    morning all
    CBS and King Billy by the seaside this morning.
    clouding over now.
    just been asked to assist in yet more software migration projects.
    i could go back to work full time at this rate
    but i won't, honest.
    as for shopping, it gets delivered every Sunday, no crowds, no hassle, no stress.

      Shopping done!

      NaB was busier than normal for this time on a Friday, but still manageable. I managed to get all the heavily-discounted-with-Nectar-Price boxes of chocolates I wanted for Christmas presents, so that’s one less thing to worry about

      It was rather drizzly on the way there, but that had just about stopped for the return journey. It’s still a very gloomy and damp-looking day though

      Now to think about lunch

        I could do that but it’s literally the only time I get out of the flat, other than waiting outside for takeaway deliveries, or going round the corner to the shops

          I realised the other day when “booking leave” that the agency’s “holiday year” ends on the last Friday of the month, so my carefully-calculated plan to include 29 to 31 December was foiled. They’ll just pay what’s outstanding anyway so it’s not like I lose anything by it, but it means I made a mistake setting up my leave-accumulation-and-consumption spreadsheet back in January

          Mind you, I haven’t got the calculations absolutely correct anyway, as there’s an additional two hundredths of an hour (1.2 seconds) in the official figure that isn’t showing up in the spreadsheet. This demonstrates why it’s a good thing I’m not an accountant

            Afternoon all

            Dull. Damp, Drizzly. Overcast. Currently 13 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer down to 1016 mBar.

            Sunrise 07:58; Sunset 15:53 GMT

            Long meeting this morning and now I'm in the hairdresser's getting the greys painted over. ConsultancyCo have their Christmas party today, which I never intended to attend and so booked this "personal appointment" into my calendar instead.

              That sounds far too complicated
