Morning all
Windy but sunny, blue skies interspersed with fluffy clouds.
Currently 13 degrees and it seems like it will stay that way. Rain forecast from mid morning onwards.
First coffee being drunk.
HWMBO and the eldest are off to some charitable effort this morning, cooking for the needy. I have to get the youngest up by 11am.Comment

Friday by all accounts.
Smalls in the WM.

My only meeting for the day is done.
I actually have very little to do today as a new project is doing agile = no documentation, the original project is on hold, and a side project seems to have gone quiet.
Wind is up and it's raining.Comment

Morning denizens
Partly cloudy out and very windy, but no sign of rain either overnight or forthcoming
Annoying music person up the road finally STFU at about half two last night, by which time I was so pissed off with them that I couldn’t get to sleep until about half three
The hardware shop over the road has reopened!

Microsoft have open-sourced GW-BASIC for 8086, from 1983
Interestingly, the comments in the source refer to the registers of the Z80, for example GW-BASIC/GWMAIN.ASM at edf82c2ebf6bfe099c2054e0ae125c3efe5769c4 . microsoft/GW-BASIC . GitHub which goes on about [H,L], [D,E], and [B,C] but uses BX, DX, and CX for the corresponding purposes
