    Morning all Overcast but dry out. Nice 6km walk done mostly in the pitch black, but at least both our torches were fully charged and working.
    Early start as I forgot to do timesheets last week and I have a big meeting this morning which I need to prep for.

      Morning.

      Thursday.

      Dry.

      Grey.

      Sunless.

      Calm.

      Chilly in here at 11.7 deg, 10.5 in the kitchen, 9 in the leanto.

      1029 mBar, 30.386 in Hg, 771.81 Torr, 14.924 psi, (down a tad from 1029 & a tad last night), 61% RH (Lidl electric).

      Meanwhile on the 10th of December 2019 LM agreed with NF that the SJD invoicing thing seemed a bit redundant, NF was playing with that Linux stuff and SQL and things, DaveB was off to the physio, whereas I was watching Yet More BTVS S7 and Angel S4, beginning to tire of both: the end being nigh, while NF was Just Saying No to Drugs after the surgery had randomly changed some drug or other without informing him of the reasoning thereof.

      Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom. Quite chilly out there.

      Lunch: brunch: in addition to the usual I've started consuming some Weetabix (BBE 4/10/2014).

      Entertainment: Y&Y gap finders: the chap who started SuperDry, Sliced Bread: best bits compilation.

      Photocopied the late mater's cookery book: it didn't come out too well, I may scan it on the old scanner on the win98 box (assuming that still boots & works, like).

      Entertainment: WWII fighter planes.

      Nazi Hunters: Himmler. Suicide. Or was it murder by the evil British? Files locked until 2045.

      UFO bollox: Brookhaven & Livermore labs. are they being surveilled by LGM?

      Some walk or other on BBC4.

      Dalgleish S3 E3. Still nowhere near the Roy Marsden version from 1985.

        Lunch of sardine toasties, being the "in tomato sauce" variant

        Not too bad a morning, now that there's some stuff to do. I was pairing with a chap who'll carry on once I'm done for the year - except he finishes for the year tomorrow, so I'm not sure things will end up going much further until January

              Indeed

              Tea has been a roast beef dinner, including pigs in blankets to give it a suitably celebratory touch

              This was accompanied by the most recent episode of 24 Hours in Police Custody. A very sad story

                No more telly tonight, but more Sassoon read

                Holiday time may have begun, but I have the dentist tomorrow; just a checkup, or at least I hope so. So it's an early night again

                Goodnight all

                  Morning all
                  Slept in, so the walk was only about 4km. Murky and overcast out, and it's been drizzling overnight.

                  TFIF, etc.

                    Morning denizens

                    Yet another grey day out. Mild enough for the time of year once again, being 5°C and soaring to 6° later, while the barometers are down rather at 1015/1023mB. I don't think there's been any rain, and the damp concrete is just a sign of a heavy dew; nor is rain predicted for later

                    Sainsbury's have proven to be a broken reed in the matter of supplying tins (not plastic tubs) of Quality Street. They're delivering such other items from the list as they've been able to scavenge from the bins round the back some time between 15:12 and 16:12
