Lunch has been a Pukka sausage roll

Still grey here but the rain has stopped

[NickFitz]

Tea has been the last of the weekend leftovers, which lasted until now because there were things that Needed to be Eaten the last couple of days

Turning sunny again out there now

[NickFitz]

I finished watching Police Interceptors from last night earlier

And tonight, I finished Future Noir in which the Blade Runner 2049 chapter turned out to have been written before the film was actually finished, so it’s basically just a bunch of quotes from the people working one it saying what a good job they’ve done (spoiler: they hadn’t). And then interviews, which didn’t contain much of any great interest

Thursday tomorrow!

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

Another cloudy start, though brighter occasionally when a thinner patch comes along, and not rainy. It’s 18°C with an expected high of 24° as we start heading into the hot spell, with temperatures mostly in the high 20s for the next week. The barometers are only up a little at 1005/1012mB

Thursday!

It’s also Tech Debt day, meaning a break from the usual stuff to get security patches and the like deployed. And it’s also Viz week, which means a trip to Big Sainsbury’s; but it takes too long to get there and back in lunchtime traffic, so I’ll have to do that tomorrow

Morning all
Similar weather to yesterday with a murky start but slightly milder.
Managed to get the flooring laid in th lawnmower shed yesterday evening. Will soon be time to put up shelves etc.

Morning.

Thursday.

Well you read that quickly. All 800 pages of it. . Did he manage to meet with Joe Turkel in this one?

Damp.

Grey.

Wanly sunny.

Misty.

20 deg in here, 20.9 in the kitchen, 19.5 in the leanto.

1010 mBar, 29.83 in Hg, 757.6 Torr, 14.649 psi, (down from 1011 last night), 71% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 30th of March 2020 AndyGarbs, BR14, Churchill, LM, NF, Vetran, WTFH, and I popped in, with me exercising The Leg by walking up & down the stairs 10 times, going out being verboten by Bunter & co at the time.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the grey gloom. Quite humid out there. The wax jacket might have been a bit over the top.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Toast: Izal Medicated Lavatory Paper.

Book.

The remainder of the privet carted off to the greenhouse to dry.

Raspberries and gooseberries picked. The gooseberry harvest is dreadful. Can't remember a year when there's been so few.

Mix: Oz customs S8 E2.

PBS: Titans of the cold war. Never previously been aware of Anthony Eden being defined as a Titan, but there you go, against Gamal Abdul Nasser. Suez. Our finest hour. .

And the septics got their earnest wish: the final destruction of the British Empire.

After which, of course, they start whining about the lack of support in Vietnam, the lack of a British fleet in the Pacific. Etc. Etc.

Be careful what you wish for.

Tea: beans on toast. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM. Cooked the raspberries and the gooseberries before they go in the fridge.

Dunno if there be owt on the idiot lantern this evening.

Afternoon all

Cloudy but dry and bright. Feels a bit humid and stuffy. Currently 25 degrees with a high of 26 expected. Barometer steady at 1017 mBar.

Sunrise 04:43; Sunset 21:22 BST

Awoke at some unearthly hour, pre-6am. I only succumbed to looking at the clock at 6am but I'd been awake and trying to ignore that state for some time prior. Needless to say, I'm feeling a bit tired.

Too many meetings today. Not much in the way of doing time available. Handover for gig2 has started, and lots of interesting things are coming out of the woodwork. Eight billings days left. Smile and invoice...

He did, in May 2017 when the chap was about ninety years old but still very much compos mentis - he quotes him quite a bit

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been nothing

I had multiple dependency updates to deal with this morning, which isn't arduous but is time-consuming. They took me through to about 13:15, so I decided to pop across town and get a haircut, being in dire need of one anyway but particularly wanting to get it done before the heatwave gets any worse

She was there, as her husband hasn't died yet, but there was one chap sitting in the chairs. I looked enquiringly at her and him, assuming he was first, but she laughed and waved me into the chair, saying "I can't take any more off him!" at which point I realised that the guy had a completely shaved head and was therefore unlikely to be waiting after all; turned out he was just having a chat after being shorn

So I didn't have to hang around and ended up back home exactly an hour after knocking off. It would have taken less than that but I checked the car's tyre pressures and topped two of them up before I left. And I decided that rather than bothering with lunch, I'll just grab a coffee and some biscuits and wait for teatime

all this talk of doing time takes me back to my yoof
