It's On Its Way Back!

The hot weather that is!  As the photo of the weather station shows, it is getting quite warm out there at around 11 am..  Fortunately the humidity reading outdoors is close to 40% giving us what feels like a cooler day than we experienced over the last weekend.  Last weekend we had 36° but a humidity reading of around 70%.  Well it doesn't "feel" quite so hot anyway!

As the sun moves to the west later today it will then begin to shine on the back of the house and the living area.  The air con is about to go on thus keeping that end of the house reasonably OK despite the afternoon sun.

As the Oscars get closer, pirate versions of Oscar Favorites begin to appear.  So far we have watched the fancied "Arrival", "La La Land" and the less fancied "Hidden Figures".  We managed 20 minutes of La La Land before I found the delete button.  We watched all of "Arrivals" last night and neither of us is really sure what it was about.

"Hidden Figures" is one of the less fancied movies but in our opinion, it is streets ahead of  the other two above.

"Hacksaw Ridge" is all over the internet today and I still have "Fences", Hell or High Water" or "Moonlight" to watch.  Watching movies is a tough ask when there is cricket, or tennis or highly fancied UK crime dramas all lined up to watch as well.

The new Nvidia Shield is on it way.  Tracking indicates it has been posted, collected by the "Carrier" and is being delivered to a freight facility in Edison NJ ready for its flight to Australia.  I have prepared a spot for it pride of place on the TV cabinet!

My phone I ordered from China first went to Geneva in Switzerland before being sent on to Australia.  Tracking info on that one it that it has departed Switzerland again.  This was a few days ago and there hasn't been an update for some time.

But patience is a virtue!
