Lunch was Heinz oxtail soup with white toast 
Not too bad an afternoon, as these things go. One more day and I'm (temporarily) free!

And just as I solve the GCHQ puzzles (all 7, then the final one), Facebook goes down.
Coincidence?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

The 24 Hours in A&E mystery deepens.
On my "Watching" list C4 are saying S32E4 is the next episode. Yet, when I look at the available episodes, S33E6 is the most recent, aired on 5th August 2024, and I've watched it.
I feel I'm being tricked somehow.Comment

If you've gone back and watched an earlier one, it will show the one after that as the next episode. Mine is currently saying one from series 28 is next, because of watching old ones. Even when there's a brand new one available, it will still say the old one is the "next episode" under those circumstancesOriginally posted by ladymuck View Post

Tea has been homemade pork chow mein. Very nice again; the very slow roasting technique I developed for slices of belly pork is definitely one of my better ideas

Tonight's viewing was Why Bridges Collapse: The Baltimore Disaster on iPlayer. In fact, I tried to watch this on Monday, but it didn't have subtitles then; they seem to have found them down the back of the sofa, so they're there now. There isn't anything in it really new (it collapsed because a sodding great ship took out one of its piers) but there was some interesting stuff from the people who had to deal with the aftermath, and it had a slightly more detailed explanation of the problem with the ship's electrical systems than I'd seen elsewhere
And some more Sassoon has been read, in which George Sherston has won his first point-to-point race on the horse he bought cheap the year before
Last working day of the year tomorrow!
Goodnight all

Morning all
Dark. Sunrise not for another hour yet. Dry. Currently 5 degrees with a high of 8 expected. Rain forecast from mid afternoon onwards. Barometer still at 1032 mBar.
An Android system update has changed the weather app and barometric pressure is now to 1 decimal place. I shan't bother reporting the extra precision.
On my way to ConsultancyCo offices in Guildford, necessitating an even earlier start to the day than the past two days of office based workingComment

As is common for me, my usual thing of "take Google / City Mapper estimates and add wiggle room" has resulted in me being at Waterloo early enough to get the 0730 fast train rather than the 0800 I was aiming for.Comment

Morning denizens
Cloudy start and a cloudy day ahead, and it's actually turned a bit foggy out; whether this will get thicker remains to be seen. Relatively mild, being 5°C and aiming for 8°; the barometers are still hanging around up high at 1021/1029mB
Last (working) day of the year today!
