Cloudy out, though a bit of thin sunshine is getting through thinner patches now and again. Very windy though, judging by the wild gesticulations of the horse chestnut tree out the front
As this interferes with my plan to spend the afternoon building MySQL from source so I can run it under a debugger to investigate some of its internals, I decided instead to pop up to the Amazon Locker to collect a book. And lo! on the next corner, a hole, near which are a bunch of workmen with that slight droop of the shoulders that suggests it wasn't their fault, and two vans, one of them from the power company. Also, the petrol station by which the hole is situated has no power either.
This then made me wonder if the Amazon Locker would be working, and it was: it must have a UPS or something
Oh, and it's raining
And as I type, the power has come back on, then gone off again, and come back on again. Not sure how much it's to be trusted yet…
Very late lunch due to the primary ingredient being in the freezer, which I didn't want to open in case the power cut went on for ages: southern not-fried chicken fillet in a wholemeal bap
