Could be! As you know, it sometimes struggles to cope with moderator activity ...

In The Dark Forest, it seems the people of Earth may have underestimated the technological capabilities of the approaching alien fleet

Monday again tomorrow. Two more weeks until Easter…

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been a roast beef dinner

And to go with this, the latest episode of Ambulance

[NickFitz]

Don't mind me, just testing something… ...

Annoying, wasn't it?

I vaguely recall seeing it do this before, and clearing the caches sorted it out. But I don't have access to that any more

If it's any consolation, I'm busy working away on the migration to the new software, which will solve all our problems…...

Morning denizens

Had a bit of a sleep-in this morning and feel well rested, for which much thanks

There’s a very high, thin cloud covering over the eastern part of the sky, tending towards mackerel sky in the west, so it’s bright enough but not truly sunny. It’s...

Monkey Life and other animal magic constituted the majority of today’s viewing

And tonight, I read some more of The Dark Forest

Goodnight all

Tea tonight was brought to me from the south Indian place past the park. Very nice, as usual

[NickFitz]

Afternoon denizens

It’s sunny out, with a few wisps of cloud here and there. Mild too, being 12°C and shortly to be 13°. The barometers continue to descend, being at 1007/1015mB

Tonight’s major motion picture premiere was Superman (2025) which was pretty good, I thought; if you’re going to do a new Superman film, it should probably be done this way

And then a rewatch of F1 (2025) which is an entertaining film as it goes. I once got a call from an agent about...

Tea has been lamb tagine with rice

This was from the Sainsbury’s TTD slow-cooked range, rather than my homemade one, in part because I realised I have no way of telling if mine is coming out right without anything to compare it to

Mine tastes pretty similar,...

It’s just a small community centre run by volunteers in an area of Manchester that has a lot of Irish people, as far as I can tell. They offer advice and support with various things like benefits and housing for that community, and also offer this service of checking your paperwork for the foreign...

Shopping has been done!

It was Big Sainsbury’s in the end. I was tempted to just go to Not-as-Big, but Diligent Me castigated Lackadaisical Me, pointing out that I was supposed to be getting a set of passport photos of the standard required by the government of the Republic of...

Morning denizens, and a happy Vernal Equinox (due at 14:46) to you all!

I awoke around half seven and decided there was no need to rush into things, so went back to sleep. I then re-awoke a bit before ten and felt much better for it, so I assume I needed the extra sleep...

The Dark Forest continues to entertain with some intriguing ideas

Goodnight all

Tea: Guinness-braised beef short ribs with chips

I misjudged the portion sizes when freezing that, and couldn’t finish it all! Must have been hungry when I was divvying it up

Accompanying viewing was E1 (of 3) of A Tragedy Foretold: Flight 3054 on Netflix, about...

[NickFitz]

Another week done!

Still sunny out, but there seems to be some high, thin cloud developing in the distance. There’s a light breeze developing too

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a chicken butty

This was Sainsbury’s TTD stuffing-topped chicken breast. OK, but nothing to write home about

Still sunny

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

It’s another sunny start with a mostly clear blue sky - just a few wisps and vapour trails here and there. It won’t be quite as warm as yesterday, being 5°C with an anticipated high of 15°. It may start to cloud over in the afternoon, too. The barometers have...

[NickFitz]

All kinds of strange things are happening in The Dark Forest, as so often happens in such tales

Thursday tomorrow!

Goodnight all
