Morning all
Dawn chorus started just before 6:40, at which time it was starting to get bright out and not raining (although it had been raining overnight). I was happy that so far on the walk, my choice of clothes had been correct - no need for the waterproof trousers, so it was jeans & a long coat. About half an hour later the heavens opened
Got back home around 7:45 and have hung my jeans up to dry.

Morning.

Thursday.

Irritating beeping from one or other of the smoke detectors. Then the batphone.

Grey.

Wanly sunny.

Damply damp.

Chilly in here at 13.8 deg, 12.5 in the kitchen, 11.5 in the leanto.

982 mBar, 28.998 in Hg, 736.56 Torr, 14.242 psi, (up from 976.5 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 16th of March 2020 covbob, DaveB, LM, WTFH, NF and I popped in to sort out how many meals resided in NF's freezer and whether spirits counted as an antiviral. and the assembled congregation were reminded of by DaveB.

"It's time to recalibrate my gradient on the big picture,"

Sounds painful. . Time for a Jimmy. .

Walk (towpath, unabbreviated) walked in the wan sunshine. Still got wet feet, these shoes being "Waterproof" and long past their best.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Julian Barnes waffling on about books. R4 trail about the fecking olympics <click with extreme prejudice>

Foyle's War S8 E3 "Elise". It ended with a bit of a bang, though I did notice an edit, presumably to spare the feelings of we afternoon telly watchers.

Tea: beans on toast/baked spud with added scrambled egg. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM which went <click> a lot since it covered things I didn't want in my head.

Tired this morning. Went to bed early, woke up about 2 and a half hours later with upstairs making a racket going out (who goes out after midnight on a Thursday morning?) After that I was dozing, semi waking up, etc.

First day at new gig was as expected. No log in details, no building pass Smile and invoice, as they say.

Old fart Mahjongy thing this morning. Unexpected drop in by loony lady 3, her bus had been diverted due to a road closure.

Lunch is only just about to happen, as I decided to do the quick run to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s, only to meet with roadworks there and back. But the main delay came from being “randomly selected” for a full trolley rescan - which also happened last week at Big Sainsbury’s

This meant that by the time I got back, the other dev had already resumed work, so I felt it incumbent on me to join in. We’re now waiting for something to redeploy, so she suggested a tea break, which I’m using to guzzle some leftover lamb bits from the other night

The rescan only showed one error, and it wasn’t mine - she’d somehow managed to miss the coffee beans

Gig3 have issued log in details. Password reset, MFA set up, now waiting to be spammed with meeting invites.

Another week done!

My hopes of quietly ignoring Tech Debt Day were dashed as the other dev wanted to finally deal with a big change we'd started figuring out before Christmas! She’d made a lot of progress on it after I finished for the year, but it’d been on the back burner since then as it was potentially quite risky if we’d missed something. We decided to bite the bullet and go for it, and it all went smoothly in the end
