Tea has been a ribeye steak with chips, fried onions, and beans

This was going to be accompanied by a police thing that I’d stopped watching ages ago, but couldn’t remember why. A few minutes reminded me: it’s constantly cutting to a couple of ex-cop talking heads who utter...

Lunch was a cold sausage bap (white)

Before that, I spent a couple of hours dealing with the post import process on the new forum software. Turns out there are a few tricky bits to do with ensuring quotes in posts are updated to point back to the source correctly, and one or two...

Morning denizens

The rainy part of the storm has moved on in the night and though it’s still very windy, the sun is shining as the cirrostratus recedes to the east. It’s 5°C but “feels like” -4°, and the expected high for the day is only 9°. The barometers are down to...

It’s been raining extremely heavily here. Eased off slightly now but still going, and it’s still very windy too

I read some more of The Three-Body Problem tonight

Friday tomorrow! And with the shopping done today, I only have one or two errands to run, picking...

Tea: shepherd’s pie

Along with that, the rest of the motorway cops thing I started watching last night

[NickFitz]

There were a few spots of rain at lunchtime, but now it’s become very windy and has started teeming down

And in other news: new series of Ambulance on iPlayer!

Another week done!

Lunch was very late, as I nipped up to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s for such bits as I needed and by the time I got back, the other dev was ready to start looking at some stuff. So I worked with her on that until we both got bored determined, in our professional opinions,...

Morning denizens

It’s a cloudy sort of start again and going to be pretty windy all day, with rain expected this evening. It’s 8°C but “feels like” -2°, with an expected high of 12° that presumably won’t feel much better. The barometers are down some more at 997/1005mB...

[NickFitz]

I managed some productive meddling around with SwiftUI during the evening

And I read some more of The Three-Body Problem

Thursday tomorrow!

It’s our Tech Debt day. There’s some stuff the PM wants us to focus on, which the other dev has...

Pork cutlet with chips and beans for tea

And a bit of the motorway cops thing to go with it

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a cold chicken leg

It was supposed to get quite gloomy here but if it did, I missed it. It’s tending towards the Simpsonesque out there now. Still very breezy though

The daffodils in the central flowerbed have bloomed

Morning denizens

Sunny start with some cloud, but it’s starting to cloud over. There was some rain and quite a high wind last night and it’s still a bit breezy, so the current 7°C “feels like” 1°; the expected high is 11°. The barometers are down to 994/1002mB ...

[NickFitz]

I managed a bit more SwiftUI tinkering earlier

And in The Three-Body Problem, the plot thickens

Goodnight all

Tea has been leftover East African BBQ bits from Saturday night

This was accompanied by Forensics: The Real CSI on iPlayer

Another day done, and half the working week out of the way

Having spent much of yesterday and this morning trying to deal with one last small detail that was messing up the three impossible things I got working last week, I finally cracked it this afternoon!

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a cold sausage bap (white)

It’s rather Simpsonesque out now, though it still seems to be a bit chilly, judging by the fresh air coming from the open kitchen window

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

The weather app insists it’s cloudy out, but in reality there’s quite a lot of cirrus and cirrostratus with plentiful gaps of blue sky between, so it’s actually sunny right now with occasional brief spells of shade. Apparently it’s going to get windy, leading...

[NickFitz]

I read more of The Three-Body Problem, which I’m enjoying - the story seems to be developing in an interesting direction

And I also got a bit of SwiftUI stuff working that I’d thought would be more complicated than it turned out to be

Goodnight all ...

Tea: lamb steaks with chips and beans

This was accompanied by the final part of the Netflix thing about Three Mile Island. The capitalists got their way, as usual

[NickFitz]

So he is!

I checked the drone shot, but it wasn’t while I was there ...
