    Morning all
    TFIF, etc.
    Slept in this morning, which was nice, but it means MMtSH has only had a run round the garden, although The Wife is off today so she will take him out later.

    Just doing a bit of digging on a user with multiple profiles, which is fun, but sometimes people think I ask "aggressive" questions in the Prof forums, because they can't see what I see.

      Morning.

      Friday.

      Dry.

      Grey.

      Sunless.

      Cooler side of not so warm at 20.4 deg in here, 21.5 deg in the kitchen, 19.5 in the leanto.

      1011 mBar, 29.855 in Hg, 758.3 Torr, 14.6633 psi, (up from 1007 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

      Meanwhile on the 14th of October 2019 NF had a hotdog for lunch, some oiks were blocking a junction only used by public transport in that London, BR14 suggested the use of an AX50 on cyclists, whereas WTFH suggested an AT308 would suffice without the overpenetration problems of the former, it was raining on NF, and VWDan was fed up with autumn already.

      Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom and wan sunshine. A car from that Scotland was spotted up by the res.

      Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

      Entertainment: some green crap about recycling oil rigs. <click>

      The thing at 13:45: Buried, or how American multinationals spewed toxic tulipe all over the world and in defunct quarries around Cardiff in particular.

      Veronica Mars S3 E20 "The bitch is back". Veronica gets her mojo back just in time for the series cancellation. .

      Well that was a non ending. And the movie is next up.

      S4 was made in 2019.

      Tea: soup etc.

      Entertainment: PM.

      Veronica Mars S1 E21, and part of E22 until it irritated me & I finished a book instead.

      Freecell score: 75%, running average: 86%.

          Morning all, local time 0931

          Sunny with fluff. Currently 30 degrees ('feels like' 36) with a high of 31 expected. Rain forecast this evening.

          Yesterday was fraught with stress as I had to learn how to drive an automatic. HWMBO had requested a manual but none was provided. Turns out my ingrained habit of using the clutch when slowing down results in me doing emergency stops at inopportune moments. I literally have to plant my left foot in the footwell and make a conscious mental effort to not move it.

          The second challenge is that the controls for the windscreen wipers and lights/indicators are swapped over so I keep turning the wipers on when I want to indicate.

          The bus drivers are psychopaths.

          In the duty free store in Bridgetown the rum is about a tenner. We will be returning to stock up before we head home. Not sure what day we're doing distillery tours.

            Yes, the first time one drives an automatic can be inneresting. .

            And the stalks reversing position is another pain.

            All good clean fun though.

                Sunnier start than the last couple of days, though still with a fair bit of wispy stuff artistically arranged. No overly unpleasant temperatures expected, being 14°C and restraining itself to 20° later. The barometers are rallying somewhat at 1001/1009mB

                Friday!

                And less than a week left of election bulltulip before we start with the "It's been nearly five minutes now, why haven't they fixed the country yet?" bulltulip

                  Yes! We have it planned in for this evening

                    I assumed that my failure to submit my timesheet for last week until Wednesday afternoon meant I'd have to wait until next week for it to be processed, but they've done it today and paid via Faster Payments! Nice to be with an agency that can make up for my pathetic failure to keep up with the most basic administrative tasks

                    This week's timesheet has been done, so they won't have to deal with my nonsense next week

                      In other basic task news, I managed to get the mundane laundry done this morning

                      Tomorrow, I've got an appointment with the dental hygienist. Present me was initially annoyed with past me from six months ago for arranging it for a Saturday, but then remembered that they only let the hygienist in on Saturdays, presumably so they can keep the real money-spinning treatment going at full tilt during the week
