Lunch has been some leftovers, accompanied by some thing called Outback Truckers in which Australians drive lorries

The last few hours have been spent digging through the post import stuff for the new forum software. Once I’d investigated it thoroughly, it turned out not to be too complicated now I’ve got the threads sorted out

However, I also uncovered a problem with some threads, which seem to have become orphaned around the time we did the vBulletin “upgrade” to version 5. Not sure how that happened; there’s nothing obvious that they have in common. There are 104 of them, and now I have to work out how to get them back in their rightful places

Ah! Mystery solved

I found a DB dump from before the “upgrade” and used that to work out where one of the threads ought to be - and it turned out it had been merged with another thread! When I tried to visit it here on the live site, I was redirected to the appropriate point in that thread instead. So I now believe that the apparently-detached threads are just leftovers from merged threads, and haven’t been lost at all

I now need to check whether those redirects will continue to work, but I think that’s dealt with later in the migration, and they'll be a lot easier to fix up even if they aren’t and I have to do it myself

What about that Zeity thread that no one could open? Just askin' for a friend, like. .

The drives to/from Sussex were smooth and uneventful. Mum was quite chipper.

On returning home, I secured what I consider to be a good parking spot. No trees and easy to get out of.

The bed has been made and the smalls put away.

I’ll have a look

Tea has been sausage and mash with onion gravy

And this was accompanied by the rest of the episode of Police Interceptors I started watching the other evening; and with that watched, I’m out of new episodes of that

There was a bit of wildlife stuff on around teatime

Tonight, I resumed The Three-Body Problem, in which it appears theoretical physics is in trouble

Monday again tomorrow. Four weeks until Easter

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

It’s foggy! Not even a bit misty, but a fairly decent fog

It’s also 7°C, again, with an expected high of 12°, again. The barometers are down a little at 1007/1015mB. And it seems the cloud might clear a bit towards sunset

Morning all
Misty out on our walk, but we met a couple from the next village who always bring dog treats with them in case they bump into Max. Apart from that and almost being run over by the recycling lorry, it's been an uneventful Monday morning.

Morning.

Monday.

Grey.

Sunless.

Dry.

Dreary.

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

1014 mBar, 29.94 in Hg, 760.6 Torr, 14.7 psi, (down from 1015 last night), 69% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile onthe 19th of March 2020 the feeling of impending doom increased, BR14, Brillo, scruff, LM, and NF popped in, along with a me.

Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: last 15 mines of "Understand: how reading changed our brains", Gordon Corera's 2023 series about the glories of Gulf War II, the previous time our glorioius septic allies bombed the tulip of people in the name of "Freedom". Bliar stars in tomorrow's ep. . Fecking murdering lying bastard mother****er that he is. Not that I'm in any way judgemental.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the grey gloom with some wan sunshine towards the end.

Tea: Mr Brains faggots with peas & suchlike comestibles. Entertainment: PM. <click> UFO bollox on Blaze: it's UFO week, just in case anyone gives a tulip. .

Skinwalker Ranch bollox on Blaze: the even more bolloxy version of The Money Pit with added UFOs, lasers, radiation detectors, UFO detectors, CCTV, giant wolves and more nutjobs than yyou can shake a stick at.

All they miss out on are vikings, the Romans, the Knights Templar. But they do have a UFO buried under the mesa, so that makes up for it all.

NCIS S22 E8 "Out of control". An out of control car that's driving itself. Obviously made by an associate of The Boring Company. .

Morning all

Overcast but it seems a bit brighter than yesterday. Currently 10 degrees with a high of 14 expected. There might be a light shower this afternoon. Barometer down to 1020 mBar.

Sunrise 06:29; Sunset 17:55 GMT

Tired this morning. Hopefully I'll find my mojo in my coffee cup.
