Lunch has been a bit of leftover spicy lamb and onion starter from Saturday

Quite sunny here, though there's some banks of white cloud about the place

Leftover chilli here for lunch - a nice mix of meat and three bean. Middle child has gone vegetarian which means nice leftovers several times per week now.

Not a bad day today, mainly pairing with the other dev. We had a fairly intense coding session this afternoon and, having got tests passing and so on, she decided to knock off at half four! Fine by me

Tea: caramelised onion sausages with chips and beans

And to go along with it, a bit of the traffic cops on motorbicycles

Before that, I did a bit of work on a WordPress plugin for somebody. This is the first time I've tried writing one of those in about fifteen years, so it was fairly slow going and a lot of tabs had to be opened at various pages of the docs. But I've got an admin page showing up now, so I can see about getting it to actually do some stuff

A positive catch up with one of the directors of CosultancyCo today. More work, not less, coming my way. There was me thinking I ought to start looking for another gig.

A new cover for my garden bench arrived and it fits perfectly. Now the waiting game to find out if it's actually waterproof.

The last episode of High Potential season 1 was a good one! I need to acquire more of S2 before I start watching it.

I finished The Andromeda Strain. It's good but the film is basically exactly the same story, so there weren't many surprises in it

And then I started reading Random Acts of Senseless Violence by Jack Womack. It's written as the diary of a twelve year old girl from New York, recording the gradual collapse of civil order in the USA as a society wracked by division and inequality descends into violence; so basically a guide to what's going to happen over there in the next few months

Goodnight all
