    Busy day at the coal face. Didn't get to skulk out the back door once the meeting finished but it worked out to be a good day overall so that's not so bad.

    You can link Confluence to Jira so you don't have to even tick things off! Just link to the Jira ticket and it'll pull through the status

    Tea: one of those nice steak and caramelised onion burgers in a sesame bun, with chips

    Accompanied by an episode of Fresh Cops, the thing about the younger denizens of our local police stations. Lots of pleasant views of our fair city again, including a bloke getting his head kicked in on what looked like the Braunstone North estate but could also be over Saffron Lane way, and a woman climbing out of the second floor window of her flat over on what was definitely the St Peter's estate. Many years ago, the last of these was on my way into town, so I know it pretty well; it turns out she was in - or getting out of - one of the few remaining 1960s tower blocks over there, at the corner of Jupiter Close

    Morning.

    Wednesday.

    Grey.

    Sunless.

    Calm.

    Dry.

    Chilly in here at 13.2 deg, 12.5 deg in the kitchen, 11.5 deg in the leanto.

    1003 mBar, 29.618 in Hg, 752.3 Torr, 14.547 psi, (up from 1002 last night), 75% RH (GDR hair), 70% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 26th of August 2019 I went to Halfords, bought a gallon petrol can, went to Morrisons & filled it, so the brave little soldier next door could mow his fecking lawns. He complained that the lawn was bumpy, to which the reply comes "if you think you can do better carry on". As if that would ever happen. Film of the day was "High Plains Drifter" with that Clinton Eastwood cove, NF's post liking it was apparently a Zenchury, but now is at 826, so wtf has gone on there is anyone's guess.

    Sun's out.

    Shopping trip to Morrisons & Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away. 34 bus out, shanks' back.

    Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

    Entertainment: last bit of TWATO. Forgiveness at 13:45. Not something I'm partial to, personally, revenge being best served cold. .

    Walk (greatly abbreviated) walked in the sunshine. Back in time for Nothing to Declare.

    Entertainment: Oz customs thing. No frog fat.

    "Belle of the Yukon (1944)" a musical with that Randolph Scott chap. He doesn't sing. Or Dance. Very odd indeed. Technicolor 3 strip process that looks in places like the Columba 2 color process.

    Tea: soup etc.

    Entertainment: PM <click>.

    A thing about the myriad format of video tape, most of which I've never heard of let alone encountered.

    "Mrs Pym of Scotland Yard (1940)" on TalkingPicturesTV.

    Which led to the curious discovery that the 9 Great channels have disappeared: yesterday there were 6 movie channels, today there are 3.

    Ho hum. Looks like Freesat is on its way out.

    The Bad Skin Clinic. Chap with a large sebaceous cyst on his foreskin. Now that's an operation to watch from behind the settee. Lady with an anal skin tag: duly chopped off. Lady with a curious lump on her buttock: a seroma: drained via a needle. It came back. Lipoderma next. Chap with Hailey-Hailey disease on his privates. Dear Deity. I can't unsee that. Low dose Naltrexone.

    Dr Pimple Popper.

    A Cold War of Spies on PBS: E3 On the brink of destruction.

    Morning all

    Dull and damp. Much wind and rain overnight. Calmer this morning. Currently 5 degrees ('feels like' 3) with a high of 8 expected. Barometer down to 1007 mBar.

    On site today, hiding in a corner where I can't be found easily. One meeting at 11am after which I might go home.

    Morning denizens

    Quite a sunny sort of start compared to the last few days, though with some high dappled stuff giving the sky a bit of texture. Currently just 1°C and no better than 6° expected, while the barometers aren't much changed at 995/1003mB

    The wind has died down, and the rain has changed to drizzle.
