      Blue Sky - would be tempted to go out but too much to do - which is why I'm here instead.
      merely at clientco for the entertainment

        Blue sky in Manchester today.

        Which is novel.

        Still a bit chilly though.

          On random purchases made because it seemed a good idea.

          Eek twin 1 broke her saxophone so she needs a new one and we are waiting for the insurance to pay out.

          Someone on Shpock has a professional one they are selling for relative peanuts - so I've bought it as Shpock seem to have a buyer guarantee. Let's see what turns up and how it works.

            Hopefully it only works a long way from you?

            Still, can't be worse than WTFH singing....

              In the small hours of the morning this epic is being screened on Talking Pictures:

              The First Traveling Saleslady (1956) - IMDb

              Remarkable only for the presence, albeit briefly, of one Clinton Eastwood, who was the grand old age of 26 at the time.

              An even earlier classic:

              YouTube

              From the first time 3D was considered A Good Idea.

                Good afternoon all!

                Location - Worcester

                Weather - Grey and Windy. The odd shower and seagull tulipe!

                Parish Notes - The Russians are here. Crawling all over their new hardware that's currently sat in the yard. Demonstration of control software currently underway - I wrote it, I'm sure as hell not going to demo it! The Russians seem pleased, they're going to need a very big truck - several big trucks - if they want to take the hardware away with them...

                I think I've got a cold.

                  Lunch was a very unsatisfactory salad from the canteen.

                  Unsatisfactory because I didn't know what I wanted for lunch, and nothing on offer inspired.

                  Should have just bought crisps and chocolate.

                  If anyone's bored, at 2pm there's a conference call at ClientCo about coronavirus planning - targeted at "external colleagues" so unlikely to be juicy.

                    Afternoon denizens

                    Grey day here, and still only 6°C

                    No rain forecast, though.

                      It's a bit turgid all in all, as is indicated by the number of times I stopped it to look sommat up on the interweb.

                      Turns out all the guns are totally anachronistic, particularly the 1917 .45ACP revolver.
