Friday 31st 48F! Incredibly heavy overcast for 9am, windy, pouring with rain and foolishly warm. All day rain forecast. Might peter out by this evening for the fireworks. We went from -9C and snow to +9 C in only a couple of days. It finally stopped raining mid-afternoon. The workshop's outside thermometer showed 50F! The north facing one on the house only 48F.
New warmth records are being set all over the place. Alaska 24th December 67F/20C! The record, for all winter months destroyed! 100F/38C in Arctic Russia in June.
Today's Jinping Plague news: Remember: "Chinese genocide is a matter of internal affairs." All proceeds to the Chinese communist protection racket.

My poor, old car [from 1996] is misbehaving. Juddering and missing power on acceleration. It wouldn't start in the supermarket car park today. That was a first. Worn plugs? They looked old and grubby but not oiled. I have ordered a new set of plugs and a replacement rotor. A new distributor cap costs as much as the car is worth!
