Lunch has been some leftover Indian starter bits from Saturday 
It’s cleared up outside and turned quite sunny and Simpsonesque now

Laundry has been done.
The floors have had a cursory sweep.
I forgot to put the bins out last night so I didn't need to bring them back in again.Comment

Got back home on Saturday and opened my case. First thing I noticed was that my washrag was unzipped. Then I went through the rest of the bag. Either at JNB or at LHR someone had chosen to rifle through the bag. two things are missing: a glove and a battery charger for my main camera. They had also looked at a ceramic dog that we had bought. It was wrapped in white foam which was then held together with lots of tape, forming a large rectangular block. I think someone may have thought it was Colombian Marching Powder as they had taken to the the middle of the foam and removed some of it. Hope they choked when they snorted it.
I contacted BA who want a receipt for a battery charger that is 5 years old. I've no idea where the receipt would be. No receipt, they aren't interested.
Replacement charger is £430.
…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

On the stroke of 17:00, my phone and watch together sounded the clarion call of an urgent reminder. What important task did I have to do? “Bake bread.” So the bread maker is now at work
I also remembered to put the mundane laundry on a little while ago

Tea has been beef and Hobgoblin casserole with some of the slightly spicy potato wedges I made last week, and peas
This was accompanied by another ’orrible murder in New York City, this time of a fashion designer killed by her spoilt and sociopathic rich kid boyfriend

Morning denizens
I failed to bid you all goodnight last night
This was because I’d read more of Adulthood Rites, which seems very good now I’ve got used to not reading about wartime London. But after that, I got distracted reading about some API for a possible firebreak project, today being the start of the week when we can work on side projects should we choose
I decided it was going to be a bit much to cram into my four-day working week, but then neglected to say goodnight because I’d suddenly realised it was late so I got to sleep straight away
Anyway, I ended up oversleeping as a result - I have no memory of the two alarms I must have stopped, and awoke more than an hour after the second one. So it’s been a bit of a rush this morning!
The rains came overnight and it’s dark and grey and rainy out there now. It may be 11°C but it “feels like” 7°, and the expected high is only 15°; the barometers are down a bit more at 1002/1010mB
Last night’s loaf collapsed for some reason, becoming an even height all across and noticeably concave in many areas of the top. Still seems OK qua bread, but I’m not sure what went wrong
Right, better drink this coffee and start work!
