Lunch: a Pukka steak slice

Clear blue sky out there now

Just remembered I need to go down the surgery for another sample pot. I’ll do that later. At least I now know the pleasant route there and back through the “wild” bit of the park

Watch out for marauding grizzlies whilst you're at it. Can't be too careful these days..

Local history group coffee meet this morning. Bit sparse as location probably rather to far for some. One lady dun alf yack, hard to get a word in. Scrabble with old neighbour soon. Oh for the old days when meeting up with ladies was sometimes for more inneresting things.

Tea has been an experimental pork and cider hot pot. Turned out very well, that did

And a bit of Police Interceptors to go with it

First episode of the new series of The Piano watched.

Apparently there's some form of association football on.

I didn’t bother going in the end as it was too hot. They want to repeat one of the blood tests too and the earliest appointment they could give me for that was in August, so I now assume it isn’t that urgent

I finished reading Ra tonight. It’s very good; he mentioned on Bluesky that he’s given some thought to rewriting it for “proper” publication as he did with There is No Antimemetics Division, though I suspect he’ll probably work on a new story instead

Thursday tomorrow! And it’s Tech Debt day

Today, I was able to release the stuff I’ve been finishing off (along with adding some new bits we hadn’t realised we needed until very recently) for the last few weeks. This was a bit complicated to deal with as it’s the stuff for getting data from our service into the data warehouse, so I had to make sure the data pipelines worked and then get a different team to approve them before they could be deployed, and also get the stuff that implements the necessary APIs on our end tested and released. But when all that was done, I enabled the pipelines and triggered a manual run of the new ones, and it all worked! So I think that’s safely out of the way and tomorrow will be relatively peaceful, just dealing with security upgrades for various dependencies, and removing some stuff to do with an external service that’s being decommissioned at the end of the month

Goodnight all
