    Every time I walk into the living room, my eye is caught by the open space between the armchairs and the fire and TV. I don't think I've ever managed to combine so much free space into one area in all the time I've lived here. I can walk up and down in it!

      Anyway, back to AWS, where I'm working out how to create and assign permissions to a Lambda function from scratch, as the step-by-step thing in the AWS console never seems to do it quite right

        May I say that, speaking as a Doctor, I admire the healthiness of your diet.

        May I also say that the murrain of beasts has, indeed, arrived, if only briefly so far.

        I should be out in the garden doing stuff but I'm strangely unconcerned at my lack of endeavour in these matters.

          The aroma from the slow cooker is starting to drift through the flat, tormenting me with the knowledge that it won't be ready for another five hours or so

            As it's too wet for walking been looking at auto generating family tree from gedcom file with jscript.

            Using a House of Stewart example to work with and it's more complicated than I thought due to multiple wives and cousin marriage. I presume most heritage apps have limits on extent of inbreeding they cater for.

                I've heard of that and how ugly they were as a result. Only cousins though, could be worse, somebody having offspring with their great grand dad would be really hard to automate in jscript.

                  No need to get lippy about it.

                  In other news, the afternoon has been spent sorting out piles of unsorted tulipe from various pension companies, the LPGS lot, the State Pension lot, Denplan, whatever the replacement for Denplan is, and abundant other crap.

                  The forecast rain, hail, sleet, slow, murrain of beast and "Mae hi'n bwrw hen wragedd a ffyn" has come to pass, with a very impressive clap of thunder just now.

                  It's very dark out there.

                    Sainsbury's have got quite a nice red wine at the moment. In Big Sainsbury's it's marked up at £14 or so, but in the Sainsbury's Local over the road it's £16.50

                    But someone has blundered, and when rung up at the till in Sainsbury's Local, it comes up as only £6

                    I've bought several bottles since discovering their mistake
