Home!
Before leaving today, I finally informed the chap at ClientCo that I would not be accepting any further extensions after this one ends in seven weeks. So I have twenty more days there, and then I'm free again
Things are going well, though, and there's only a couple of fairly big features that he's hoping I can polish off along with a bunch of smaller fixes or reworkings. Also, he said he's starting to come under a bit of pressure from the business over costs, so he's hoping we can get it all done and dusted, or close enough that they can do the rest, without having to bring anybody in to replace me.
Let the countdown commence

In an unusual change of routine, I visited Aldi who had a veggie Lasagne ready meal. As most of my culinary problems are caused by veggie daughter, I purchased one such lasagne, as well as a meaty one for Mr ms and me.
3 meals for less than a fiver.

Morning denizens
Gloomy out, apparently. Also, it'll probably rain on the way to ClientCo, and maybe on the way back this afternoon too
