Looks like TPD update info is borked again.
Saying 7.14am today (or something like that)

7.44 am, NF's post for me

It's time sheet and invoice o'clock!

My timesheet for the week has already been approved!

Makes a nice change; she sometimes leaves it until Wednesday

That's what I'm getting too

I must look into that; no idea why it's going wrong

I suspect you will discover on Monday that she’s on holiday for the week

No, it's because the consultancy has a number of people on placement at ClientGov, and she asked us all to update the consultancy's internal timesheet system today as she has a meeting with the department about money stuff on Monday and wanted to be sure she had accurate figures for time worked in July. So I assume she guessed that I might have done the agency one at the same time, as I had, and figured she might as well get it out of the way

The car has been a Lamborghini Urraco, a bit out of their usual league, and featuring such exotica as a hydraulic clutch pipe that had a metric thread at one end and Imperial at the other. Currently SORN with no MOT record. But as the guy who bought it arrived in a McLaren, he probably wasn't getting it as a daily driver

Tea: freshly roasted gammon, with chips, beans and fried eggs

Tea was a sausage sandwich.

Fixed one of the curtains in the living room. Typical thing whereby the plastic gliders fail over time and the huge heavy drapes then put excess stress on the remaining and, before long, it's just hooked up at two ends. Awkward, unwieldy and frankly not my kind of curtain at all but it's fixed and working properly again.

Tonight's major motion picture premiere was The Batman (2022) which… yeah, no. The good Batman films (those three) embrace the darker aspects of the story but know how to leaven it with lighter stuff. This was just "all the gloomy stuff, all the way". No balance, just miserable storylines for nearly three hours. That's not the way to do it

But at least Edge of Tomorrow (2014) has been upgraded to 4K (and gained subtitles in the process, which often happens with films where some business person was churlish enough to withhold subtitles from the iTunes release but has either forgotten, moved on, or been given a talking to about disability discrimination laws by the studio's lawyers) so that was worth a rewatch

And did I mention I'm rewatching Chernobyl? Because I am. E2 tonight; it really is exceptionally good <- Soviet citizens smoking like chimneys, or maybe like reactor cores

Goodnight all
