There was a tiny bit of ice on the car when I left for the office. Got in early for an 8am meeting that was cancelled.

Morning all
Blue skies and sunshine here and a bit of snow on the roads.

Lunch: cold chicken leg, again

It’s quite cloudy out, but not the kind that tend to rain on one and blue sky is visible through a number of gaps

It was a fairly productive morning, and may also be a fairly productive afternoon; we shall see

Another week done, and only twelve more working days for me this year!

The afternoon went reasonably well, I thought. There was the minor issue of causing a division-by-zero error in the database, but it was only in the hotfix environment, and that’s what it’s for, really

I’d actually mentioned a few days ago that we’d have to guard against that very thing, but left it on the to-do list as it didn’t happen in local development because of the dummy data we use. The other dev suggested we were at a good point to give the app a try against some real data, so we deployed it and it immediately blew up. Didn’t take me long to fix, though I ended up working an extra half-hour getting the changes deployed. But that was mainly sitting around waiting for builds and stuff to happen, and it was worth spending the time to make sure she’s got something stable to work with when I’m off tomorrow

Quiet day work-wise. Knackering afternoon walking around Terminal 3 looking for self-service wheelchairs. Apparently I walked 4 miles

Tea was brought to me from the Turkish place, because I had a voucher for £8 off that was about to expire

I watched some more of the Netflix Yorkshire Ripper documentary earlier

And then I finished Going Going Gone and therefore the entire Dryco saga. Excellent stuff, and I reckon I’ll read them again some time, as sometimes events or people from earlier in the story appear in a different light in relation to later aspects - quite an achievement really, given that they weren’t even written in order!

Friday tomorrow, and I have to be up early as the plumbers will be turning up to see if the mysterious leak is coming from my flat

Goodnight all

TMS on.

Sunny start today, but cold with it: -1°C (no “feels like” specified) now, and a high of 4° later. It’ll be slightly milder over the weekend, in the sense of not dipping below freezing. The barometers are ebullient, being up to 1014/1023mB

Slept well, woke up feeling more awake than I have for much of this week. That won't last, of course.

Last day of work for a few days. HWMBO and I are off gallivanting for three days next week. Only 6 flights coming up: a 90 minute visit to Dubai, and an afternoon in Warsaw.
