    Sunny out now

    The binfolk finally came, so the recycling bin has been retrieved and trundled back in

      Got to the end of it, was about to share it, then realised that the reason I saw it was because Nick had retweeted it.
      Good thread that - I'd definitely post a link to a site about the building of the M25

      Yes, I did a double take at my barometer app

        1043mB according to the Bresser
        30.86" according to my great grandfather's barometer in the hall. (might need to tweak that for altitude to get it right)
        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

              Good video - considered groundbreaking at the time

                Hectic day so far. After getting the bin in and doing the usual meetings, I had a toasted teacake slathered in butter

                Then some more meetings, after which I made a quick dash to Sainsbury's, just to get it out of the way. I didn't need that much and made the round trip in fifty minutes, which isn't too bad at lunchtime

                And then lunch of a "well-seasoned" chicken leg from the tepid food counter

                Got another meeting due shortly - this time it's the consultancy's fortnightly catchup. I think I'll continue the frenzied activity by making a coffee before it starts

                Oh, and I finally got around to buying a new kitchen bin at Sainsbury's. Just a 20 litre one; as I've said before, I don't really need a 35 litre one now so much stuff goes for recycling. So as and when I've filled the final bag that's in there, it'll be goodbye to the old but now broken bin

                  Sorted out the mortgage.

                  Had some meetings

                  Looked some boring stuff up for Clientco

                  Now need to go for a long walk before I get cabin fever. "The sun has got his hat on..."

                    Time for the weekend, I reckon!

                      I stopped work at 5pm today

                      HWMBO asked if I'd moved to Finland when I mentioned how novel it was to stop work and it still be daylight outside.
