Co-worker at ClientCo, who it turns out has an NHS hospital manager for a brother, gave me some advice to pass onto my Dad for his meeting with the hospital today to discuss my Nan's discharge. Turns out it was very helpful advice indeed and he's very happy with the care package proposed. It means she can go home once it's all in place. Whilst she may not have long left, she's going to be much happier for the time she has. Today was also a good day for her, as she was 'on this planet' as my Dad likes to say. This made explaining what's going to happen much easier as she wasn't chatting to people no-one else can see.

Ribs and chips for tea
Clear sky out there, and Orion has risen majestically in the east
Getting cold from the lack of cloud, though: down to 2°C already

Tea this evening was more of the roast chicken legs rounded off with 1.05 pints of good Glengettie tea.
The evening's entertainment was BTVS S7 E13 (with and without commentary) and Angel S4 E13 wherein buxom bad girl Faith gets busted (see wot I did there?
) out of gaol to help reensoul Angelus.
Both amusing enough.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Broadband’s fine here, there just isn’t much light out the back because the surrounding houses are all imposing Victorian edifices that block out the streetlights from that areaOriginally posted by ladymuck View PostOh to live without light pollution. But the broadband isn't as good...
Just had the last of those apple turnovers I made ages ago out of the freezer, with salted caramel ice cream

Hassles with MySQL not installing properly on Ubuntu 16.04 this evening
I think I’ll leave it until tomorrow; I’ll just fail to get anywhere and become increasingly frustrated if I try to sort it out at this time of night

Bonjour tous
Sorry, French keyboard.
No idea why I’m awake this early. Might go see what’s in the breakfast room.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
