Knock ’em dead! ...

[NickFitz]

Lunch was a bratwurst in a couple of finger rolls, with curry ketchup and crispy onion bits

The rain seems to be gradually petering out, though I don’t think it’s stopped completely yet. It’s still very gloomy but in theory, there may be some sunshine late in the afternoon...

Morning denizens

I failed to bid you all goodnight last night

This was because I’d read more of Adulthood Rites, which seems very good now I’ve got used to not reading about wartime London. But after that, I got distracted reading about some API for a possible...

[NickFitz]

Tea has been beef and Hobgoblin casserole with some of the slightly spicy potato wedges I made last week, and peas

This was accompanied by another ’orrible murder in New York City, this time of a fashion designer killed by her spoilt and sociopathic rich kid boyfriend :blueli...

[NickFitz]

On the stroke of 17:00, my phone and watch together sounded the clarion call of an urgent reminder. What important task did I have to do? “Bake bread.” So the bread maker is now at work

I also remembered to put the mundane laundry on a little while ago

[NickFitz]

Welcome back! ...

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been some leftover Indian starter bits from Saturday

It’s cleared up outside and turned quite sunny and Simpsonesque now

[NickFitz]

Foggy start out! Very scenic

It’s relatively mild still, the colder weather having not yet arrived. Currently 14°C and the expected high for the day is 20°, but the barometers are continuing downwards to 1007/1015mB

There's a 15% chance of rain around 23:00 but...

[NickFitz]

This evening’s viewing was fare dodgers. The chap who always topped up his Oyster card in a shop next to a Tube station in West London but only ever tapped in 45 minutes later at a station in East London hadn’t really thought things through

Later, I continued reading Adulthood...

[NickFitz]

Burger and fries for tea

This was one the TTD burgers that are a bit smaller but have a really nice flavour. I’m out of sesame seed buns so I need to make some; the question is, do I make them smaller to fit one of these burgers, or larger so I can get two in them

[NickFitz]

Another Monday done. Only two more before my break!

This afternoon, I finally got around to turning my developer laptop on again to check there wasn’t anything on there that I needed. There wasn’t, so I shut it down, disconnected the cables (HDMI - mine, a USB lead - mine,...

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been chicken and barley soup with a crust of wholemeal

I need to bake a wholemeal loaf, as there’s only the crust from the other end left

[NickFitz]

Links are up

[NickFitz]

You should find it easier to concentrate on this lot now there are fewer American bombers flying overhead

• The Family Plan - ”When a little girl in Iowa was diagnosed with a rare incurable disease, her parents and their community came together to help her. They wound up making medical history.”

Morning denizens

Stratocumulus to the north and east, with mares’ tails to the south and west. Diagnosis: rain, but not today, according to the forecast. It’s 14°C and will soar to a balmy 21° for a while this afternoon, though it’s a bit breezy with it. The barometers are...

[NickFitz]

There wasn’t any wildlife stuff this afternoon because they put women’s football on instead

Teatime viewing was another episode of Emergency 24/7 in which they did a remarkably good job of saving a chap’s fingers after he’d had a mishap with a circular saw
...

[NickFitz]

Tea has been chicken in red wine sauce with chips and peas

Various bits of the new forum software have been tinkered with this afternoon

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

It’s a sunny day with just some high areas of mares’ tails here and there, and feels quite mild. It is, in fact, 16°C with an expected high of 19°, and the barometers are lingering around 1016/1024mB

I awoke fairly early and went back...

[NickFitz]

Monkey Life and other important stuff was on earlier

And tonight, the bed was duly made and I read more of Old Baggage

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea was brought to me from the South Indian place past the park. Very nice and rather zingy

I need to make the bed soon, as that’s been airing and I’d rather like to lie in it
