    Morning denizens

    Rainy grey start, and expected to continue much the same. Kind of warmer though, being 12°C aiming for 15°; but that 12° feels like 5°, apparently. The barometers have plunged back down, to 988/995mB

    I had a patchy night's sleep, but managed to drag myself out of bed and get started on preparing myself for the day. I'm not sure how work will be, given that I'm joining a team for an ongoing project doing rather different stuff; either I get a mellow few days to familiarise myself with what's going on, or I get thrown in at the deep end and have to work it out as I go along. I don't really mind either way, as long as I don't have to think about the previous project at all

      Morning.

      Monday.

      Dreary.

      Grey.

      Sunless.

      Damp.

      No current precipitation.

      No gale.

      Chilly in here at 15.5 deg, 16.5 in the kitchen, 14 in the leanto.

      Meanwhile on the 17th of November 2019 the viewing of S5 of BTVS was approaching its end, celebrated with an individual Xmas pud & custard, whereas NF had roast lamb & all the trimmings.

        Funny coincidence. Wordle and the Telegraph PlusWord have the same answer. Dunno wot 2 do 2day. Tired, low & grumpy. Ted Bundy had fun, maybe I'll try that.

        PS Or maybe I'll just get on with repainting in the kitchen. Don't think you get executed for that.

          Back to work and… nothing

          There's nothing in my Inbox telling me what I should be working on or who I should be working with. Nobody's been in touch on Teams or Slack. My calendar is empty except for a Tuesday meeting related to the old project which couldn't be deleted because the person who set it up left months ago, and the standard departmental stuff. And my contract manager is OoO on some training thing until Thursday, though she doesn't work on Friday so that means all week

          I suppose I should ask around to see if I can find somebody who might know what I'm supposed to be up to

          Once it gets to 12:46, I can invoice for a full day…
