    Raining!

    Just noticed, not sure how long that's been going on.

      Lunch: ham and sweet chilli sandwich on Morrisons sunflower & pumpkin seed bread (stale, last slice), poached tomato and scrambled egg on Morrisons sunflower & pumpkin seed toast (crust, end of loaf), 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

      Entertainment in the ongoing deluge: Prog about the "Dragon Lady" aka U2 plane on Forces TV at noon, repeated for those innerested at 17:00.

      Wish they'd do one about the SR71.

      Dear old Charlton Heston is narrating something about MI at 13:00, hope it's inneresting enough to keep me awake.

        You can't do that in the Excel conference centre

        Though knowing American companies, if I suggest it to AWS they might well make it an option next time the event happens in the real world

        Ah Geek Peloton?? Sounds like a winner, just need sandals with pedal clips.

              Yup.

              It's about guns, guns, and more guns, from Big Bertha on, through the V3, to the Atomic Cannon & such like lunacy.

              Ah, the lunacy of The Davy Crocket 10 ton nuke instead of the Atomic Cannon.

              Then we're on to Gerald Bull and the supergun.

              Apparently HARP managed to fire a projectile to 112 miles high.

                Smoked pancetta omelette for lunch

                The AWS thing runs a lot faster when they don't have to get everybody into Excel then give them time to switch rooms between sessions. Started at nine, and the closing talk (which as usual is mainly marketing stuff) is almost over now rather than finishing at half five

                    Crikey, do you have one of those exotic, mixed breed alpaca-gators unicorns or a common vet-intensive King Charles Cavalier Spaniel?
