Morning all

Overcast. Damp ground. Currently 4 degrees with a high of 5 expected. Potential for some rain off and on. Weather app says there's low visibility but it doesn't look that bad out the window. Barometer at 1004 mBar.

I'm going to miss that extra two hours of daylight I've enjoyed for the past week.

Travel home yesterday was uneventful. Had superb cabin crew, like the BA of old.

Back at the coal face this morning.

Lunch: a couple of Greggs sausage rolls

[NickFitz]

Tea has been a chicken and white wine casserole with chips and peas

I concocted the recipe by Googling and reading a few, then putting something together with stuff I had, and it turned out very nice indeed

Tonight's viewing has been 24 Hours in Police Custody which showed the investigation into what must be the most ramshackle, amateurish drug importation scheme ever devised. It'd be funny if it wasn't for the two women who got dragged into it, neither of them being the sharpest tool in the box. At least the courts didn't send them down

And then some more of the Colditz book

Early night now, as I'm supposed to start work at seven in the morning tomorrow. I hope nobody's going to try and argue with me finishing at a concomitant time in the afternoon

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

It's a black start out

Apparently it will be grey later, and there's an 80% chance of rain around lunchtime and then overnight. It'll also get windy. I assume this is due to the storm nobody can pronounce (or not correctly). It's 2°C now (though it "feels like" -2° and will "feel like" -4° by 9am despite being warmer) and leaping up to 7° this afternoon, while the barometers are down a touch more to 990/998mB

[WTFH]

Morning all
Overcast as we started our walk and by the time I had bumped into Paul (friendly bloke from the next village who always says hello to me and Max), it has started to spit.
Now it's raining.

[NickFitz]

Right, the service has been migrated and everybody's happy. Just the one error on the Sentry board I was monitoring, and that was a missing object in S3 which was already missing a couple of weeks ago before the migration, so not our fault

Time for breakfast!

Morning.

Thursday.

Wet, raining slightly.

Grey. Very.

Sunless. Completely.

Chilly in here at 11.1 deg, 9 deg in the kitchen, 8 deg in the leanto.

996 mBar, 29.412 in Hg, 747.1 Torr, 14.445 psi, (down from 1002 last night), 63% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 22nd of December 2019 there was more discussion of "Tinker Tailor" with Obi Wan & how much better it was than the more recent film, there was discussion of the various lurgies going about in those preplague halcyon days, more sympathy share for BR14 & the addled one, while Brillo shared more of Brillo's needful doings taking up much of the page.

It's got much darker & it's hammering down now.

Lunch: brunch.

Entertainment: The Shadow War on R4: those nice chinese stealing everyone's intellectual property left right & centre.

Book.

Sun came out: walk (much abbreviated) walked in sunshine, then the rain returned unbidden.

Freecell score: 100% (of 4), running average: 81%.

Tea: beans on toast etc.

Entertainment: PM.

Thing on ITV about s driving.

Thing on 5 about Cathedrals.

Thing about something else, I forget what. Oh, ufo bollox on Blaze, not that I really watched it but it was on when I was reading stuff about the British Empire.

Morning all

Dull and overcast. Currently 6 degrees ('feels like' 4) with a high of 8 expected. Rain forecast off and on until mid-afternoon when the sun might come out. Barometer down to 1003 mBar.

Sunrise 07:52; Sunset 16:35

I need to do my holiday laundry. Usually, I unpack as soon as I get home but this time I haven't and my case is just lying on the living room floor where I left it after taking out the toiletries I need to use.

[WTFH]

When The Wife was away on her work trip, 4 of her colleagues didn't get their luggage. One of them had an AirTag in it, and that bag was retrieved the quickest. The Wife has come home and decided we should get some, so I've ordered a 4 pack from JLP.
Due for delivery tomorrow. I'm wondering if tracking a parcel containing tracking devices is risking a disruption in the space-time continuum.
