Morning denizens

Yet another grey day! Quite mild again too: 12°C now, 14° expected for the whole of the afternoon, though it’ll possibly (50%) rain a bit around and after lunchtime. The barometers are steady at 993/1001mB

The lunchtime rain is to be expected as that’s the only time I have to go out, for I have an appointment to get a Covid jab at the chemist’s! As far as I know I can still get this on the NHS; I think that’s what the GP practice nurse said when I was getting my flu jab, so that’s what I’ll tell them

Afternoon all

Overcast but quite bright. There has been some rain. Currently 15 degrees and that's the high for the day. Rain set to continue off and on for the remainder of the day. Barometer down to 1004 mBar.

Sunrise 07:06; Sunset 16:24 GMT

Sunrise is getting late enough that I am less concerned about ensuring it doesn't disturb me in the mornings.

Busy day so far. Meetings started at 9am. Much to do.

No Covid vaccine for me, because they’d run out!

So I’ll be back there on Monday at 11, which may be early enough that there’s a dose or two left

No mention was made of my eligibility or otherwise, but perhaps they only check that when they’re going to actually do something. Or maybe I look even more decrepit than I thought, and it never occurred to them that such a ruin of a man wouldn’t be eligible

Tried something new for lunch today in the shape of Heck® smoky pork sausage rashers. I had a couple in a bap (white) and it was nice enough; I might have three in there next time, as they’re large baps. I had them sauceless as I wanted to check out the flavour, but I reckon they’d benefit from whatever one’s preferred sauce (of the two kinds, which is all the sauces there are in this world) might be

Tea has been lamb chops with chips and beans

This afternoon, I spent a load of time investigating the new forum software. It’s not hard for it to be better than the current stuff, but it’s really very nice. I need to do some work to make it proper CUK, though nowhere near as much as I thought might be needed

Mind you, one of the trickiest bits of the current version was getting the URLs the same as they had been - they were originally done with a plugin on vB4, but it was never updated for vB5, and I realised why when I did everything necessary to get them working! It turns out this new thing will also need a bit of work to keep the URLs the same, or it might be easier to end up with slightly different ones, such as “/forum/general” instead of “/general”, and redirect the old ones (which will also take a bit of work). I’ll see what I can do once I understand how it all works
