    Bins trundled at the 11th hour

      Good catch!

        Telly tonight started with last year's Christmas special of the Glasgow station thing, before it vanishes from iPlayer in a few days. It managed to include some good non-Christmas content too, such as welding rails

        Then some thing about fraud; a bloke claiming benefits under a false identity and a woman who nicked a couple of hundred grand from Rugely council

        And finally, The Repair Shop's Christmas special from 2017

        Early night now, as I'm pretty sure I still haven't recovered fully from the weekend

        Goodnight all

          Morning all
          Clear blue skies and sunshine here, probably about -5 out, but looks like another nice day.
          …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

              Morning denizens

              Took a little while to get off to sleep, but quite a decent slumber after that which has left me feeling rather better

              Grey day out with some evidence of overnight drizzle. Currently 11°C rising to 12°, 1012/1024mB on the barometers

              It seems pretty quiet out there; I'm surprised "WFH" without full lockdown has such a noticeable effect.

              I'm stuck now waiting for the FedEx redelivery attempt. No map to show me what they're doing, no text message updates; it's all very primitive

                A Crouch Recovery flatbed is recovering something over on the side road by what used to be Sainsbury's Local

                I don't recognise the driver though

                  Morning all

                  It was dull and overcast when I got up. It's still overcast but it's a bit brighter now the sun is up. Currently 12 degrees with a high of 13 expected. Unlikely to rain. Barometer up to 1026 mBar.

                  Busy morning with lots of meetings. It will be a busy day with more meetings to come. Not sure when the doing time will happen.

                  Today's Kantar diary facts are:
                  US Mariner II sends close-up pictures of Venus 1962

                    FedEx finally delivered: a hamper!

                    Well, not wicker or anything; a box full of Christmas goodies, including a bottle of red wine

                    It's either from the agency or the consultancy. Unfortunately, from the way the message with it is phrased, it could be either one of them. So I have no idea who to thank
