No loony ladies today. Really nice day for a wonky. Drop by not loony lady next door before I go.

Lunch: leftover pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap. Not that different to yesterday’s lunch, but I’m a bit short of lunch stuff again
Quite sunny out, though there seem to be a few more clumps of cloud drifting about

Another busy day, but just one more to go - this time tomorrow, I’ll be done with ClientGov for the year!

Tea has been lamb chops with the rest of the potato cakes, and beans
This was accompanied by the rest of an episode of Traffic Cops that I started watching a few days ago

In Mogadishu, GSG 9 stormed the hijacked airliner and rescued all the hostages with only a few minor injuries. One of the hijackers just about survived. And so the Americans, realising that they wouldn’t have been able to do that, have asked the Germans to help them set up the unit now known as Delta Force
Goodnight all

Morning denizens
Rosy-fingered dawn out there today, with various wisps and strands of cloud scattered around the horizon, while a higher layer towards the zenith is so thin that the just-past-waning-gibbous moon shines through. It’s 7°C yet “feels like” 1°, with an expected high of 11°, and expected to be a bit breezy with sunny spells. The barometers are decidedly up at 1005/1013mB
My last day of ClientGov work for the year beckons!

^^^Om.
Morning.
Thursday.
Dry.
Grey.
Hints of wan sun.
Chilly in here at 15 deg, 13 in the kitchen, 12.5 in the leanto, 9 in the saltinghouse.
1011 mBar, 29.85 in Hg, 758.3 Torr, 14.66 psi, (down from 1014 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 5th of March 2020 WTFH arrived on a jet plane at Heathrow, NF was watching a Murder programme, and Brillo popped in a lot.
Washing frenzy in progress.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the thing at 11:45: about the Norse influence on the Shetlands (rather than continuity who implied it was yesterday's epic about bog bodies).
The items requiring the iRon came in off the line, were iRoned, and now reside upstairs airing a bit.
The remaining items came in off the line & met the TD.
Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the grey gloom. Met a lady who used to work for Siliconix back in the day and confirmed it was she who I thought it was.
Everything out of the TD & airing upstairs: 3/4 of a cup of water out of the TD.
Now getting outside a mug of mediocre but consistent coffee: entertainment: part of a thing about lichen.
Raining.
Tea: beans on toast with scrambled egg. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM <click>
Classic Xmas Movies: Miracle on 34th street. Well it was on: probably would have been better off watching the Bletchley Park thing on BBC4.
Classic Xmas Movies: something else, I forget quite what. Oh. "Love actually". Whatever that is.
Why are they missing out "Die Hard"?Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Today, 20:57.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Morning all
overcast and dry earlier on our walk, now a light drizzle.
Wifi crashed last night and was still down this morning. After a bit of investigating, I discovered the issue was the Devolo Mesh. Somehow it was no longer running on 192.168.x.x but had switched to 169.1.x.x. Give that Devolo is the domain controller, when it screws up, anything on a fixed IP crashes.
Now trying to rebuild the wifi, initially without the mesh.
...and no, I'm not a network engineer, so I may have used the wrong terminology, but I know everything in this house should be on 192.168.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Blue sky. Faint wisps lingering here and there. Currently 12 degrees ('feels like' 10) and that's the high for the day. Barometer up to 1019 mBar.
Sunrise 07:57; Sunset 15:52 GMT
This morning I had a 'sales meeting' with a potential client. Not sure I want the job but it was nice of an ex-client manager to think of me and give me first dibs.
