Morning.

Wednesday.

Wet. Horizontally wetly drizzly.

Misty: can't see the other side of the valley, boyo.

Grey.

Sunless.

Cool in here at 18.1 deg, 18 in the kitchen, 17 in the leanto.

1007 mBar, 29.74 in Hg, 755.3 Torr, 14.6 psi, (down from 1013 last night), 70% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 17th of February 2020 AndyGarbs, opm, Brillo, and Churchill popped in, the latter with concerns about flooding down by 'ere, and his little lad had been away with the cubs, the water had drained from the bottoms of the gardens which was good, WTFH saw a patch of blue sky, as did I though it didn't last long, NF was reading a neurosurgeon's book, and I was wondering WTF "Homeland" had been about for S4, 5, & 6.

Freecell score in the endless drizzle: 85%, running average: 84%. Better than last night's 74%.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the drone of the dehumidifier.

Today I will be taking yea olde jalopy to an air conditioning specialist to get the definitive verdict on what's needed to get the air conditioning working again. It's not worked for two years and it's this time of year when it's needed most. In the summer, I just drive with the windows open and cover the leather seats. In the winter, the car mists up and clearing the windscreen is a challenge. I know the clutch that operates the compressor has failed but I don't know if that one part is replaceable or if it's a "whole unit" job. An estimate I got over the phone in March suggests that it's going to cost north of a grand to sort out.

Another day done! Despite meetings, I managed to get stuff done to the extent that I'll be demoing it in the fortnightly Show & Tell tomorrow

As I managed to keep my commit history fairly well structured and with meaningful comments, I've just checked and I'll be able to checkout a specific commit and demo how the UI for this bit of the app used to work (clunky), then checkout the latest version and show how it now works (elegant)

Demo went OK!

Last time, our team went last, so I assumed I'd have about an hour to think it through while other teams chuntered on about what they'd been doing. First thing I saw when I woke the work laptop was "We're going first!" Oh well, probably best to get it out of the way

Morning.

Greyer, wetter, more depressing than yesterday.

Meeting at school first thing to try sorting primary to secondary transition for eldest. What fun. Now in the office - more fun.

Is it nearly time to start thinking about a CUK Christmas do?

That sounds like you're volunteering...

Rain's stopped. Sky's still grey. Wind's still windy

After a morning of mostly meetings, the afternoon will be mostly meetings
