This morning I went to gig1 clientCo office for a meeting. Then came home immediately after it finished. This ultimately wasn't such a good move as I had to park way up the road. I will aim to move the car tomorrow.

Popped into Morrisons on the way home for tonic water as they have it on offer at the moment. Just been notified by Sainsbury's that they now it have on offer too, albeit at 5p a bottle more than Morrisons. However, I'm willing to pay the 5p for the convenience of the shop being 2 mins from my flat.

Tea: Pukka steak & kidney pie with chips, peas, and gravy

I resumed watching the motorway cops thing that 5’s streaming was unable to deliver yesterday. 5 aren’t very good at streaming; sometimes the quality really drops off for no reason, and you have to pause it for a couple of minutes whereupon it goes back to normal. Anyway, they still aren’t going on the motorway very much

This evening's ents so far has been Inside the Factory, namely chips and throat lozenges.

Tonight’s major motion picture premiere was Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025) which was pretty good - but I kind of ruined it by thinking halfway through that they keep making these, and we keep watching them, hoping they’ll be as good as the first; but they never are. Maybe they should just stop? Anyway, it was pretty good

And then a rewatch of She Said (2022). Again, it’s good; but if I wanted to make a film about how a real story had been covered, I’d look at All The President's Men, and Spotlight, and The Post, and then look at this one to try to work out what it’s lacking that the other three had

Goodnight all

Sunny.

Blue sky.

Nearly frosty.

Chilly in here at 12.3 deg, 11.5 in the kitchen, 8 in the leanto, 4 in the saltinghouse.

Meanwhile on the 16th of March 2020 AndyGarbs, Brillo, covbob, NF and I popped in and there was a mention of someone named "zeitghost" and why the smileys popup thing is so random.

Washing frenzy in progress.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: FOOC: the results of the Orange Moron's cuts to aid. Noon o'clock news. Moneybox illustrating why Craptia is so called. An hour and 55 minutes average call duration to their so called pension line.

HWMBO and I have been to the farmers' market this morning. Lazy day today. HWMBO wants to watch the rugby later.

Afternoon denizens

It’s sunny! It won’t last because, apart from anything else, the sun will set; and it’s predicted to get cloudier before then anyway. But it’s mostly blue sky out there now, with just a few wisps and strands of very high, thin cloud to provide texture. We’re heading into a cold spell though: currently 4°C as it tries to make it to 5°, and cold or even freezing nights for the next week. The barometers are fairly ebullient, being up to 1005/1013mB
