    as for fasnacht, if you can hold a tune, - take earplugs.

      Lunch: a sausage and bacon bap (white)

      It’s positively Simpsonesque out there now. The gardener has showed up and is mowing, strimming, and trimming; and there’s even some blossom starting to appear on some of the things along the hedge/tree line that keeps us hidden from the road

        That looks like fun! I'll pencil it in for next year

          Double booking issue resolved. Fortunately, another theatre outing planned for July has been moved to 2027 so I'm taking that slot up with the one that I booked Cadiz over.

          Much laundry has been done. Not sure it's warm enough outside for my jeans to dry.

          Windows open in a bid to air the flat but the lack of a breeze means not much is happening.

              Brill sunny warm day. After me solo walk I took infirm old loony lady 3 for short walk. Had a coffee in cafe on balcony overlooking the reservoir, great place.

              Been messing with me Excel version of me mappy thing to work and just couldn't figure out for ages why click on position gave wrong lat/lon. Then noticed the Excel image is at a different scale to original, even though zoom is set at 100% and scalewidth, scaleheight are set 100% relative to image size. Hmmm!

                I read some more of Peace and War

                And I did some Swift stuff, following a tutorial from some people who know much more about SwiftUI than I do. Not only did I learn a lot of cool things, I also got a good way to implementing a UI component I’d been trying to work out how to implement for ages! That was just with part one, so I’m going to follow the remaining four parts of that tutorial and also go through their others

                Thursday tomorrow!

                It’s supposed to be tech debt day, but I’d really like to finish off the thing I just about got working today by going thirty minutes over my usual time. It’s up to the other dev though; I think she’d like us to work together on the thing we got a good way through two weeks ago. Fair enough; we’ve been putting it off since before Christmas

                Goodnight all

                  Morning denizens

                  It’s one of those days that starts cloudy but with gaps towards the horizon, and a bit breezy. These can turn sunny after a while, but it’s going to continue to be windy and rain will start towards teatime and carry on through the evening, so it may stay cloudy instead. It’s 10°C but “feels like” 3° and the expected high is 12°, with the barometers unchanged at 1002/1010mB

                  Thursday!

                  It isn’t Viz week and although I do need some stuff, it isn’t a lot. So, depending on how the other dev rolls, I’ll see if I can grab enough time at lunchtime to pop along to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s and get the shopping out of the way

                    Morning all
                    12C feels like 10C out, mizzle earlier that appears to be lifting a little.
                    Didn't even put the head torch in my pocket this morning, and unless there's foggy days, I might soon be putting it away for a few months.
