Non-stop action here as a pigeon flies down from next door’s chestnut tree into our front garden, then wanders around the gravel for a bit, pecking at odd bits in a desultory manner.

Shame our cats weren't around. One of them even makes bird noises when she sees a bird....

This evening I have watched another Time Shift episode. This time about the building of the first Severn Bridge. A marvellous feat of engineering.

Which channel was that on? Is it on catch up?

No word yet from BR14? Maybe he forgot to take any Internet with him?

That has saved some whining....

Just had one of those calls where the end result was:-

1) why did you think I might be interested in helping you out doing that work for that rate of pay?
2) while I wasn't planning to do consultancy myself I couldn't be worse than that lot....

Wipro?

If I wanted whining I would talk to my ex-wife.

Maybe you need a massage from a nubile young lady

Does she have to be nubile?

Back in tpd real-time. Will not last long....

Raining out now. It missed a trick though, as I just popped over to the hardware store to get a new bulb for the kitchen, and it remained dry throughout my excursion

And the kitchen now has electric light again

You bought only the one?

Surely another was needed for stock in case the new one lasts mere seconds.

EverReady light bulbs, I'm looking at you, you useless pieces of crap.

MTTF of 8 bulbs from the same batch: 10 seconds (at a generous estimate).

Wipro?

Nope - a small local firm that is currently seeing their current markets dying and wish to move.

Downside is their rates don't make sense and if I wanted to do what they need me to do I would be better doing it myself.

The thing is I probably could do it now as the coding side of things I needed to do is almost done so I'm thinking about it - it all comes down to needing staff though so let's see if I can find staff.
