Tea: chicken madras with rice and naan

It turned gloomy again later in the afternoon, and now we've got drizzle which will last a fair chunk of the night

Oh well, it's good for the daffodils

[NickFitz]

Telly tonight consisted solely of a new episode of Traffic Cops

Other than that, I did some more mucking around with SceneKit

Two more days to the long weekend. I'm about ready for it. In fact, I'm ready for more than just four days off, but I'm taking a whole week late in April for my birthday, so I just have to stick it out until then

Goodnight all

Morning all, Dublin calling

Cold, dark, wet. Currently 7 degrees ('feels like' 3) with icy rain and a cold wind.

Currently in Dublin Airport T1 waiting for my 7.10 am flight to Heathrow.

Morning denizens

Sunny start for a change, after some overnight rain. Breezy though, and expected to get more so, along with some potential drizzle around lunchtime. It's a mild 7°C but not getting past 10° (and that only briefly in late morning) while the barometers are down even more, at 966/974mB

Bon voyage

Still seems very strange to me that you have to fly from London to Dublin for the sole purpose of flying back to London to get to Mexico

It's probably either/both:
1. Save on flight tax because the tax on flying to Dublin is a lot less than the tax flying to Mexico, and then if you are just In Transit through LHR on the other flight then you pay a minimal tax.
2. She needed one more sector/a couple more points to stay BA Gold, and the flight did that.

But more likely, it's a late birthday present from HWMBO, who forgot it was her birthday last month and thought a trip to Dublin would make up for it.

Morning all
A bit precipitous earlier, mostly when we were about 3km from home and from then until we got in the door, so only a meagre 7.52km walked.

Morning.

Wednesday.

After the old farty arty thing I called in on loony lady 3 to help with problem with her phone. Took about 10s, she had the base unit upside down!

Xogg Om.

Dark.

Dank.

Dreary.

Grey.

Sunless.

Wet.

Hammering down & blowing a gale overnight.

13.4 deg in here, 12.5 deg in the kitchen, 11.5 deg in the leanto.

974 mBar, 28.7622 in Hg, 730.56 Torr, 14.1266 psi, (down from 979 last night), 76% RH (GDR hair), 71% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 10th of September 2019 the library computers didn't compute due to ongoing updations, much effort was expended in extracting roots from the bit of garden I was turning into more lawn, Die Hard II was viewed. and BR14 didn't have anything i related other than the iRon.

The sun came out: thusly The Walk (unabbreviate) walked in the sunshine, gradually replaced by increasingly gloom gloom. Very gloomy now.

Compared with yesterday's no scarf etc. today the scarf was pressed into service, removed for a while, put back on, then removed again as circumstances required.

Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

Entertainment: thing about The Terminator on iPlayer. Bits of Y&Y waffling on about the dire quality of new houses.

Dunno what's wrong with me today: can't get Freecell higher than 78%, and one attempt was 65%.

Oz customs: the usual usual. Thai food including mouldy dead frogs. Vietnamese chap with "only fish" found to have the usual boxes of inadmissable stuff: $460 fine.

Tea: soup etc.

Entertainment: PM.

The Mentalist S1 E23: "Red John's Footsteps". The twins one.

Freecell score: 89%, running average: 86%. Better but still no cigar.

Morning fellow denizens!

Grey and dull here in the Midlands, although the sun has been making a valiant effort to shine through.

Having one of my periodic bursts of wondering what I'm doing today. Been in the Civil Service as a permie almost three years now and out of my technical specialism for 18 months. I keep almost putting in my notice to jump back to the contract world and then seeing the mortgage that needs paying and my pension gradually growing... and don't do it.

Knees hurt this morning. I passed forty a couple of years ago and my body seems to be gradually packing up in ways it never did before.

How are you chaps keeping?

Hi

I'm OK thanks - keeping busy working with the Civil Service as a contractor!

My right arm's never been the same since last year's Covid jab, though I don't know if it was that or RSI showing up at the same time. I've almost given up on my knees ever getting back to a half-decent state
