      Morning all

      Dull and damp start to the day, following early morning rain (that woke me up). Brightening up but still cloudy. Currently 19 degrees with a high of 23 expected. Still the chance of a few light showers this morning. Barometer down to 1014 mBar.

      Having a row about data in reports that always used to be present in the legacy reports but is suddenly unacceptable in the new ones.

        Sausages in finger rolls for lunch

        Quite sunny out now

        And most importantly, not long until I knock off for my long weekend

          Timesheet done, inexplicable error encountered when trying to set an OoO message in Teams - that's me done for the week!

              Tea: lamb cutlets with chips, peas and gravy. Delicious

              Timesheet was approved within minutes of me submitting it, which is nice

                The opal hunters of the day were again only achieving unspectacular results

                Later: Derren Brown's stage show Something Wicked This Way Comes from 2006, which I went to see at De Montfort Hall. Excellent show

                No need for an alarm tomorrow!

                Goodnight all

                  I'm not sure but yesterday's might have been effective enough to delay my falling asleep last night. Then again it could have been down the book of the week at 00:30.

                  First half of the UFO ep 9 with dear old Philip Madoc and Stephanie Beacham.

                  Dial 999 E33: "Inside Job". Smuggling counterfeit pound note printing plates from Septicland in a box of cigars. Lots of old London in this one, docks et al.

                  Strangest Things. Gold mask. Schliemann Mycenae. A £10 printing plate found in an Austrian lake: the Nazi plot to destory the £. The Folkton drums, the neolithic Long Foot.

                  What on Earth? Stuff you can see from space: Bahama shark mound, Bimini, apparently pointing at "the fountain of youth". The Russian plane brought down over Sinai, bomb not missile, actually caught in satellite image. Mysterious ovals in the eastern US. Hurricane Matthew 2016: looks like a demon's skull from space with something alive at the centre. Cumbrian shape in the landscape: turns out to be a lime kiln.

                    Morning denizens

                    Sunny start out, though apparently we can't expect that to last. It's distinctly milder though: currently 14°C, and not getting any higher than 19°. The barometers are down a touch more at 998/1006mB

                    I had quite a decent night's sleep, though I awoke at seven without any alarm and had to get back to sleep again

                    But the lower back, while not hugely problematic yet, isn't happy with the central sagginess of the mattress, and continues to grumble as it awaits the arrival of the new one next week

                      Morning all

                      Sunny with lumps of fluff. Currently 16 degrees with a high of 21 expected. Rain forecast this evening. Barometer down to 1012 mBar.

                      Woke around 4.30 am but I don't know why. Managed to get back to sleep but tired this morning.

                      Must phone my Mum to remind her a skip is arriving today.
