      Afternoon all

      STOP PRESS! - bloody hell. what's that bright light in the sky??? where's my shades?
      this expired cert is a right PITA.

        Lunch: turkey soup with a crust of wholemeal

        Sunny out now! Still quite a few clouds about, but it’s verging towards the Simpsonesque

          That’s Monday done - the first day this year that I’ve knocked off before sunset!

            Evening all

            The day started off sunny and then clouded over. Currently 8 degrees ('feels like ' 5) and the high was 11. Rain expected overnight. Barometer down to 995 mBar.

            Sunrise 07:26; Sunset 17:05 GMT

            Many meetings today. Then a review of a dashboard to see if it looked like the requirements.

            ConsultancyCo have hired someone who says they're going to take over tracking of projects but need the people working on the projects to provide them with all the info by inputting it into a "system". So...

              Tea has been chicken madras with rice and naan

              Just a mini-naan though, as lunch seems to have been quite filling

              This was accompanied by the first half of E2 of 999: What Happened Next on 4, featuring a bloke who stabbed a complete stranger in Peterborough, and a chap in Wales who crashed his car, killing his young female passenger, and then drank four bottles of Peroni in rapid succession while waiting for the police to arrive. I doubt that’ll do him much good, as nowadays they do all kinds of calculations of the rate at which you metabolise the booze and get convictions that way

                I hate “systems”

                  I managed a bit of mucking around with the SwiftUI stuff this evening. This app’s starting to look as if it might be usable one day

                  And I also read some more of The Jane Austen Project, in which the tension builds as the time travellers ingratiate themselves with the Austens, and particularly Jane

                    Morning all
                    Wide awake at too early o’clock.
                    I believe my wife’s flight has just landed, but haven’t heard anything from her since 11:50 yesterday morning, so I’m hoping she’s on it.
                    Didn’t sound like it was raining overnight, and it’s too dark to see out.
                    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                      Morning denizens

                      It’s cloudy out again, and generally seems a little murkier than yesterday. The 6°C “feels like” 3°, and the high of 9° will only show up for an hour or two mid-afternoon, with rain also expected to arrive around sunset (~75%). The barometers are heading back down at 978/985mB

                      I’ve started the day by looking up Apache rewrite rule syntax in relation to a weird Google indexing issue on one of my sister’s sites, before deciding it’s probably better to let time sort it out
