    Morning all
    Didn't sleep well, but managed 8.89km walk this morning, so already hit the 10,000 steps.
    It was murky when we went out, but that's clearing up and I can even see some blue sky.

      Morning.

      Monday.

      Grey.

      Sunless.

      Damp and misty earlier.

      Chilly in here at 14.1 deg, 13 in the kitchen, 13 in the leanto, 12.6 deg in the saltinghouse.

      1010.5 mBar, 29.84 in Hg, 757.94 Torr, 14.656 psi, (up from 1010 last night), 75% RH (GDR hair), 67 % RH (Lidl electric).

      Meanwhile on the 7th of September 2019 the word of the day was "anfractuosity", a term for which I've found little use, whereas NF was off out to the pub, which threw the expected viewing of John Wick III in some doubt.

      Shirts in the WM.

      Shirts out of the WM and out on the line.

      Smalls in the WM.

      Smalls out of the WM & out on the line.

      Cottons in the WM.

      Shopping trip to Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

      Cottons out of the WM and out on the line.

      Lunch: scrambled egg etc. Very poor effort for some reason.

      Entertainment: NZ Motorway Patrol. Watched this one before.

      NZ customs. 2002's finest.

      Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

      Canadian customs thing. The usual septics who don't realise it's Another Country.

      Oz customs thing: Chinese family with 15 bags of luggage go through minus 45kg of "foods" and minus $360 in fines for not declaring. Some Korean chap with a slight gambling problem, two credit cards belonging to other people refused entry: he's lost $1M and had come back hoping to win some back. It didn't happen. The AFP confiscated the cards which were then destroyed.

      Shirts & cottons & smalls in off the line, those that required the iRon met the iRon.

      All airing upstairs.

      Tea: soup etc.

      Entertainment: UFO hunters. Oh feck, the bollox is strong in this one: Dulce Base under Archuleta Mesa: Alien/human hybrids etc etc etc.

      The Mentalist S1 E16 "Bloodshot": the one where Patrick is temporarily blinded.

      1980s TV with the opera singer chap. Boring. Even reading the latest book was better.

      NCIS S20 E8 "Turkey Trot". :. Never a good sign when one of the talent writes the script. Stone me. Boring.

      Car SOS S11 E9 Jeep Grand Cherokee I wonder if I'll actually watch this. It seems much less inneresting than it used to. Boring.

        That's good, you obviously ain't an old fart yet. Was tired yesterday morning after another crappy night and was tempted to skip me local woodland volunteer thing at 9.30 but went anyway. Prob. best not to give up on things.

                Get loads of spam emails to my main account. Dunno how anyone falls for this stuff. An email address of [email protected] is not exactly convincing.

                  Lunch was assorted charcuterie in a wholemeal butty, with a bag of plain crisps

                  Bit of a wasted day today. Stuff which was working on Friday had stopped working over the weekend for no obvious reason. Spent ages digging through logs and single-stepping through code, and eventually discovered that the infrastructure people have stuck SSO in front of our API server, rendering it inaccessible to things like the Lambda function that uses the API. No idea why they did this over the weekend, after a year of it being fine without

                  Anyway, it means that the code I spent much of the day poring over hadn't suddenly stopped working after all - it's just never being executed because the HTTP requests are being knocked back before they even reach it

                    VPN, not SSO

                    Tea has been sausages with chips and beans

                      The cough is being a PITA (where A = abdomen) this evening.

                      It seems that sitting in a chair all day doesn't hurt the abs but lying down does. And if I sit up in bed to cough, they still hurt.
