It's been a busy day again
Lunch was Heinz oxtail soup with white toast
And tea has been spag bol, which was very tasty indeed
But that was the last of the bol out of the freezer, so I'll have to make some moreComment

Tonight's opal hunters were more about heavy machinery breakdowns than opal, but some of them managed to do OK in the end
And then the first of a new series of The Crash Detectives on iPlayer
I also got a bunch of stuff done around SwiftUI and SwiftData - well, it doesn't seem like much now I look at it, but I'm clearer about a lot of little details now than I was when I started, so it'll all help in the long run
Goodnight allComment

Morning denizens
Grey start again, though yesterday's rain has moved on. Getting chillier too, as was foretold, being 9°C with no more than 14° due later; the barometers are back up a little, at 1001/1009mBComment

Morning.
Thursday. Nearly dead. Send flowers. . That fecking jab does it every time.
Dreadful night's sleep. The 6/30L2 valve featured rather a lot. .
Grey.
Damp.
Dank.
Dreary.
Sunless.
Cool in here at 18.8 deg, 20 deg in the kitchen, 17 deg in the leanto.
1007.5 mBar, 29.75 in Hg, 755.687 Torr, 14.61 psi, (up from 1006 last night), 77% RH (GDR hair), 74% RH (Lidl electric).
The recycling engineers may have made their way along the road, but if so, I didn't hear them.
Meanwhile on the 17th/18th of July 2019 the rain had returned, though not for NF.
Walk (abbreviated) walked in the grey gloom.
Lunch: baked spud etc.
Entertainment: Y&Y Sliced Bread: weighted blankets.
TWATO: more good news from the world.
Good to hear that Our Rog admires his audience so much he tells them to feck off. I'm sure the tale of Donald the Pet Duck went down ever so well.
Freecell score: 90%, running average: 86%.
Tea: chilli con carne etc.
Entertainment: PM <click>
Freecell score: 100%, running average: 86%.
Trucking Hell S7 E12. Reversing along a road for a mile to a farm to recover a dead bin lorry. Flipped concrete mixer thing that demolished a tree.

Afternoon all
Dull, damp, overcast. Much of that very fine rain following plenty of the heavier variety overnight. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 16 expected. Barometer down to 1013mbar.
Funny how the job is less stressful when you know you only have a few weeks left to deal with itComment

Grey, rain but warm.
Checked the weather for the weekend and there are going to be some cold nights.

Another busy day with traces of boredom, as things keep on depending on others. Then again, some of the others are depending on me. Most of today's effort involved writing a thing that takes a JSON configuration file from an outside supplier and spits it out as HTML with various bits translated into a form that humans can understand, which will assist a chap at another outside supplier who has to somehow try to replicate that configuration on a completely different product
One year ago today, my solicitor emailed me with answers to various questions my brother, also a solicitor, had come up with about the lease on this place and related information. The most important one, to my mind, was to do with getting the previous owner to have the boiler serviced, which reminds me that I really ought to be doing the same myself now it's mineComment

Tea tonight was chicken madras with rice and naan
The opal hunters are approaching the ends of their various seasons, though one finished early after taking a break to do his other job of aerial mustering (i.e. herding cows) and crashing his helicopter, resulting in three broken vertebrae
Then the first two episodes of Soldier on iPlayer, following a bunch of infantry recruits through training at Catterick. Good to see the old clichés are as true as ever: kit swept out of lockers on to the floor for being misplaced by a millimetre, one person turning right when the drill instructor shouted "left turn", and a negligent discharge of a rifle during an exercise - they were only using blanks that time, luckily for the guy sat opposite who otherwise would have been one leg short of the usual number
Friday tomorrow!
