Morning denizens
Sunny start out. It's playing it a bit cooler again; currently 6°C, only reaching 14° later. The barometers are back up a touch at 993/1001mB
I see the expected rain is due for the long Bank Holiday weekend

Lunch has been some leftover chicken tikka bits from Saturday night. Very tasty and zingy
Due to the sudden departure of a bunch of people from the consultancy (despite them getting the contract renewal) I find myself able to work largely on my own, rather than having to "pair" or "mob". I much prefer it this way, and it's also a lot easier on my ears now I don't have AirPods in for most of the day

Tea has been proper student food: curried mince and chips
It isn't a recipe that would be recognised by Madhur Jaffrey, being just fried mince and onions in gravy with a load of curry powder chucked in. But it has nostalgia value, and it's cheap and tasty
