    Morning all
    Dry in the sky, but wet on the ground. A pleasant perambulation earlier.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      Morning.

      Tuesday apparently.

      Another dream of university, not having paper to take notes, and blackboards that extend upwards to infinity & beyond faster than one can write. I was glad to wake up.

      Wetly damp or damply wet.

      Grey.

      Sunless with hints that it might reconsider.

      Chilly in here at 16.4 deg, 16.5 in the kitchen, 14.5 in the leanto.

      1020.5 mBar, 30.1353 in Hg, 765.44 Torr, 14.8 psi, (up from 1017 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

      Meanwhile on the 23rd of November 2019 Twitter reckoned that NF's interest was in Amber Rudd, and a little later he was "In the Chinese" , whereas I was cooking chilli con carne and watching yet more BTVS (the singing one & the one where they forget who they are), whereas LM had to order a soundbar due to inadvertently ordering a telebox that had connectors of a new & different kind, which is always irritating.

      Freecell score in the ongoing drizzle: 93%, running average: 79%.

      Lunch: there was.

      Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine, though there were dark clouds across the valley on my way back.

      Tea: beans on toast etc.

      Entertainment: PM <click>

      Digging for Britain: Roman cavalry <click>

      The Bad Skin Clinic: eczema. lipoma. horrid growth behind ear. keloids on a chap's ears.

      Digging up Britain's past: Robin Hood. Bad King John's palace in Nottingham etc.

        Afternoon all

        Sunny and dry with lumps of fluff hanging about. Currently 16 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer up to 1025 mBar.

        Lunch was a cheese and mushroom omelette.

          Ended up doing some work today, though interspersed with various breaks while other people had meetings. It's a bit quieter on this project than it was on the one where I was sole developer, so I'm having to get used to the idea of having a pretty stress-free working day

          Lunch earlier was a Pukka steak slice

              Tonight's viewing was a new episode of Traffic Cops. This was tacked on to a series that was last updated a while ago, I think, so it may have been one of those that had to wait for some legal stuff to finish before it could be broadcast

              And then I read most of the rest of The Founders, in which a Musk-free (well, he was still the biggest shareholder) PayPal had a successful IPO, was bought by eBay, and eventually grew so big that it was spun off as a separate business again

              Having a four-day week means I don't have a hump day. I suppose tonight could be called hump night, but people might get the wrong impression. Anyway, for me, half the week is done!

              Goodnight all
