    Heavy rain here too. If I’m interpreting the symbols correctly, this will turn to sleet in a couple of hours, and then snow

    But: it’s Thursday, and I’m done with work for the week!

    Much rain, which I was unaware of until I left the office. Many large puddles on the drive home.

    Meeting ended an hour early and the rain had eased, so I decided to take Max out for a walk. About half way round, the rain got heavier and then turned to sleet. Now drying off. Max has his smoking jacket on.

    I got an email from him late last night so I checked on Chrome and Firefox, where it worked. Then I tried on Safari in a Private Browsing window, and that worked too. I then cleared the cache, but a normal Safari window still didn't work. So I advanced the hypothesis that there's something in the data held in local storage (or a cookie, but that's unlikely) that's incompatible with some recent change he made

    Editing to add: I just went and checked my MBA while waiting for a container image to build, and it's working again in Safari! He said he might roll back to a build from a few days ago, so maybe that's why. Or maybe he found and fixed it, or maybe it was just Safari being weird

    The forecast is now for heavy rain from around 16:00 turning to heavy snow between 18:00 and 19:00, so I decided to pop down to Not-as-Big Sainsbury's in my lunch break

    Lunch has therefore not been completed yet as it was time to get back to work once I'd returned and put everything away - I'm snacking on some cold cocktail sausages while investigating yet another bug reported this morning

    Morning.

    Thursday.

    Damp.

    Grey.

    Sunless.

    Flat calm.

    Chilly in here at 11.8 deg, 8.5 in the kitchen, 6 in the leanto.

    1000 mBar, 29.53 in Hg, 750 Torr, 14.5 psi, (down from 1003 last night), 58% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 10th of March 2020 WTFH, LM, covbob, and DaveB popped in, with covbob missing a call from a pimp due to a comfort break, whilst I watched the commentary on "Their Finest Hour" after reading yet more of "Bright Shining Lie", whereas NF still had a lurgy and LM was going out to the theatre later.

    Raining.

    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: something on R4 waffling on about kinema.

    Raining. A lot.

    Er, it's now 985 mBar, 29.1 in Hg, 738.8 Torr, 14.286 psi. . 15:47.

    Er, it's now 979 mBar, 28.9 in Hg, 734.3 Torr, 14.199 psi at 17:48

    Tea: cheesy beans on toast etc. Nice enough.

    Entertainment: PM <click> Enough of Orange murdering scumbags. That's Orange scumbags that commit murder, rather than the preferred option of scumbags who murder the Orange Mother****er & his motley crew. Well one can but hope.

    978 mBar, 28.88 in Hg, 733.56 Torr, 14.185 psi. at 18:35.

    978.5 mBar at 20:37. Looks like the thing is passing.

    984 mBar at 22:57.

    Book. Other book. 3rd book with cartoons (Dilbert: the joy of work).

    Bits of "First Blood (1982)" with the sound muted.

    Lucy Worsley: Victorian Murder Club.

    Morning all

    Dull. Overcast. Damp. Mizzle. Currently 3 degrees with a high of 6 expected. Barometer steady at 1005 mBar.

    Sunrise 08:05; Subset 16:11 GMT

    In the office today. Roads busy. Not helped by what looked like a major accident on the A4 that closed two lanes.

    I’m having to play it on Chrome instead. Hope he fixes it soon
