    The rain has passed and it's brightened up again.

    Contemplating what to do about lunch.

    Comment


      Large sausage roll for lunch

      The rest of the batch I baked have been frozen for posterity, or for future lunches, whichever comes first

      The soup is still doing its thing. And the car is still being worked on, it appears, as its MOT status hasn't been updated yet

        Advance warning that there'll be some forum downtime this evening. Shouldn't be more than an hour or so, I think; I hope not anyway, as it should only take longer if something goes terribly wrong

        And once it's done and assuming all goes well, everything will have moved back to forums.contractoruk.com. I have no idea why, but the powers behind the throne have ordained it thus

            I know

            I've not been given any rationale for this reversion. I assume there's some reason for it

              Car's MOT has just been updated

              Just waiting for the phone call and I'll walk up to get it

                "It'll be ready for you in about half-an-hour" - what are they doing with it? It'll be parked twenty feet outside the testing bay when I get there, and they've already had fifteen minutes to move it that far

                  Seems a bit silly to have an online status update and then still have to wait for a summons.

                  Surely the status shouldn't be set to complete until the car is ready to collect?

                    If they had thought this through at all - they could have saved you a pile of work.

                    You could have written a fancy mod rewrite command running on contractoruk.com/forums and used that to redirect all the old page urls into whatever new fangled format Vbulletin now uses.

                      Scrambled egg on toast for lunch.

                      One slice of toast, two eggs.

                      Had to get a new pack of butter out of the fridge as I didn't realise the dregs in the dish were exactly that.
