of the Bulge.
Followed by the Abandoned Engineering thing.
Including a thing about Fort Drum in the Philippines and how the Septics dealt with the Japanese infesting it.
Fort Drum (Philippines) - Wikipedia
In case you're innerested, they poured petrol and diesel in & set it on fire.
Took 5 days for it to cool down enough for them to enter.
No survivors.
Shortly "Battles of WWII" is about The Battle of the Bulge in rather more detail.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 16 August 2019, 18:48.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

HWMBO is roasting quail and various vegetables from the butchers and greengrocers around the corner for dinner.
Our aperitif was a 1998 P2 Dom Perignon. With dinner we will be having an undated Garnacha from the Co-op.Comment

My upstairs neighbours are back, having been away all this week. I strongly suspect them of having been on holiday, but of course it's impossible to prove.Comment
