Another week done!
Lunch was very late, as I nipped up to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s for such bits as I needed and by the time I got back, the other dev was ready to start looking at some stuff. So I worked with her on that until we bothgot boreddetermined, in our professional opinions, that the various matters at hand had been fully addressed; after which I had a Pukka steak slice
I meant to fill the car up last week as it only had a quarter of a tank and it was obvious petrol prices were heading upwards. But I forgot, and had to do it today instead at the new, higher price
Judging by such news as I’ve had time to read, this was probably still a lot cheaper than doing it next week

There were a few spots of rain at lunchtime, but now it’s become very windy and has started teeming down
And in other news: new series of Ambulance on iPlayer!

When I took the kitchen bin bag out to put in the big bin, I realised there had been rain at some point for the ground was damp.Comment

It’s been raining extremely heavily here. Eased off slightly now but still going, and it’s still very windy too
I read some more of The Three-Body Problem tonight
Friday tomorrow! And with the shopping done today, I only have one or two errands to run, picking up the monthly prescription and so on
Goodnight all

Morning all
TFIF, etc.
Not raining, and the wind has done a reasonable job in drying off the lanes, even if it is a rather chilly 5C out.
Off to the Arms Park tomorrow.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Morning.
Friday. <checks clock: yes, it's Friday>
Damp following torrential rain overnight.
Calm following on from the gales.
Blue sky in parts.
Sunny.
Chilly in here at 13.3 deg, 1? in the kitchen, 10.5 in the leanto.
997 mBar, 29.44 in Hg, 747.8 Torr, 14.46 psi, (up from 994 last night).
Meanwhile on the 20th of March 2020 Brillo, covbob, quackhandle, Phil the Greek, and LM popped in.
Some rain/hail just now, though the sun still shines with a blue sky in parts.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: food prog waffling on about bottled water. More of the Bliar Eyerack thing with push having come to shove.
Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked, initially in sunshine, then a sprinkling of rain, then hail, then sun again. Warm, it wasn't.
Now getting outside a mug of mediocre yet consistent coffee.
Tea: Brains faggots with peas & such. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM <click>.
