    At least the CV is out there again (with new throwaway number) to give me a little hope.

      Restarting Celery and RabbitMQ seems to have got things moving again. Looks like everything had been queued, so no data loss. It’s currently processing tweets from Saturday evening, with over 12,000 still in the queue

          Lunch today was poached tomato salmon on Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin seed toast baked potato (unspecified Tesco "white") with green peas.

          It mad a pleasant, if rather more expensive, change.

          The cat was banging on the door for his share.

          Followed by a beetroot sandwich on Morrisons sunflower & pumpkin seed bread and 1.05 pints of Good Glengettie tea.

          Whilst preparing this repast the garage phoned up to say that the car was ready, rather to my surprise.

          Following the consumption of the above comestibles, caught the 13:51 X7 down to town, trotted down the bus station to the 87 and caught that.

          The driver proved to be a chap I worked with in Siliconix until 1987 when they made him redundant IIRC.

          Since when he's worked for Sony and after yet more redundancy is driving buses.

          Small world & all that.

          From semiconductors into TV manufacture, Fortran and C programming, ending with bus driving.

          In other news, just turned the heating on and the boiler is making its usual warmup noise which is easily mistaken for some sort of helicopter.
          When the fun stops, STOP.

                    Work was dull. Had the usual Monday morning flurry of activity but essentially all work was done by 11am.

                    WFH tomorrow

                      Stay in front of your computer and drivel all day instead. What can be more important than that?
