Morning all

Blue sky with occasional wisps. There was much rain late last night. Currently 7 degrees ('feels like' 4) with a high of 9 expected. The sunshine is set to remain all day. Barometer still at 993 mBar.

Sunrise 07:35; Sunset 16:56 GMT

I was going to go into clientCo's office but decided before going to bed last night that I couldn't be bothered. This lead me to discover that my Win 10 laptop has that 'feature' recently pushed by Microshaft whereby you think you've turned it off but something keeps running in the background to prevent that from happening.

Lunch: leftover pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

It’s been a meeting-heavy morning. I presented my work-in-progress at the portfolio Show & Tell so as to convince them we’re getting somewhere

Sprint planning meeting this afternoon, then the weekly departmental thing. At some point, I may manage to squeeze in a few minutes of software development

Old farty coffee morning with history group. An old farty talk afternoon looming, that ghastly ll2 badgered me into. Nice bright day, went for a wander near local town earlier.

Gawd, this darn Epstein thing in the news all the time, was there anyone who didn't know him? Bet some of you lot did.

Tea: oniony chicken casserole with chips and peas

This was accompanied by The Truth About My Murder on iPlayer, a series presented by a forensic pathologist, reviewing old cases that were solved by forensic science

This evening’s entertainment has been Seven Psychopaths. A good watch.

In Berlin, the Germans finally surrendered. And then Stalin set to work to make everybody in Eastern Europe, especially the citizens of the USSR, suffer the consequences for decades to come

I also spent some time helping my sister set up WordPress for the website of an organisation she’s involved with

Thursday tomorrow!

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

It’s a cold, grey, rainy morning - not drizzle, but proper rain that I can hear falling outside. That’s expected to continue, though perhaps not continuously, until teatime, and then it will resume later in the evening. There’s a breeze too, which means the theoretically acceptable 4°C “feels like” -5°; the high for the day will only be 6°. The barometers seem pessimistic too, being down to 973/981mB

On the other hand: it’s Thursday, so I’ll be done for the week by teatime! The sun goes down at 16:57 here today, so this should be the last day I have to work until after sunset until towards the end of the year!

Morning all
Stormy last night, but it wasn't raining at the start of our walk. The overcast skies meant the dawn chorus didn't start as early as yesterday.
The rain started again just after 7am. Good job I was wearing appropriate clothing.

Morning.

Thursday judging by the Recycling and Waste Disposal Engineers making their merry way along the road.

Grey.

Blue sky in very very small parts.

Wanly sunless.

Damp.

Dreary.

Chilly in here at 12.8 deg, 12 in the kitchen, 10.5 in the leanto.

976.5 mBar, 28.84 in Hg, 732.4 Torr, 14.163 psi, (down from 980 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 15th of March 2020 Brillo popped in, LM wasn't in the mood for bloody marys but did the essay for her OU course anyway, whilst there was much discussion of Apocalyptic and Post Apocalyptic epics, including the almost forgotten "When the Wind Blows" (don't drink the black rain), and "Whoops! Apocalypse", whereas, even more alarmingly, there was no toilet paper in Morrisons or Tesco. .

Drizzling with the drizzle blowing down the valley rather than the more usual up the valley.
