Project meeting has been had, and Max produced a good plan, which I filed in the red filing cabinet.

Later viewing was part two of The Space Shuttle That Fell to Earth. I get why NASA has very rigid, data-driven procedures, but some of the stuff in here looked a lot more like managers not wanting to stick their heads above the parapet

Early(ish) night now in the hope that the lurgy dies back a bit overnight

Goodnight all

Proper chips or oven chips?

Morning denizens

Grey start again, and actually getting darker than it was when I got up. I was going to say that at least it's not raining, but it's expected to start about now and continue for the rest of the day. Rather breezy too. It's mild enough, at 9°C - but that's the high for the day, heading down to 5° by teatime and colder still overnight. The barometers are well down at 970/978mB

Proper chips or oven chips?

Just oven chips this time. The deep fat fryer needs a service, which I really must get around to doing soon

Morning all
Got soaked to the skin on our walk earlier - a torrential downpour blew through for 20 minutes.
Now drying off as the weather improves.

Morning.

Thursday.

Dark.

Dank.

Dreary.

Wet. Hammering down earlier. The river is looking rather full. And it's almost low tide.

Freecell score: 100%, running average: 86%.

Walk timed exactlywrong: the rain began as I walked out of the door & I gave up after 15 minutes.

Lunch: baked spud etc.

Entertainment: A good read. Noon News <click>

NZ customs. Antlers.

Canadian customs <click>

Oz Customs: British chap, visiting his brother who's recently lost his wife, with a year's probation gets turned back, while a Black American chap who'd served 12 years inside gets let in. Odd. Usual chinese "food".

Sun came out, went for another walk, got about halfway when the sun went behind a big black cloud so I came back. It's colder out there.

Tea: chilli con carne: hasn't improved much during its brief sojourn in the freezer.

Entertainment: PM.

Morning all

Dull. Wet. Raining. Currently 12 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer down to 983 mBar and falling.

Yesterday the garage said that there was nothing wrong with my car and that it had just gotten damp inside although they couldn't find any faulty seals. So they cleaned out the various drainage holes and left it at that. No charge. Apparently I need to get a little dehumidifier as otherwise it'll take a few months to dry out.

Lunch has been pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce, and a bag of plain crisps

It's rained heavily for much of the morning, but seems to have stopped for now
