    Morning all another day, another airport.

    For those of you who follow me on Twitter, prepare for rants. So far a certain orange company’s poor app and website design meant I couldn’t confirm the correct outbound flight had been booked after selecting it. (Wrong day)
    Then they allowed me to change but only at a cost of £32. Then they cancelled the car reservation. Then they implied that I hadn’t paid for hold luggage when I had, so I paid for it a second time. Yes, I booked it late at night in a hurry, but the experience was chronic
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      Morning.

      Grey.

      Dark.

      Misty.

      Dank.

      Very High Tide.

      Graving dock fuller than I've seen it before & it's actually gone down a bit judging by the tide mark.

      Currently dry, murrain of beasts booked for 16:00 as I stagger back to the bus stop, drenched with horizontal rain and blown into the carriageway to be run over by passing oik.

      Windy, with windier forecast.

      Ho hum.

          Excitement over, it's disappeared into the murk again.

              Bit of sun and a bit of cloud here in Manc Land.

              Apparently a few of the people here are planning to go the xmas markets at lunch time....

              I am not sure I can face it - however if i do go now it means I probably won't need to go nearer xmas when it will be much busier and therefore much more horrible.

              Or I could just not go at all.

              Baa humbug and thank crunchie it's Friday

                Raining.



                In my existential tedium, I've been downloading ancient copies of Wireless World (most of which I already possess, but they're down in the garage), and I found a design for a MSF 60kHz receiver that I don't think I've tried before.

                After much faffing around and a reasonable amount of redesign* I've got the thing to work.

                for me.


                *i.e. cobbling together various ideas I've had over the last couple of years or so and randomly joining them together.

                    The endless PC bulltulipe continues apace, this time it's the "Green Dragon Environmental Survey" bollox.

                    Roll on July.

                      There’s a severe weather warning for rain and wind in your neck of the woods this afternoon/evening
