A productive day had. Finally got rid of my old printer and the chap who came to look at my bush yesterday returned to give it a good trim. Did a very good job for a very reasonable price.

Ooh err, missus!

Tonight's only viewing was an old Police Interceptors to go with the pie and chips

Other than that and a little light stalking, I mainly read silly nonsense online

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

Foggy start this morning, which isn't what I was expecting

The fog will presumably clear but it's expected to remain cloudy, and the rain is due from lunchtime and on into the night. Currently 11°C and not expected to get any higher than 15°; the barometers are up a little though, at 994/1002mB

[WTFH]

Morning all
Was very misty in the valley when we headed out at 6am, but we stayed above the mist, which has now completely burned off. Looks like it's going to be a warm one.
9.something km walked, 11k steps

That was in a PM, wasn't it? It was the buddleia that gave the game away

Twas an impressive buddleia back then, it must be said. It's not there now.

Moving up the road a little one can spot the decaying veranda roof thing over the bay window that was held up by a bit of string/aerial cable/whatever. The council made him take it down which gave rise to the installation of the bit of board that lived on top of the bay window for about 15 years.

Morning.

Thursday.

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky in parts.

Cool in here at 18.3 deg, 18.5 deg, 18 deg in the leanto, 15 deg in the saltinghouse.

1000.5 mBar, 29.5447 in Hg, 750.436 Torr, 14.511 psi, (up from 993 last night), 77% RH (GDR hair), 71% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 28th of September 2019 it was raining old women & sticks around here, NF went to the Chinese, and an assortment of space epics were watched, being "Ad Astra" and "Serenity". Wxman was mentioned, but not what happened to him.

Dire night's sleep: playing Freecell until 02:30 wasn't a good idea.

Cupboard drawers duly washed out, the cutlery tidy thing duly washed & dried, more moths killed.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the wan sunshine and intermittent grey gloom.

Lunch: beans on toast (cheesy) etc.

Entertainment: Y&Y Gapfinders: card payment thingies for very small businesses. Y&Y Sliced Bread: air fresheners.

Veronica Mars S2 E11 "Donut Run". The runaway father one. As opposed to the father in gaol one or the Veronica in gaol one. Penultimate appearance for her boyfriend.

Much cleaning of the springs, many spiders disturbed, many moths executed with extreme prejudice. Just when you think you've offed them all, another one appears as if by magick.

Tea: soup etc.

Entertainment: PM.

Work wise, the day was a bit meh.

Brazilian chap, was he?

Morning all

Overcast but reasonably bright. Light showers off and on all morning, clearing up mid afternoon. Currently 16 degrees with a high of 17 expected. Barometer up a snifter to 1007 mBar.

Much tinkering with Power BI this morning. Looks like my part time stint will come to an end this month so the clock is very much ticking on finding another gig. Sod all out there though.

Still haven't found another place to move to, either.

Homeless and jobless, awesome! What benefits can I claim?

[NickFitz]

Lunch: Heinz oxtail soup and white toast

Raining off and on now, and more on than off

[ladymuck]

We have an unhappy client who didn't like hearing that their requested changes to their dashboard couldn't be done until Monday at the earliest because the consultancy has put me on a 3 day week and I was clocking off as soon as the meeting ended.

Mentioned it to the PM who asked if I'd consider swapping working this afternoon for extra time off next week. Fine in principle if they're assuming I don't have plans for the time they said they didn't need me to work.

Now considering how generous I want to be...

[ladymuck]

I decided to be generous and do the work as I prefer to maintain a good relationship with Heathrow than the consultancy. Will now have to talk to the director on Monday about whether I swap the time or bill for it. Hopefully the latter, seeing as I'm now being asked to attend a meeting on the day I would have taken off.

Sausages (Lincolnshire), chips and beans for tea

It's still raining. The trees seem to be enjoying it, though, and the usual pigeons, squirrels, and so forth haven't been put off from doing whatever it is they all do down there on the big lawn
