    Afternoon all

    Sunny! With clouds. Currently 12 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer down to 1014 mBar.

    Sunrise 06:27; Sunset 17:57 GMT

    Busy morning. Many meetings.

    Finally getting the pillowcases etc. washed now that I've gotten around to putting the cleaned duvet cover away.

    Lunch was a cheese and ham toasted sandwich.

      Another day done, and half the working week out of the way

      Having spent much of yesterday and this morning trying to deal with one last small detail that was messing up the three impossible things I got working last week, I finally cracked it this afternoon!

        Arty thing this morning.

        Getting messages on MS Teams from an "attractive young lady" wanting a photo of me. Nowt suspicious there! Maybe I'll send her one, that would scare even the worst scammers off. Had a scam phone call this morning about loft insulation. One of those days.

              I managed a bit more SwiftUI tinkering earlier

              And in The Three-Body Problem, the plot thickens

              Goodnight all

                It being Wednesday, I am on my way to clientCo offices.

                  Morning denizens

                  Sunny start with some cloud, but it’s starting to cloud over. There was some rain and quite a high wind last night and it’s still a bit breezy, so the current 7°C “feels like” 1°; the expected high is 11°. The barometers are down to 994/1002mB

                  I awoke with a slight soreness in the throat today, which reminded me that it was similar yesterday but soon passed off so I forgot about it. It seems to be lingering a little longer today, so perhaps I have some kind of lurgy. At least it seems pretty mild so far, if that’s what it is

                    Morning all
                    After heavy rains and high wind overnight, apart from the wet ground it was blue skies and sunny on our walk earlier.
                    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                      Morning.

                      Wednesday.

                      Sunny.

                      Blue sky in parts.

                      Damply dry with puddle in saltinghouse.

                      Chilly in here at 13.8 deg, 1 something in the kitchen, 12 in the leanto, 9 in the saltinghouse.

                      1005.5 mBar, 29.692 in Hg, 754.2 Torr, 14.584 psi, (up from 1000 last night), 69% RH (Lidl electric).

                      Meanwhile on the 20th of March 2020 Brillo popped in a lot, LM was starting with a new client, NF and I popped in, whilst WTFH took a nice photo of the kestrel that was upsetting the guinea fowl.

                      Washing frenzy in progress.

                      Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the Eyrack war thing at 11:45.

                      Stuff in off the line, duly iRoned & airing upstairs.

                      Remaining stuff in off the line & airing upstairs: completed.

                      Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine. Nearly collided with a MAMIL who approached from behind without the courtesy of a bell or speech: what speech there was was me telling to feck off you moronic twat. Always happens when you're out without a gun. . Followed by another moron who did the same thing without the lycra. He'd have got 9x19 too if I'd had one handy.

                      Tea: Tesco battered haddock (or cod). Nice enough. The spud had spraint spraing which was rather irritating. Spraint, of course, is otter droppings. .

                      Entertainment: PM.

                      Scotland Yard. "The Tyburn case": the one about the woman found drowned in the Tyburn River sewer.

                      Alice Roberts Hospital through time thing? Poor sod with metastasized testicular cancer.

                      Bad Skin Clinic. Dr Pimplepopper instead. S1 E1.

                      Elementary S1 E17. Not on. Showing some crap about psychopaths instead. WTF?

                      Gito Hari waffling on about Welsh on S4C Yng Nghymraeg so subtitles were employed.

                      UFO bollox on Blaze: <click>

                      Looks like Wednesday evenings are now as devoid of any innerest on the idiot lantern as most of the other evenings. Ho hum. Might buy the Elementary box set the next time I'm in that Swansea.

                      Then again, I've never progressed further than S1E1 of Better Call Saul. .

                      I wasn't tempted to mow the lawn this week on a Wednesday having done it yesterday on a Tuesday.
