Afternoon all Off to see the paternal figure later.

Lunch: a Pukka steak slice

There's still some fluffy bits hither and yon, but it's generally cleared up and started turning sunny sooner than forecast

Just been advising a ClientCo manager that "requesting a new report 3 months after go live" (my words) is not the same as an "urgent bug fix" (his words).
The system works the way it was designed to based on the requirements that he was involved in creating. If we were not made aware of the requirement during design or testing, and it's taken 3 months after go live for it to be thought up, then it's not a) urgent or b) a bug.

Just went for a local walky as so gray, left my planned one for a nicer day. Lucky got huge open access woods almost on my doorstep.

Popped down and gave the inside of the fridge a quick wash with some warm soapy water, and left the door slightly ajar so it has a chance to dry overnight. I probably didn't do a perfect job, but it's free and no longer has any obvious spills so what more do they want

I would have done it earlier if I'd thought it through, though. The overarching storeroom and all the little storerooms off have concrete floors, which aren't that comfortable to kneel on when it's getting chilly. And as it's dark, I had to come back up and get the head torch so I could see what I was doing without dragging it out under the lights, which are also on countdown timer switches and thus turn off after a couple of minutes anyway

Next, I need to clean the shelves as they're slightly too big for the dishwasher, though the plastic trays from the door and the "salad crisper" ones from the bottom fitted in there. Once that lot's taken down and reinstalled tomorrow, it'll be ready to go to its new home - they're collecting it around 7pm

Tea has been roast chicken thighs and chips with ketchup

Accompanied by a new Police Interceptors - though possibly not that new in terms of the events shown, as it was with Nottinghamshire plod, who were the subjects of preceding series, and the rest of this series has been with Northamptonshire

Dinner was fish and chips from Mick's Chips up the road. They used to be cash only but I see they now take cards.

I didn't leave at 2pm, and will instead leave at 1pm tomorrow.

Hopefully the shower will arrive back from being reconfigured for high pressure water flow in the morning.

More of Shepperton Babylon has been read, pointing out (among other things) that Ealing Studios made a lot more films in genres other than comedy, which was something they only really got into after a number of years making things like Went the Day Well? and Dead of Night

Thursday tomorrow!

Goodnight all

[eek]

Back at hotel after a rather enjoyable visit to the ENO to see Elixir of Love.

£30 for second row seats in the Grand Balcony is not a bad deal...

Morning denizens

Rosy fingered dawn out there, and a little frosty too: -2°C now, aiming for +5° later. As with last week, it's expected to warm back up at the weekend. The barometers have shot back up, to 1015/1024mB
