I spent some time mucking around with some React.js stuff this afternoon. The other dev had done a chunk of the work, and they know React better than I do, so I wanted to check I’d be able to understand how things worked well enough to be able to carry on with it next week when they’ll be busy with something else - better to badger them with questions today rather than distracting them then! But I seem to have reached the “just about adequate at React” stage, as I was able to get some rather neat bits added to the UI without hassling them at all
Bit sick of it by now TBH. I shouldn’t buy the big ones, but if I get the smaller ones I tend to eat them all in one go
The rain came but seems to have gone, though there’s a 55% likelihood of it returning at teatime
And before lunch I found time to unmake the bed, so that's now airing and will be remade this evening with a new set of bedding I got from M&S recently
Dull, overcast, wet. Currently 8 degrees ('feels like' 6) with a high of 10 expected. Rain set to return this afternoon. Barometer up to 998 mBar.
Sunrise 07:53; Sunset 16:33 GMT
Gig 3 still not issued a contract but the boss of the person who hired my services wants a chat to go over the the wider context of the programme and let me know what's going on with the paperwork, so that's encouraging.
Chilly in here at 12.9 deg, 11.5 in the kitchen, 10 in the leanto.
982.5 mBar, 29 in Hg, 736.9 Torr, 14.25 psi, (up from 980.5 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile in March 2020 see yesterday.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: some theatrical luvey waffling on about weird plays and staging plays weirdly: The cherry orchard where the cast and orchestra are in boxes and the sound is only turned up when they're talking about the tree. . Went down well with the kiddies, not so well with the grownups who thought they'd paid to watch The cherry orchard. .
Book.
Walk (towpath, abbreviated) walked in the grey gloom with rain at the end.
Tea: beans on toast etc. Nice enough.
Entertainment: PM <click> Book.
Just discovered they've demolished one of the local Lidls plus 3 other shops so they can put up a bigger Lidl. Middle of Lidl on steroids!
Following yesterday's "wrong trousers", when I went into the garden at 6am it was drizzling, so I put on my waterproof trousers as well as the long coat. By about 6:45 it had stopped raining.
Raining again now, but it's looking a bit brighter to the east.
Another grey day, with a 60% chance of rain in the next hour but not after that - well, not until tonight. It’s 7°C (“feels like” 1°) with an expected 8° for much of the afternoon; the barometers are down a bit at 977/984mB
Thursday! Not sure how many meetings the day will be plagued with, but not too many if I’m lucky
