Hi gang - how's it going? Thought I'd drop by and see what's going on in here.
Blue sky, Simpsonsesque but cold with it here in the Midlands.
Hard to believe but it's been almost three years since my last contract... how time flies. What's it like out there in contractorland at the moment? I must confess I've not been keeping up with things.

Has Janey showed up again yet???
Hi
Don't know about things out in the real world, but I'm into my third year contracting with central government. Now at the point where teams in the department are competing for me when a project ends, so I just roll onto another. Ended up inside IR35 earlier this year for various reasons, but managed to negotiate a decent bump to the rate that left me about even, and it was a good rate to start with - good enough that I've bought my own flat in a very salubrious location, across the park from the university!
I awoke feeling very refreshed. Not sure if this is because I allowed myself to get the full eight hours or so and awake naturally without any alarm, or if it's just that I sleep better knowing I have the next day off
Thin cloud with some wan sunlight making it through outside today. A bit of a breeze too, judging by the arboreal shimmying. Currently 10°C and soaring to 15° later, while the barometers are well down at 990/998mB, with rain expected from mid-afternoon into the night
Cloudy but it looks like lots of the wispy kind rather than the lumpy sort. A bit of a breeze. Currently 12 degrees with a high of 14 this afternoon and rising to 16 degrees overnight . Rain forecast off and on for most of the day. Barometer down to 1002 mBar.
Had to pull a release yesterday evening because something went wrong. I dunno what, that's for the developer to work out.
Walk (abbreviated) walked in the grey gloom before breakfast to avoid the oncoming rain.
Meanwhile on the 19th of July 2019 there was much discussion of The Two Spiders in the then NF bathroom, how the interweb seemed a bit slow that morning, the passing of the deluge into a light drizzle, and NF off to do some shopping having chickened out on running an extension lead into the bathroom to power a webcam thingie.
Down to 988.5 mBar now. .
Lunch: scrambled egg etc.
Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about a woman who scammed a scammer. .
