It wouldn't be a proper CUK upgrade without some teething issues.

True!
I just got a couple of “unexpected database errors” just viewing pages. No idea where they might be coming from; I don’t have access to the servers, so I’ll just have to work out as much as I can and pass it along
And I just got another error, which came from the smilie lookup at the end of the previous sentence
But I had a look in the browser console, and it was also a database connection thing

There was some wildlife stuff on this afternoon, though I had difficulty concentrating it while I was vacuuming the sofa 
Tonight I continued reading A Quiet Place, in which events have taken a shocking turn
Outside, it sounds very much like the Western Front on a busy day, due to Diwali
Monday again tomorrow. Five weeks until I break up for Christmas
Goodnight all

- A mineshaft trying to avoid the fallout.
Morning.
Monday.
Up at 07:00 to fit in the showering, loading washing machine, etc. before the appointment with Jack Hargreaves.
Dry.
Hints of sun to come.
Bit frosty on the cars.
Blue sky.
14.4 deg in here, 13.4 in the kitchen, 9 in the leanto, 4 out the back, 4 in the salting house.
1012 mBar, 29.88 in Hg, 759 Torr, 14.6778 psi, (down from 1014 last night), 62% RH (Lidl electric).
Entertainment: Jack Hargreaves Old Country: the one about the junk sale in a downpour.
Washing frenzy in progress: all out on the line awaiting the forecast light winds because it's flat calm out there at the moment.
Shopping trip to Morrisons is imminent.
Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine. Warm it wasn't. 1 conversation.
Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away. Got another £5 voucher.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: thing about Napoleon on R4. Dashcam bollox S1 E1.
Thing about 1956 & all that, with Mr Eden getting himself into hot water over Egypt.
That requiring the iRon has received its attentions & is now airing upstairs, though the shirt collars on the twill shirts were a bit damper than I'd like.
Entertainment: The Infinite Monkey Cage S34 "The North Pole": the final ep with Robin Ince, being, apparently, the Xmas Day ep.
Alaska Homestead Rescue: the Haas homestead: 23 acres of homestead with 22 acres being underwater. Watched it before so of little innerest other than the remarkable chest on the homestead owner.
. Looks very much as if I've now watched all of these. <click>
Tea: chicken in white sauce etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM. 9 years with Bubba. Well there's a thing..
The towels ended up in the TD to finish off: they were almost dry before & they're not much different now..
Entertainment: Bab5 S5 E22 "Sleeping in Light": now we get to watch E22 of S4, which is what this ep is, having been prepared thusly in case S5 never happened, which it did, so S5 E1 ended up as S4 E22 as a sort of filler ep when the renewal with a different network came through. From tomorrow it's the 2 hour "specials", none of which are particularly brilliant but do fill in some story holes here & there.
"Maigret (Cremer) and the Liberty Bar (1997)": sunny. South coast. Not raining. Must have made a pleasant change.
The last 10 minutes of the Oak Island nutjobbery. No doubt they'll forget about everything that happened last week & launch a new exploration somewhere else. As per usual, really. They find: brick, a square thing in the swamp with said bricks & chunks of slate, some wood, a fancy button with a flower pattern, made in two parts, a possible "void" in the latest borehole. And next week: they look down the square thing & the metal detectors go insane with excitement. Apparently.
Some other Blazian bollox: History's Mysteries: who killed King Tut? Well whoever it was is beyond justice now.. Not only that, I don't give a tulip.

Morning denizens
It’s very foggy here
In fact, it’s continuing in much the same vein as it has for the last few days. Currently 5°C and aiming for 8°, and the barometers continue their gradual movement downwards at 1007/1015mB
Last night’s bread was a bit of a failure in exactly the same way as last time: it apparently didn’t rise properly, leading to a dense base, and the top collapsed during baking, suggesting that to the extent it did rise, it couldn’t support itself. I suspect it’s the flour, as nothing else has changed. Unfortunately, I can’t remember which brand I bought last time, nor which brand I got before that didn’t do this

Morning all
Dull, overcast. Slight dampness. Currently 6 degrees with a high of 9 expected. Barometer down to 1018 mBar.
Sunrise 07:09; Sunset 16:21 GMT
PC still continues to freeze but I can't work out why.
Chilly start to the morning due to the boiler having low pressure. It's been about 3 weeks since I last repressurised it but I can't see any obvious signs of a leak.
I forgot it was Diwali; that explains the 1 am fireworks that kept me awake.

yes, it was the unexpected database error. But you expected that
