Morning denizens

It's a grey sort of day, though the high cloud layer appears fairly thin; altostratus, I think it may be. Still not as cold as it might have been at 11°C ("feels like" 8°) with an expected high of 17° this afternoon. The barometers are up a touch at 1011/1019mB

Morning all

There was some blue sky earlier but the clouds covered it up. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 18 expected. Barometer up to 1025 mBar.

Sunrise 07:12; Sunset 18:25 BST

Nothing noteworthy planned for the day.

Morning all

I'm on holiday! a new concept for me.
Well, revisited, anyway.
Just working out ways to spend this extra wonga that's come into my possession .
got a new PC ordered, but that doesn't even dent it.

Morning.

Tuesday?

Dry.

Grey.

Sunless.

Cool in here at 18.1 deg, 18 in the kitchen, 17 in the leanto.

1018.75 mBar, 30.08 in Hg, 764.1 Torr, 14.7757 psi, (down from 1019 and a bit last night), 64% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 21st of February 2020 BR14, Brillo, and AndyGarbs popped in, LM suggested Brillo should burn his socks, I was in with the hoi polloi and NF mentioned the previous day's mundane washing.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath), walked in the grey gloom.

Shopping trip to Aldi done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away. Easier to find the needful buyings this time, though stocks seemed a bit limited so I bought all I could find.

No covid jab for me this year. Well there's a thing.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment Y&Y waffling on about house purchase.

"A Lawless Street (1955)" with that Randolph Scott chap and Angela "Jessica Fletcher" Lansbury.

Am Dro. Swiss Valley Llanelli. Gwbert to Mwnt, Cardigan (teaching student at Ye Sloughe of Desponde). Clorach, Anglesey: Hairy Handed Will. Bethesda: more slate.

Tea: soup etc.

Entertainment: PM. <click>.

Dial 999. "Payroll job (1958)". Didn't we have proper money delivery trucks in 1958.

The Mind of Mr J. G. Reeder "The Poetical Policeman (1969)".

Why does everyone hate the British Empire? South Africa.

Well, that's been quite an enjoyable and productive morning!

I'm not usually that keen on "pairing" for programming tasks. But the other dev understands the rather complex and occasionally ramshackle system we're working on much better than I do, so it's the only viable option a lot of the time, or at least makes more sense than me badgering her with questions as I try to work on one thing while she's trying to work on something else. She was the one operating the keyboard while I tried to offer helpful suggestions and talk through complicated bits yesterday, so today the roles have been reversed, and it's been working very well for us

Lunch: pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

[NickFitz]

Another day done and, as I keep forgetting every Tuesday, that means I'm halfway through the week!

A productive afternoon, I thought

[ladymuck]

Today was uneventful.

Supposed to have a telephone call with my GP around 1130, and it was 1430 before they got around to calling. Just as I was about to join a meeting.

Now watching Cleopatra's Final Secret which was aired on National Geographic recently. About people who think they found where she was buried. It's amazing to think how ancient Egypt was in her day.

[NickFitz]

Tea: cottage pie

This was accompanied by NEW! Police Interceptors

And there's also NEW! normal Traffic Cops, as opposed to the motorbike cops one. Spoilt for choice!

In Random Acts of Senseless Violence, things continue to fall apart; the centre is unlikely to hold, and we all know what happens after that

Goodnight all
