Every year, SJD tells me to complete their Self Assessment questionnaire so they can do my tax return. Then I put it off for ages, because it sounds like a nightmarishly huge task.
Then I finally get around to it and it takes about fifteen minutes, much of which is spent trying to remember my online banking password so I can look up the measly amount of interest the bank gave me. (I always use the phone app with Touch ID, so hardly ever need the password.)
So that's done for another year, and next year I'll have forgotten how easy it was and put it off for weeks all over again

Sadly, the rain stopped & the endless sun returned.
Though it's not as hot as all that, thank whichever sky fairy is appropriate.

Ribs and chips for tea

Watched E8 of "Low Winter Sun" and wondering if FX will show 9 & 10 as 1 ep next week.
Turns out it's a Septic remake of a UK film, stretching the material until it breaks.
Och, ye'll have had yer tea.
There's been a murrrder.

Then I picked some more blackberries which I've just stewed.
They'll come in handy for tea tomorrow.
Or the next day.

Apparently it's down to 23°C outside now. Still 29°C in here though
I've even considered getting a Dyson "air cooler" thingy but it turns out they don't actually cool the air - it's just a fan, albeit a fancy one. Not sure I want to spend £400 on a machine for moving hot air around the place, unless it's a balloon and I can at least get a nice view

Tonight's based-rather-loosely-on-a-true-story experience was Hidden Figures (2016), about three African-American women working as mathematicians at NASA in the early days of the space program. Very good, although after watching it, it's worth taking note of the various distortions of fact described in the Wikipedia section on its historical accuracy. And they should have shown more FORTRAN
Goodnight all

22.2 deg C in here at the moment, it's about 24 upstairs.
I rather enjoyed that film.
And I'm about a third of the way through the (remaindered in The Works) book which starts a good deal earlier (20 years earlier) than the film.
I note from the rail departures board that the 06:34 is on time again.
It's a great pity that the 07:34 won't achieve the same thing.
Oh, and it's drizzling.
It was doing more than drizzle by the time I left the house.
Oh sweet refreshing rain.
Got quite wet by the time I'd got to the station, and lo! verily the train had two carriages, and instead of a class 153 we had a class 150.
Considering the number of fecking irritating fecking bikes on board, it was just as well.
And it was on time.
Wonders shall never cease.
No good shall come of this.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 24 July 2018, 07:22.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment
