Monday Links from the Gap Between Teams Meetings vol. DCCCLIV

Lunch has been Heinz tomato soup with toast

Quite sunny out, but there’s a lot of cloud and the trees are shimmying a lot

Morning denizens

It’s cloudy but with some blue patches towards the west, and there seems to have been more rain overnight. It’s expected to stay cloudy all day, and the breeze must persist as the current 6°C “feels like” 3°; the day’s high will be 12°. The barometers...

This evening’s viewing was a bit of a new Police Interceptors

And later I read more of XPD but didn’t quite get to the end. British, American, and Russian intelligence are all treading on each other’s toes, and I daresay it’ll end up being a fiasco for all of them ...

Tea: pork cutlet with chips and beans

The weather’s been very changeable today, including a thunderstorm this afternoon! It seems to be turning reasonably pleasant out there now though

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a corned beef butty

This made use of the white load baked last night, which turned out really well

Heavy rain for a bit this morning, and it remains changeable out there. It brightened up for a couple of minutes just now, then immediately went back...

Morning denizens

It’s a grey start with traces of overnight rain, though there’s a patch of blue to the WNW that might move our way as the wind is from that direction. But it’s expected to get windier and cloudier, with the likelihood of rain varying between 30% and 50% for...

Tea was beef & Guinness casserole with chips

This was accompanied by the third part of the HBO documentary about the French trader. Definitely stitched up by the bank, but it doesn’t seem as if he’s going to dodge some prison time

And finally some more...

[NickFitz]

Lunch was the very last leftovers from KFC

Sick of their stuff now for another couple of months. I always order too much thinking it’ll come in handy for lunch during the week, but can’t stand the sight of it by the time I’ve done with it

This afternoon,...

It’s cloudy but more layered with bigger gaps this morning, so the sun manages to get through occasionally as it ascends the heavens. It’s 7°C and aiming for 14°, and the barometers are back up a little at 1003/1011mB

I made a couple of posts...

[NickFitz]

The bodies continue to pile up in XPD

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

KFC leftovers for tea

To go along with it, the second episode of To Think Like a Killer on iPlayer

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been the same as yesterday: hot wings and ketchup

[NickFitz]

If Starmer announced that in future there'd be a Bank Holiday Monday every two weeks, all his troubles would disappear

Morning denizens

It’s a rather gloomy, grey start here and started raining in a fine, drizzly way about five minutes ago, just when I was poking my head out of the bedroom window for a breath of morning air. I saw two magpies though, so let joy be unconfined! It’s 7°C which...

[NickFitz]

Today’s viewing was David Attenborough again, though at least it included his programmes about Singapore, which featured the otters of that parish

Monday again tomorrow. Still two weeks till the next Bank Holiday

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been a chicken traybake with cherry tomatoes, shallots, and Middle Eastern seasoning. This was accompanied by spicy potatoes roasted in duck fat

[NickFitz]

Lunch earlier was some hot wings with ketchup

I ventured over to the bins to see whether there was room for all the cardboard that came with the desk. No, was the answer; all the bins are full to overflowing. Looks like I was right to suspect they’d failed to account for the Bank...

Morning denizens

It’s cloudy again, but seems a bit gloomier with it than yesterday and is noticeably breezier, though some slivers of blue sky are to be seen here and there. The current 11°C “feels like” 5° because of the wind, and the expected high is only 14°, coinciding...

[NickFitz]

No Monkey Life today as they continued their reruns of anything they could lay their hands on that had David Attenborough in it. Oh well, he’s always good

Later, I read more of XPD. This stands for “Expedient Demise”, BTW, and even the guy from MI6 is starting to wonder whether his...
