Wander up to local history group coffee morning shortly. Taking ghastly old ll3 to the nursery for some planty things later.

Lunch has been a cold chicken leg

It was supposed to get quite gloomy here but if it did, I missed it. It’s tending towards the Simpsonesque out there now. Still very breezy though

The daffodils in the central flowerbed have bloomed

ll3 was pain in the **** as usual. Took her to garden centre supposedly to buy a few packets of seeds and ended having to heft a huge sack of compost.

Pork cutlet with chips and beans for tea

And a bit of the motorway cops thing to go with it

It was a tiring but productive day at the coal face.

Got home about 6.30pm. Nearly 12 hours out of the house

[NickFitz]

I managed some productive meddling around with SwiftUI during the evening

And I read some more of The Three-Body Problem

Thursday tomorrow!

It’s our Tech Debt day. There’s some stuff the PM wants us to focus on, which the other dev has had more to do with than me; I don’t know whether she’ll want me to help, or if she’ll be happy to get on with it on her own. She doesn’t seem to think it’ll be too burdensome though, so once we’ve done that there may be time for me to finally dispose of the thing that’s dragged on since before Christmas - though I’ve just remembered that it may be better not to use that just yet, as it does some serious meddling with the structure of the database, and due to a platform bug that they thought they’d fixed earlier in the week and hadn’t, we might not be able to restore it if things go horribly wrong

But it also means there’s a good chance I’ll be able to nip along to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s at lunchtime and get the shopping (of which there’s very little needed) out of the way

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

It’s a cloudy sort of start again and going to be pretty windy all day, with rain expected this evening. It’s 8°C but “feels like” -2°, with an expected high of 12° that presumably won’t feel much better. The barometers are down some more at 997/1005mB

But: it’s Thursday!

[WTFH]

Morning all
Windy out, but dry for our walk, although looking at the dark clouds, it's raining nearby.
Excitement from yesterday evening was that the grass had dried enough (and it was light enough) to get the mower out for the first cut in a while. in places the grass was quite long. The excitement continued in that I had about 3 litres of fuel in the jerry can, which half-filled the tank on the mower and should give me enough for at least one more cut.

Meanwhile on the 20th of March 2020 I visited various graves in the cemeteries, whilst AndyGarbs, covbob, LM, NF, and WTFH popped in, and someone was attempting to scam xogg with some bogus email about Amazon.
