    Tonight’s viewing was the rest of Catching a Killer from last night, in which after many weeks searching a landfill site, they finally recovered the victim’s body. His killer had already fled to Turkey by the time he was reported missing, and is still at large

    Later, incredible scenes in Endurance as they finally have to leave the ice and take to the sea in three small boats. Somehow, against all odds, they make it to Elephant Island - the first land they’ve been on for nearly five hundred days

    Goodnight all

    Got me 5 warblings ready for Karaoke. 1st for about 2 months after bloke who leads it had a stroke. Hope's he fully ok now. Huge water outages round here so expect everyone will turn up smelly.

    Another day done!

    After this morning, it was a relief to be able to spend the afternoon hacking on something interesting. The other dev offered to pair with me after she’d had another meeting that didn’t involve me, but then changed her mind, saying she was “meetinged out” and was going to veg out by doing some mandatory training instead

    Lunch has been turkey soup and wholemeal bread

    The loaf baked on the quick programme didn’t turn out too badly; it’s not exactly light and fluffy but also not excessively stodgy, so it’ll do

    This morning was almost entirely meetings

    New bed delivered this morning, came half an hour early, good thing I'd already got things sorted out. Karaoke back this evening, must get some screechings prepared.

    PS Bed did not include the free prostitute I was hoping for. Bah!
