Shopping done!

I’m still not sure what I want for tea tonight, but now I have multiple options

There was a lane closure on the dual carriageway going there due to the ongoing works on something at the edges of the roads, but it didn’t cause too much of a delay...

Morning denizens

There’s mackerel sky and mares’ tails high up but it’s mostly sunny, though expected to turn cloudier towards lunchtime. It’s mild at 11°C with 16° expected later, and the barometers are up one more notch at 1005/1013mB

I need to go...

This evening’s viewing was the second episode of the thing about the French rogue trader, though it’s increasingly clear that the bank were delighted with what he was doing and happy to turn a blind eye until it all went pear-shaped and they needed someone to blame

Then I...

Ribs and chips for tea

That’s the last of the homemade ribs out of the freezer. Time to make some more!

[NickFitz]

That’s the week done!

We didn’t have any security updates or team-wide tech debt stuff to work on, so the other dev suggested having a look at some continuous integration improvements she’d started on when I was off the other week, though she admitted she found it really...

Fish finger bap (wholemeal, red sauce) for lunch

Still sunny but the cumuli are increasing in both number and volume

I was going to dash down to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s to do the shopping over lunchtime, but then remembered I’ve got a parcel from the Folio...

Morning denizens

It’s a sunny start with just a few wisps and strands of cloud here and there and a distant clump of cumuli, low on the southern horizon. It’s 7°C with an expected high of 15°, and the barometers are nominally up (but hovering around the same sort of level)...

I finished Goodbye Mickey Mouse. It’s good; a kind of USAAF counterpart to Bomber. Then I move on to his XPD, which is one of his spy stories

Thursday tomorrow!

Despite having Monday off, this has felt like a long week. I need another holiday

Beef and Gunness casserole with chips for tea

Quite a pleasant and fairly sunny evening out, though a bit breezy

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a bratwurst with the usual trimmings

Cloudier now than it was, but still some blue bits here and there

Earlier, there was a kerfuffle between a crow and a magpie. I think the crow had gone poking around at the road end of the block opposite, and the...

Morning denizens

It’s a sunny start with some small fluffy bits hanging around, mainly lower down towards the horizon. Likely to get cloudier towards lunchtime though. The breeze got a bit breezier yesterday evening, so the current 6°C “feels like” 3°; the expected high is...

Nearly finished Goodbye Mickey Mouse, in which the story is developing in unexpected ways

I discovered this morning that it’s actually next week that the other dev finishes, so I have more time to pick her brains than I thought

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been some leftover Turkish bits with chips

This was accompanied by E1 of To Think Like a Killer on iPlayer, a three-parter about Dr. Ann Burgess who worked with the FBI in the 1980s to develop the techniques of psychological profiling that they now use to catch serial killers...

That’s Tuesday out of the way

Things went pretty well today. I got a slightly gnarly feature working, which was nice as it had already resulted in two or three side quests when working on it had exposed unusual edge cases

Then, as I still had about fifteen minutes...

Lunch: leftover pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

And last night’s wholemeal loaf turned out extremely well, being just the right consistency for toast at breakfast

The desk hasn’t collapsed yet! I’m still getting used to the extra space though....

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

Quite a lot of cloud about this morning, but also quite a lot of gaps allowing for sunny spells. The cloud’s expected to win by lunchtime, though. It’s 9°C with an expected high of 15°, and the barometers seem uncertain, being down but only a notch, at 1002/1010mB...

[NickFitz]

This evening's viewing was a new episode of Traffic Cops (the other new episodes have still not returned, so this was something like episode 18 of a series which only started a few weeks ago and of which only two others are available - 6 and 14, or something weird like that). It was a good one, being...

[NickFitz]

Tea has been a bit of a fry-up

And in other culinary activity, the bread maker is working its magic on what will end up as a wholemeal loaf

[NickFitz]

Lunch earlier was some leftovers

I’ve gone through some stuff in the study. But my back is a bit grumbly today and doesn’t like me bending or hunching over sorting through stuff, so I’ll leave it for now

Yesterday, my back was OK! I ended up with complaints...
