Hmmm. Wondering whether to bother to go on village group walk at 10. Can I be ar***d?? Hm. Huh. Um.

PS Yeh, may as well. Nice day.

Morning all

Gloriously sunny morning with only a few wisps and chemtrails breaking up the blue. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 14 expected. There might be some rain in the wee hours overnight. Barometer up to 1022 mBar.

Just having a cuppa before heading down to see Mum. Apparently on Friday she turned the heating thermostat down and then complained the radiators weren't getting hot. My brother put the thermostat back up and she's now back in tropical levels of warmth.

[WTFH]

Morning all
Someone forgot to tell Max the clocks were going back.
Misty walk on very dewy ground, but pleasant none-the-less

Early lunch, although it isn't really, of reheated KFC hot wings and popcorn chicken with ketchup

People forget that the extra hour from the clocks changing means lunchtime happens later, so if you're feeling peckish "earlier" than usual, that'll be why

Done a bit of mucking around with the forum, trying to work out why it can't use memcached for cacheing, which I'm hoping will ease the pressure on the database and make things run a bit more smoothly. Turns out vBulletin requires an old memcached PHP library, and the server is only configured with a more recent one. So I've had to ping the people who run the servers with instructions for how to add the missing library

Took Mum to big Tesco. My brother and I made an executive decision to replace her boiler, which he's going to organise.

Tea has been a roast beef dinner

Accompanied by the latest episode of Ambulance
