I've started dealing with the whole problem of making enough chips for one person by weighing the spuds before peeling.

There've been several occasions when a deceptively-shaped spud almost resulted in me making just the right number of chips for one person but, due to weighing, I was able to add another spud and make many more than is reasonable for one person. Problem solved

Well there we are, the premade lentil <pfffft> soup has been warmed up & consumed.

Followed by prunes & custard.

Tomorrow should be interesting.

Yawn.

Currently no new born crying babies on this train.

Just realised the traffic outside was sounding very hissy. Turns out torrential rain has appeared from nowhere

It was quite a pleasant evening when I looked outside about half-an-hour ago

Well the clouds are blowing up the valley today, and they've given us rain, hail and murrain of beasts in the last 5 minutes.

It's still very dark, so I've put the light on.

Having watched & read that stuff about the AGC a couple of weeks ago, it's amazing it didn't happen more often.

It's still very dark, so I've put the light on.

'Tis lightening up a bit & the monsoon seems to be relenting a bit.

Sun's out.

It's going all Simpsonesque again, as if nothing rainy had happened.

Just download a trial version of visual studio for my new laptop.

Logged into my Microsoft account and my msdn licence from the clientco before the clientco before the last clientco has extended my subscription for another year...

Everyone who I knew has now left so I'm not sure who to tell.... What a shame
