Telly tonight started with last year's Christmas special of the Glasgow station thing, before it vanishes from iPlayer in a few days. It managed to include some good non-Christmas content too, such as welding rails
Then some thing about fraud; a bloke claiming benefits under a false identity and a woman who nicked a couple of hundred grand from Rugely council
And finally, The Repair Shop's Christmas special from 2017
Early night now, as I'm pretty sure I still haven't recovered fully from the weekend
Goodnight all

Morning denizens
Took a little while to get off to sleep, but quite a decent slumber after that which has left me feeling rather better
Grey day out with some evidence of overnight drizzle. Currently 11°C rising to 12°, 1012/1024mB on the barometers
It seems pretty quiet out there; I'm surprised "WFH" without full lockdown has such a noticeable effect.
I'm stuck now waiting for the FedEx redelivery attempt. No map to show me what they're doing, no text message updates; it's all very primitive

It was dull and overcast when I got up. It's still overcast but it's a bit brighter now the sun is up. Currently 12 degrees with a high of 13 expected. Unlikely to rain. Barometer up to 1026 mBar.
Busy morning with lots of meetings. It will be a busy day with more meetings to come. Not sure when the doing time will happen.

FedEx finally delivered: a hamper!
Well, not wicker or anything; a box full of Christmas goodies, including a bottle of red wine
It's either from the agency or the consultancy. Unfortunately, from the way the message with it is phrased, it could be either one of them. So I have no idea who to thank
