The day has considerably brightened up, and it's quite pleasant in the sunshine, but the cloud base is still very low.Comment

Turning cloudy here now
I got mildly confused this afternoon after sprint planning, thinking for some reason that it was Tuesday. I made myself a cup of coffee and just as it was ready, Teams started pinging with messages. Turned out it’s Wednesday and the weekly “huddle” for all digital people had just started! This worked out well, because I always make a coffee to have while I listen to that
And once that was done, I did an online Health & Safety course, thereby completing the mandatory training that I’ve been failing to renew for, I think, three years now. I believe there’s been pressure from the Cabinet Office so they’ve been chasing everybody about getting it done for the last few weeks

I’d put some belly pork on to cook slowly under foil this afternoon, with the idea of making pork chow mein. But then I got involved in a long email chain with my siblings about stuff to do with Irish passports immediately after work, so in the end I just took the foil off, seasoned it a bit and whacked the heat up to brown it, then made chips and beans to go with it
This was accompanied by another episode of the motorway cops thing

Morning denizens
Sunny start here, and it’s going to be a warm one: only 7°C now, but a whole 16° expected this afternoon, albeit briefly! The barometers seem pessimistic though, being down to 1004/1012mB, and tomorrow may be rainy and won’t be as warm
As I forgot to sign off last night, mainly due to more email back-and-forth about Irish citizenship, let me here record that I finished This Is How You Lose the Time War. A strange but enjoyable book

Morning.
Thursday judging by the racket of the Recycling Engineers out on the road.
Dry.
Blue sky in parts.
Wanly sunny.
Chilly in here at 13.9 deg, 13 in the kitchen, 11.5 in the leanto.
1009 mBar, 29.795 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.63 psi, (down from 1018 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 19th of March 2020: as per yesterday.
Bedding out on the line.
Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked as it picked with rain.
Returned just in time to stick it all in the TD as the rain began in ernest.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment?: thing on R4 about pain FFS. Noon o'clock news. The bottom line. <click>
Looked at the gravestone in the cemetery: it wasn't for the woman referred to in the thing watched by NF, rather it was some poor 18 year old strangled in her flat in 1998.
Bed remade: no beginner's error there then.
.
Still raining. Not much water out of the TD so that was good.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Today, 16:56.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Morning all
No dog to walk this morning.VW Up! rental car from Avis parked outside. Flight was fairly uneventful although a bit choppy in the last couple of minutes until we landed.
Grey and miserable outside.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Morning all
Blue sky, not a wisp to be seen. Currently 11 degrees with a high of 17 expected. Barometer down to 1016 mBar.
Sunrise 06:38; Sunset 17:49 GMT
Laundry will be the main non-billing task of the day. If I get it on early enough, it'll be worth putting it out in the garden for a while in the sunshine.Comment

Lunch: a couple of cold southern not-fried drumsticks
Still CBS here
Peaceful day as far as work is concerned, as almost everybody has gone to London for a quarterly planning session. So I’ve been able to quietly research some stuff I’m planning to implement without being interrupted by meetings or questions
