      I didn't freeze it because I'm short on room in the freezer, again. I need to remember not to get stuff when I go shopping, so I can use up what's in there
      You & me both.

      It's the 2 litres of frozen cooked apple that I'm wondering how to deal with.

      Maybe some sort of saw?

      Not one of the late Strangelove Mater's better freezing ideas.

      Tea this evening was lentil <pfffft> soup, sans salt as per the current usual.

      It was ok, followed by some stewed gooseberries and custard.

      I'm just about at the end of the BBE July 2017 custard powder, so this little bit of joy will end this weekend sometime.

      This evening's televisuall feast was "World War Weird" on "Yesterday" which included a spot on the M9 gun director which apparently was inspired by someone's dream.

      I'd conflated it with the SCR-584 radar controlled gun of the same vintage which had appeared in some other programme recently (as in the last 6 months or so).

      In other news, I still can't find those PCB masks anywhere, they don't appear to be in the garage & I can't find them in the house.

      They must be in work but feck nose where.

              You must be further north than me . 11'C in conservatory which has door wide open due to son's gf's damn cats.

              22'C in my office. Dunno why, not had any form of heating on. Must be all the farting.

                Tonight's movie magic was Gangster Squad (2013), in which the eponymous squad take on a mob boss who's taking over 1949 Los Angeles. Bit of a cross between noir and action flick, which I found quite entertaining overall

                And a bit of The West Wing to round the night off. Might as well get through it now I've started

                Goodnight all

                  Good morning all!

                  Day 35 of permydom!

                  It's becoming daylight here in Bolton on't 'ill. Sky is a funny pink colour - it's not raining or windy!

                  Leave at 13:00 today, one of the benefits of working for an engineering company!

                  Will be home by 13:15 - one of the benefits of living 6 miles from work!

                  Currently writing some firmware for my RS422 sniffer - which is nice, Atmel Studio 7.0 is really quite a nice tool to use! 32k of program space, 8k of RAM

                  Not back in the office until next Thursday - which is very nice, although I've a sneaking suspicion that I'll be in Worcester...

                  Have a good day all and enjoy your weekend.

                    Morning.

                    Dry.

                    Warmish side of chilly.

                    Calm as a calm thing.

                    Dawn's rosy fingers have just been replaced by the orange orb rising slowly over Margam.

                    It almost looks like something out of Blade Runner.

                    Where's the chick saying "Do you like our owl?".

                    I must admit I've never seen anyone do that in Lidl(tm) either.

                    Rather enjoyable in a film noir sort of way.

                    Still no chick with an owl, and the sun is rising.

                      Morning all
                      Clear blue skies and some ground frost this morning - the grass was crunchy on parts of the walk.
                      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
