Rubbish and recycling have been carted over to the Place of the Bins

And while I was sorting that out, I set my MBA to work upgrading to the new version of MacOS, mainly because I want to have a play with the new SwiftData APIs

^^^No Chinese! Up before midday on a Sunday! WTF is going on?

The world turned upside-down

[NickFitz]

Couple of leftover KFC drumsticks for lunch

[NickFitz]

Tea has been oniony sausage casserole with chips and peas

There's been a little bit of light drizzle but other than that, it's just been grey and a bit breezy. Mild though

[NickFitz]

This afternoon saw the usual run of US borders and NZ police

And then a bit of time playing around with SwiftData

Later: the standard Sunday evening fare of the latest episode of Ambulance and a couple of old episodes of 24 Hours in A&E

I'd better get to sleep now. It promises to be a busy week: there's all the remaining stuff from the not-actually-ended project to do, plus it's my first week on a new project with a new team

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

Slightly misty start; the sun looks like it might break through the fairly wispy cloud soon, though the forecast says not. Currently 13°C, with 18° being the expected high, and the barometers are steady at 1006/1014mB

Morning all, 0910 Oslo time

Misty this morning. Currently 11 degrees with a high of 16 expected.

Check out is at noon and we'll be off to catch our flight to Doha then onto Bangkok. Had a lovely time in Oslo, would recommend!

JoP <- very strong JoP <- a bit.

The Fast and the Furious (1954) so thankfully free of Vin fecking Diesel et al.

Union with David Olusoga.

Fuzz (1972) with that Burt Reynolds cove, plus Raquel Welch. It's from an 87th Precinct novel by Ed McBain (something you'd be unlikely to see in a bookshop these days, I looked the other day). Meyer Meyer is supposed to be bald. I suppose they thought having two bald guys might confuse the punters. . It's a comedy apparently, though I'd quite happily get rid of the painters.

Back from sister's. Had a drink with old workmate while there and stayed at old uni mate's house for couple of nights on way back. Both with various serious medical conditions, glad I ain't like that yet.

Crazy problem with Excel. Bing API link to get drive miles ain't working. Click link and page opens with completely wrong key. Yet copy and paste into browser and page is ok with right key. Makes no sense.
