Much darts watched today. Some very good matches

This evening’s viewing was E3 of Titanic Sinks Tonight, in which there was still some of it left above the surface by the end, but certainly not as much as its designer intended
And later I read some more of There Is No Antimemetics Division v2, in which things are going pretty badly on dry land too
Over the past few days I’ve been tinkering with various things to do with RealityKit and GameplayKit, which included working out how to add a skybox using an equirectangular projection - I don’t know why they call it a box, as it’s a sky sphere. I started out using an image of the whole sky from the ESA’s Gaia probe, but unfortunately it made the Milky Way so bright that things were getting lost against it. So I found an image from NASA which just has bright stars without all that additional light, and it works better for what I’m doing. It’s much easier to work out which way you’re rotating the camera when there’s a night sky swinging around you as you do so
Goodnight all

Morning.
Wednesday apparently: confirmed by "More or Less".
.
Dry.
Sunny.
Blue sky.
Cold in here at 11.4 deg, 9.5 in the kitchen, 7 in the leanto, 2.6 in the saltinghouse.
1028.5 mBar, 30.37 in Hg, 771.44 Torr, 14.92 psi, (down from 1030 last night), 56% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 8th of March 2020 NF was feeling a bit crook, AndyGarbs popped in, along with LM, and BR14, whilst the Beeb were celebrating 42 years of H2G2 on 4Extra as was their wont.
Washing frenzy in progress: should have done it yesterday since stuff is freezing on the line. We shall see at 15:30 how much they've dried, if at all.
Next door's washing has been on the line for 3 days: it was dry yesterday: today: Who knows?
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: More or Less from this morning.
Walk (towpath, unabbreviated, sunshine) walked. Cold out there.
Shirts are about to meet the TD.

Morning denizens
Frosty start this morning, with a lot of white roofs out the back and a similar lawn out the front; the cars look a bit chilly too. It’s 0°C at the moment and supposedly “feels like” -3°, and it’s not getting above 3° this afternoon. Tonight apparently might not be quite as cold as last night, but that’s just a lead-in to a cold snap at the weekend. The barometers are down a bit at 1018/1026mB

Morning all,
Definitely a cold finish to the year.
Wind 3 kt from the North/Northwest
Temperature 1°C
Humidity 86%
Pressure 1032 hPa

Heading down to Somerset to see friends for the New Year shenanigans and it's even colder there so lanes are potentially going to be slippy.Comment

Sunny start, clouded over since. Currently 4 degrees ('feels like' 1) with a high of 6 expected. Might be some rain this afternoon. Barometer down to 1027 mBar.
Sunrise 08:48; Sunset 15:53 GMT
Last billing day of the year. A couple of minor busy tasks to complete and then I'll be invoicing.
No plans for this evening. Just a quiet one indoors with HWMBO.Comment

Invoice issued. That's a wrap (work-wise) for 2025.
