    Lunch: pork bap (wholemeal) with apple sauce, and a bag of plain crisps

    Comment


      Tea has been sausages with chips and beans

      The cloud cleared a bit later in the day, but that means it'll get a bit colder tonight. Only down to 1° though, so not too bad

          I watched a new episode of Traffic Cops earlier. This series seems inordinately long; I wonder if they had loads on hold because of delays in the courts, so now they're just going to keep pumping them out until the backlog is cleared

          I've also found time for some more playing around with bits of GameplayKit, in particular the Entity-Component stuff. I've reached the point with that where it's suddenly gelled, and as a result I'm finding loads of stuff that seemed as if it would be pretty complicated has become much simpler

          And I've read a bit more of Apollo 13 in which they've stirred the tanks as requested, but it doesn't seem to have worked out as planned

          Friday-equivalent Thursday tomorrow!

          Goodnight all

            Morning denizens

            Clear sky, peach coloured to the east and with a just-past-full moon still quite high in the west, so probably a sunny day once the sun gets up. Chilly but not frosty at 1°C, only reaching 6° later. The barometers are steady at 1021/1029mB

              Bedding wash out of the WM and pegged out on the line, after which I couldn't feel my hands.

                  Morning all
                  Fog/low cloud was a lot thicker this morning, to the point that the ground was wet, and the best way to use my head torch was carrying it at waist level.
                  Walk has been walked. The sun is burning off the fog.
                  …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                    Morning all

                    Cloudy but much less windy than yesterday. The sun is due to make more of an appearance this afternoon. Currently 19 degrees with a high of 21 expected. Barometer up to 1028 mBar.

                    Sunrise 08:10; Sunset 18:26

                    We had a lovely day yesterday; mooched about the town, bought swimming costumes. Then headed back there in the evening for a fantastic dinner.

                    Have had a couple of interesting approaches on Linkedin which I will be properly following up next week.

                      Turning a bit foggy here

                      I heard the lift going earlier, so an engineer must have been! No idea if they've managed to fix it, mind. Nobody seems to have used it since, but a lot of people use the stairs anyway most of the time, so it isn't unusual to only hear it a couple of times a day.
