      Morning denizens

      After much rain through the night, it’s now getting sunny out

      The forecast said the rain would linger through the morning, but the forecast turns out to have been wrong

        Rain stopped about halfway down here.

        Now in with the hoi polloi.

        Patches of blue sky were observed.

        Unfortunately they were nowhere near me.

          Apparently it should be fine for the rest of the day but might rain tomorrow, so I may venture forth to do the shopping this afternoon. More on this story as we get it.

            Having looked out of the window, I see that wet stuff has fallen (presumably) from the sky at some point. It no longer appears to be doing that.

            Work is being tedious and I don't want to do any. So I probably shan't as I don't really have anything that needs doing urgently. I might go back to bed for an hour, having read that people who nap are happier and more productive...

                Working in a scrum delivery when the business analyst is a control freak. The bellend wants access to my offshore dev team. He can have that if I can pin him to the floor via my boot on his throat for five minutes.

                  Early lunch of pâté on (wholemeal) toast

                  Seems quite changeable out there, but it’s definitely inclining back to “cloudy”

                    Bunch of daffs put on Strangelove Parents' grave, mostly for Strangelove Mater, whose favourite flowers they were.

                    Instead of Ye British Standard Jam Pot receptacle I used the bottom half of a plastic drinks bottle (Vimto apparently) which is rather safer when the strimming lunatic is around.

                    I note that more bulbs appear to be springing into life on said grave, no idea what, but crocus or snowdrop are possibilities.

                    Very tempted to put a cutting of that very vigorous rose on there but it would take over the cemetery, the one in my front garden got to 8 feet tall before I "pruned" it.

                    Naturally enough, since I thought of continuing up the hill on my daily constitutional, it immediately started pissing down, so I came back home, collecting a couple of extraneous cans on the way, as you do.

                    Plainly there'd been rivers of water coming down the hill overnight.

                    Lunch: beans on Morrisons' sunflower and pumpkin seed toast, 1.05 pints of good Glengettie tea, and a beetroot sarnie plus a bramble jelly sarnie for good measure.

                    Freecell score: 93%. Running average: 82%.
