    This evening’s viewing was the latest episode of Ambulance

    And tonight’s reading was more of Death’s End

    Monday again tomorrow. But it’ll be Easter at the end of the week! Though a four-day weekend isn’t quite as cool as it used to be, given that I normally...

    Lunch earlier was a Pukka steak slice, and tea just now was chicken and chips, said fowl being seasoned enough to make it a bit zingy

    Lots of mucking around with the forum import stuff earlier. I ended up having to get vB5 running locally again which was a pain, but it was the only...

    Morning denizens

    It’s another grey start and it's still a bit breezy, though not as much as it was. Therefore, the 6°C we’re getting right now “feels like” -2°; the expected high is 10°, but will presumably also be discounted. The barometers are up a touch at 1015/1023mB...

    Monkey Life and other wildlife matters graced the screen today, and did a much better job of it than any of our human leaders ever manage

    And tonight, I continued reading Death’s End

    Early night now which will, through the power of BST, be transformed into a late night...

    Tea was brought to me from the East African place

    They don’t mess around there when it comes to chilli sauce! I had to take several breaks to blow my nose due to gustatory rhinitis

    Afternoon denizens

    It’s a windy day, with patches of blue sky to the west but mostly grey to the east - though a patch of blue has just appeared low in the northeast as well. Currently 8°C which is today’s high, but it “feels like” 0°. The barometers are up though, at 1013/1021mB....

    Tonight’s major motion picture premiere was The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996) in which a pornographer demonstrates how ridiculous the Constitution of the United States of America is successfully defends his right to free speech. Fair play on the Jerry Falwell defamation case

    And then...

    Tea has been a ribeye steak with fried onions and chips

    This was accompanied by E1 of Estonia, a documentary series about the ferry that sank in the Baltic in the 1990s. This is on HBO Max, which has just launched in the UK. I already have their blockbuster stuff like The Wire and...

    This afternoon has been largely spent on the new forum stuff, in which I eventually discovered I was falling foul of a decision I made about five years ago

    I’ve had to do a lot of work on the import of posts to ensure it goes smoothly, taking into account stuff relating to the...

    Lunch has been the rest of the cold roast chicken thighs, as they Needed to be Eaten™. However, for a bit of variety, I gave them a light dusting of Sweet & Smoky BBQ Seasoning and heated them up in the air fryer. They turned out very nicely; I’ll do that again

    Morning denizens <- it was when I started typing this

    Fairly busy start to the day once I’d arisen, so much so that I forgot to greet you all!

    It’s back to grey here and there’s been some drizzly showers, though they’re expected to have ended now. Currently...

    Things have taken a turn for the worse in Death’s End

    I’ve got to go to Big Sainsbury’s tomorrow, so I suppose I’d better get to sleep

    ​​​​​​​Goodnight all

    For tea, lamb burger and fries

    I’d forgotten I was watching the Netflix documentary about the Brazilian air crash! But there it was, halfway through the second episode (of three), so I finished watching that

    Lunch has been a couple of cold roast chicken thighs

    It’s been quite a frustrating morning. It’s Tech Debt Day, and one of the automated updates for our thing was to Black, the Python formatting tool. Unfortunately, they’ve introduced a change to one aspect of its formatting,...

    Morning denizens

    Bright, sunny day out with barely a wisp of cloud in the sky. The wind’s dropped too, though there are supposedly occasional gusts. It’s a cool start at 3°C with an expected high of 9°, and the barometers are soaring upwards at 1010/1018mB

    Tea tonight was chicken madras with rice and naan

    To go along with this, the rest of the Police Interceptors from last night

    I never got around to doing anything about the sink, as I decided that’s the kind of thing I’d rather leave to a day I’m not...

    Lunch has been a couple of leftover roast spuds with beef and gravy from Sunday

    There was a bit more rain this morning but it’s brightened up a bit now. Still very blustery though

    Yesterday, I did the mundane laundry in the morning and some bedding in the...

    Morning denizens

    Quite a bit of rain overnight and it’s still very breezy out. It’s mostly cloudy but with gaps towards parts of the horizon and in some other spots, leading to occasional sunny moments, though with a chance of more showers soon. Currently 4°C which “feels...
