Either the world has ended or there's a rugby football match on.
Lunch was bought by the next door neighbours who turned up to inspect their property.
Which made a pleasant change.
Since I'm half pissed I can't decide what to do with the remainder of the the afternoon.
We don't have any rugby locally until next month, it seems. And the other kind of football isn't happening around here for another couple of weeks either.
<hiatus during which it became plain that the disc was a very very poor bootleg, filmed in a cinema with variable focus and terrible definition>
Now watching the mandatory 2nd copy which isn't.
Both excellent films
I've been mucking around with a tutorial for writing Mac apps, only slightly hindered by the fact that it's all about Swift, but I'm working in Objective-C because I know that better

From personal observation of someone who has the misfortune of teaching Swift, it's a pain the arse, and changes with monotonous regularity, so whatever you prepared last year won't run this year.
And of course, every time it gets updated it's multi Gbyte update time all over again again.

That's one reason I'm sticking with Obj-C for now. Once they've decided what language they want Swift to be, I might look into it
Tonight's big feature was BlacKkKlansman (2018), based on the true story (usual caveats apply) of black rookie cop Ron Stallworth, who in the early 1970s started (pretty much by accident) and led an operation to infiltrate the KKK in Colorado Springs. Interesting story, with some pretty funny moments too. Worth a watch
And a bit more of The West Wing, which is a bit more interesting now they've got the Presidential campaigns with Hawkeye from M*A*S*H and that other chap up and running.
