Tea has been sausage casserole out of the freezer with chips

This was initially accompanied by Apple’s developer conference thing, in which they got the embarrassing stuff out of the way right at the start: admitting that they’ve had to deal with a load of tech debt in terms of bugs they’ve allowed to accumulate, and also that everybody hates “Liquid Glass” so much that they’ve had to make it possible to turn it off - though they've avoided the embarrassment of an “off” switch by instead adding a slider via which you can turn it down, all the way to nothing

Once that was done, a bit more of the shoplifting thing that they’ve stuck the “Police Interceptors” name on for no good reason

I wonder what the diffs are from the 1996 First Edition. I'm not altogether sure I'm innerested enough to buy it to find out. . Oh. Added interviews with Sean Young, Harrison Ford, and Rutger Hauer, plus bits about the Director's Director's Cut Cut. Or something. I wonder if he finally caught up with Joe Turkel. Oh, and something about 2049, that dire turkey, all shiny with deafening music to make sure you couldn't hear the words. And absolutely nothing on the scale of "Tears in rain". 3 hours of boredom. Maybe I should burn the bluray so no one else has to suffer. .

The interviews and other stuff might turn out to be interesting, but I’m not sure I’m too bothered about the 2049 stuff

I sometimes think I should watch it again to see if it grows on one. But then I decide not to, or not yet

In Future Noir they’ve ended up arguing over the script, brought in another writer (who thought the first script was excellent), and ended up taking parts of both. And, of course, funding being pulled and new funding secured, because that always seems to happen

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

Sunny(ish) start for a change, but getting cloudier with a chance (35%) of a spot of rain around 9am. Not as warm either, being 11°C which “feels like” 5° and only expected to get to 16°. The barometers are steady at 1000/1008mB

Morning all
Got caught in a brief shower just before 6, but apart from that a pleasant walk has been had.

Morning.

Tuesday.

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

18.2 deg in here, 19 in the kitchen, 16 in the leanto.

1009 mBar, 29.796 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.6343 psi, (unchanged), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 29th of March 2020 AndyGarbs, Anonimouse, Brillo, BR14, LM, NF, scruff, and WTFH popped in, and LM had celeriac soup. I know what soup is, the other I'm not sure about. I wonder if scruff's krugerrands are still in SA.

This morning's waking happened at 02:40ish, and the Second Sleep eventually returned, with waking at something after 08:10.

I suspect I did too much yesterday as the aches & pains are much worse than usual and the lumbar spine is complaining a lot. Thank feck for ibuprofen.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine, and a 30 second shower of rain. Bunch of skoolkids walking up the valley on a skool trip as I was walking down. Well it's better than being stuck in a classroom innit?

I really should remember that I'll never see my 60s again: totally & utterly fecked after yesterday's shopping expeditions with the post No Mow May lawn mowing.

Took at least half a mile to get the knots out of my back & persuade the legs to work properly.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the butterfly story: so far she's got to 8, of which the latest two are the very common small white and an equally common speckled brown. Only 52 to go, then, though the green hairstreak should make up for it a bit.

I wonder if they have those lovely tiny blue butterflies in Denmark.

I wouldn't bother. it's PISH!! (was on freeview the other night).

Afternoon all

Currently in the sunny phase of a sunshine and showers type day. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 18 expected. Barometer up a smidge to 1014 mBar.

Sunrise 04:45; Sunset 21:17 BST

Busy morning at the gig3 coalface, now kicking off an afternoon at gig2. Only three weeks left there, so I'm making sure I get my hours in to maximise the billing.
