Meanwhile on the 22nd of November 2019 NF had a chicken leg for lunch, gave us a picture of the downstairs flat's destroyed door replaced with chipboard, then had a lamb shank for tea, whereas xogg was contacted by someone he'd worked in 2003 about some software he might have written, it transpiring that they wanted an updation of the needful doings.

Morning all, Sussex by the Sea calling

Wet and windy, complete opposite to yesterday. Currently 15 degrees with a high of 18 expected. Barometer at 1010 mBar.

The family get together yesterday was good. Mum enjoyed herself very much but it remains to be seen how much she'll remember of it.

I'll be heading home about 12 and am not looking forward to the drive in this weather.

Invasion of the darn sister this week. Grrrr. Her positive atitude annoys me. Got on much better with nephew who stayed few weeks back, miserable git like me.

Lunch: sausages and bacon sandwiched in buttered white toast. It's about a week's calories in one go, but very nice

After wind and driving rain through much of the morning and early afternoon, it's suddenly started to clear up and is now turning sunny out there

[NickFitz]

Mundane laundry on

[ladymuck]

The drive home wasn't terrible earlier this afternoon as the rain wasn't too heavy and visibility was good.

Managed to get a reasonably decent parking space a couple of doors up the road.

Tea has been some leftover bits from Saturday's takeaway

Accompanied by Ambulance for the BBC has started a new series thereof, back in London this time

[NickFitz]

Further viewing tonight was an old episode of 24 Hours in A&E

And then I read a couple more chapters of The Founders. Technology genius Elon Musk has insisted that PayPal's entire Linux-based tech stack be rewritten using Microsoft stuff, leading to a situation where certain servers have to be rebooted every thirteen seconds because of memory leaks. Meanwhile, business genius Elon Musk has become so obsessed with naming everything "X" that the rest of the senior executive team are plotting to get rid of him

Monday tomorrow, but I have to say I don't find it quite as bad after a three day break and knowing that it's only a four day week (for me; sorry, everybody else)

It's very windy out there - 40mph gusts, apparently

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

Dark out to start with, though it's getting lighter now. Looks like it's overcast and will stay that way after a windy night, which has settled back to just a breeze now. It's currently 10°C but feels like 5° due to said breeze, with an expected high of 14° this afternoon. The barometers are bouncing back at 1005/1013mB

[WTFH]

Morning all
Overcast but dry out. Lots of cider bubbling away in demijohns in the office.
