Cold chicken leg and a bag of plain crisps for lunch

Things continue quiet on the ClientGov front, as there's a "workshop" of some kind going on in That London. I obviously didn't go, as I'd really have nothing to contribute anyway, being new to the project

It turns out that every other person on the project is from some consultancy outfit, and it's that which is providing the venue and such. I gather that they get to satisfy personal KPIs and the like by doing this sort of stuff, which explains why they all seemed quite amenable to the idea. I, of course, don't have to suffer any such nonsense

Clothings have been laundered and are draped about to dry.

It's currently bright and sunny, with blue sky visible but the rain forecast for later hasn't gone away.

Some work was done and then I got bored and logged off. I have about a day of billable time left this week so no need to do it all at once!

Today's walk has been walked, starting with a trip over to the place of many bins to drop off some recycling

[NickFitz]

Tea has been oniony chicken casserole with chips and peas

In fact, I didn't have many other options. I need to build up my reserves again

Nice to get home and relax after old fart walk this morning, bookreading group this afternoon and history talk this evening. Last not what I was expecting as lady I know a bit couldn't give the talk but not bad alternative about witches. Modern witches probably fly around on Dyson vacuum cleaners.

Tonight's telly was E1 of Inside Barlinnie about the eponymous Glasgow prison, which is soon to close. Interesting stuff

And then I read a few more chapters of The Founders, in which PayPal finally has its name - though it still thinks it's making a PalmPilot app for splitting bills in restaurants

Thursday (which is now functionally equivalent to Friday for me) tomorrow!

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

There was some rain last night, but this morning it's a rosy-fingered dawn with a clear sky above! It'll get a bit cloudier over the course of the day though. Still relatively mild at 13°C ("feels like" 10°) with an expected high of 16°; the barometers are up a touch at 994/1002mB

Morning.

Thursday.

Awake at sparrowfart again.

Damp.

Dreary.

Grey.

Sunless.

Chilly in here at 16.3 deg, 17 deg in the kitchen, 15 deg in the leanto.

1002 mBar, in Hg, Torr, psi, (up from 998 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 22nd of November 2019 the weather was much the same as above but colder.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the unexpected sunshine.

Lot of rain yesterday judging by the leat: unblocked an overflow pipe.

Leat was overflowing at the two usual places: water level not high enough for the 3rd.

Lunch: there was.

Entertainment: something or other.

Freecell score: 93%, running average: 78%.

Did a bit of gardening: rain shower after I'd been out there 5 minutes: felt rather tired so only managed an hour of hacking brambles and honeyfeckingsuckle, the bane of my life.

Tea: soup etc.

Entertainment: PM <click>

Dozed off for 20 minutes or so. Probably means I'll wake at sparrowfart o'clock again tomorrow.

Nothing to watch on the box so finished off "A legacy of spies" and moved on to "Agent running in the field" as you do.

Freecell score: 100%, running average: 78%.

In today's post: several copies of Commando No. 5794 River of Death, first published as No. 582 in September 1971 and written by my Dad!

Cold chicken leg and a bag of plain crisps for lunch

Same again as there are two legs per pack, though they probably didn't come from the same chicken
