    When I was at Leicester Uni in the early 1980s, they spent a fortune fixing the windows on the Engineering Building, which had won architectural awards (and even featured on a postage stamp) when it was built about twenty years previously.

    They've just announced they're going to spend millions fixing the windows again. I suppose they at least lasted thirty years rather than twenty this time
    The building that I moved from a couple of years ago had wonderful white plastic double glazing.

    You could see daylight through the joins, so it was draught city.

    The current location has the original 1960s steel windows which leak like sieves.

      You'd think windows might be a solved problem by now, wouldn't you?

        Dinner this evening was, as might be predicted, it being a Tuesday, fish.

        Tomorrow's lentil soup has just finished boiling and will now fester on the cooker until tomorrow evening.

        The <pffffft> component was not forgotten this week.

          Missed two trains this evening, the 17:12 and the 17:28, this last by about 30 seconds.

          Finally caught the 17:48 Manchester train.

                Since I got up this morning about the same time as NF went to bed, I think it's time to retire*.


                *That's retire to bed, rather than retire in a Mauve Monkey irritating Boomer sort of way.
