Yeah I know.

Went to supermarket earlier and the streets were empty due to the damn freezing wind.

Weather warnings for Tuesday and Wednesday.

Apparently not going to get above freezing on those days for East side of UK.

It was well baltic at the top of Barnet hill this afternoon, though getting home after a few beers took the edge off

I'm working on a thing to resolve links to URL shorteners, including the case of a shortened URL pointing to another shortened URL. Just grabbed, pretty much at random, a link from Twitter (which uses its own t.co shortened URLs) which resolved to the BBC's URL shortener (bbc.in), assuming that the latter would finally point to bbc.co.uk. Nope; there's another redirect hidden in there before you finally get to the page you actually wanted (trib.al, which is used by a lot of media companies, presumably for tracking clicks)

I assume you're referring to Leicester 'blast': Four people taken to hospital - BBC News which is about three-quarters of a mile away from me

I didn't hear it.

There used to be a really good butcher's shop just by there in the 1980s. I lived on the opposite side of the city at the time but would sometimes go all the way there specially.

Pasta Bake + Turkey steaks. + obligatory red wine!

All good.

The en Suite is finally nearing completion, I tried the rainforest shower setting tonight and its awesome. Very relaxing.

Its a bit sad having a readout that tells you how hot your shower is & how long it lasts, but I suppose that is progress!

And so to bed!

The local paper has a reporter at the scene of the explosion providing updates. I know him well, and can guarantee he's desperately hoping he gets stood down soon so he doesn't miss last orders - he lives locally, and the pub's only a few minutes walk from the scene
