Morning denizens

Sunny start which is expected to do that thing of turning cloudy this morning, then back to sunny again in the evening. It's 14°C and only expected to reach 21°, which is relatively cool compared to some recent days, while the barometers is about the same at 998/1005mB

Most importantly: Friday!

Blue skies and pleasant out. A little cool at the start of our walk (12C), but at least I didn't come back dripping in sweat.

Afternoon all

Cloudy with some sun trying to poke through. Dry. Currently 22 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer up a snifter to 1011 mBar.

Hung over this morning so having a slow start to the day. HWMBO and I met one of his friends for cocktails and dinner yesterday and had a very marvellous time.

ClientCo have paid my last invoice.

Need to figure out if I can learn enough about Dynamics 365 to spoon it into my CV and blag a BA role.

UEFA Football Championship, Wimbledon and now bleedin' Olympics. Boring! Think I'll migrate to Brazil, summit worth watching there.

Lunch: ham toasties

While I was preparing those, four magpies showed up on the lawn, which is quite unusual - they usually come in couples or singly. Initially it looked like the two pairs were going to ignore each other and get on with pecking whatever it is they peck down there, but before long the situation had degenerated into territorial chivvying, until in the end the bigger ones chased the slightly smaller ones away

Finished the week by finding a bug in another team's code, which has been there without them noticing since March

Unfortunately, it's also my problem as it's in data they send to another service, and my thing gets in the middle and converts that data into a different form suitable for sending to yet another service. So if they send invalid data, my thing falls over and gets the blame

I'm waiting until Monday to raise it with them. Either they fix it, or my thing has to accommodate their bug in some way. I think we'll easily win any argument over which it'll be, as we can just point to where their data is ending up and show that it's having additional consequences there, which they would have noticed if they monitored their stuff as they're supposed to

But for now: let the weekend commence!

[NickFitz]

Tea has been Harissa Lamb Tagine (Sainsbury's pre-digested range) with chunky chips and peas. Very nice, though another where I'm tempted to find a recipe and make it myself next time

To accompany this, the Olympics Opening Ceremony. Just seems to be a lot of foreigners in boats so far
