    Morning everyone

    Grey and dull here - looks like it's about to drizzle.

    I've gone into the office to see a different set of four walls for the day. Luckily it's fairly quiet and the shoutiest service desk and HR types aren't in right now.

      Morning.

      Tuesday?

      Dry.

      Grey.

      Wanly sunny (using some imagination).

      Chilly in here at 17.5 deg, 17.5 in the kitchen, 16.5 in the leanto, 15.5 in the salting house.

      1025 mBar, 30.27 in Hg, 768.8 Torr, 14.866 psi, (up from 1023.5 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).

      Meanwhile on the 23rd of February 2020 LM watched a prog about the V&A, xogg's nephew worked there, eek and BR14 popped in, I had some rice pud, and NF had crinkle cut chips.

      Washing frenzy Part Deaux in progress.

      Walk (unabreviated, towpath) walked in the grey gloom. Two actual conversations on the way back. Probly my lot for this week.

      Gosh. Here I was expecting Am Dro this afternoon & it turns out there isn't one. . I think we've have our 4 for this year.

      Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about how the government inspired house insulation scheme fell prey to scammers & bad workmanship. Who'd have thunk?

      Am Dro. .

        Afternoon all

        Overcast, quite dull. Currently 12 degrees with a high of 14 expected. Possibility of some minor precipitation. Barometer up to 1030 mBar.

        Sunrise 07:24; Sunset 18:10 BST

        Meetings this morning, including this month's 'knowledge share' at ConsultancyCo. The knowledge shares are on multiple topics that are of personal interest to the person presenting them, rather than being work-focussed. I don't always turn up to them as they are either about something I'm not bothered about or they clash with other stuff. Today's was about LLMs and the discussion point being 'can LLMs truly understand?'. The consensus was no.

        This morning the bed was stripped and left to air, and all items have been laundered and draped around to dry.

          Lunch: a couple of roast chicken thighs out of the freezer

          I cooked these the other week but now can't remember what herbs and spices I used on them. Quite nice though

            I don't believe you missed anything exciting, though who knows what goes in in the bowels of General (specifically)

                This thread seems to be the only one that gets much traffic nowadays.

                How things have changed since the glory days of 200 posts/per day & people complaining, Specifically in General. of posters they'd never heard of with post counts in the 1000s. .

                Did WTFH miss much?

                Not that I noticed. .

                Gosh. The Gorn commented on it too. .

                And it took pages and pages and pages on the 30th of October 2014 to find this.
