Morning all

The sun is not yet ris. Cloudy. Wet but no active precipitation. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 12 expected. Barometer down to 983 mBar.

Sunrise 07:23; Sunset 17:09 GMT

On my way to newClientCo for Day1. A "stand up" that takes an hour every week is at 9 am so I've been asked to turn up at 8.30 am to be shown around etc. Decided to take the train instead of drive as it's hopefully a more predictable journey. Google maps was estimating between 1h10m and 2h if I were to drive it.

Morning denizens

Grey day, and drizzly too at the moment, with more of the same likely off and on. Mild enough at 8°C with 10° expected by lunchtime; there’s no breeze to speak of, so the “feels like” figure of 6° is down below the fold. The barometers have plummeted further to 969/977mB

Commuting!

Old skool

Morning all
Gentle spitting at the start of the walk, but within a few minutes that had stopped. Miracle of miracles.
A bit breezy out, but the dawn chorus was in full song by 6:45

Morning.

Wednesday.

Grey.

Sunless.

Dreary.

Chilly in here at 13.8 deg, 12.5 in the kitchen, 12 in the leanto.

981 mBar, 28.97 in Hg, 735.8 Torr, 14.23 psi, (up from 979 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 16th of March 2020 BR14, covbob, LM, and NF popped in, and I bought this very chromebook from an Argos shop that isn't there any more.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the rain. Dry to start & didn't stay that way for long. Ho hum.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the 11:45 thing. <click>.

Foyle's War S8 E2 "Trespass". Begin's finest hour: killing 90 odd people in The King David Hotel bombing. Getting his hand in for later. Then bringing their terrorism to London. Plus the rent-A-Nazi follower of Moseley MBGA.

Sun came out & it turned into a pleasant looking afternoon, rather more pleasant than this morning's grey & miserable walk.

Book: Mercator has ended up in prison for Believing The Wrong Things: such as Reading the Bible in Translation and Evil Things like that. Fortunately his wife burned all his letters before the inquisitors had chance to read them. . Otherwise Mercator would probably have been and not in a Good Way. .

At least William Tyndale was strangled before he burned unlike the unfortunates in this country under Bloody Mary.

Tea: Tesco battered (or might be breaded) cod. A bit meh, if I'm honest about it. Entertainment: PM <click>

Scotland Yard.

Yesterday: Abandoned Engineering.

TLC: Bad skin clinic.

Elementary S1 E13.

Lunch: a sardines-in-tomato-sauce toastie

Still grey here, though the drizzle stopped

Another pretty productive day!

I got bogged down for a while this afternoon tracking down some weird behaviour in a React component. I think I figured it out in the end; at any rate, it’s doing what it ought to now. The other dev was busy with some other stuff but she knows much more about React than I do, so she said she’d have a look tomorrow to check I haven’t done something else weird that merely happens to work at the moment

It rained quite heavily for a while after lunch, but the sky cleared a bit towards the end of the day so we got an hour or so of sunny spells
