Monday Links from the Gap Between Teams Meetings vol. DCCCXLVIII

Let the long weekend commence!

I had quite a productive day, but didn’t get around to having lunch because I popped down to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s and got the shopping out of the way

And I also stripped the bed and left the mattress to air, so I must remember...

Same - I was just about to stow the laptop for the night when I saw a post on Bluesky about them being “Go for launch” ...

Morning denizens

It’s “mostly cloudy” out, meaning the occasional sliver of blue between many clouds, which are shifting along a bit as there’s a light breeze too. Just 5°C at the moment with an expected high of 10°. The barometers are down a little more at 1010/1018mB...

[NickFitz]

I see they’re off to the Moon again

Meanwhile in Death’s End, the Solar System is having a pretty bad time of it

Thursday tomorrow! And a long weekend!

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been sausages and bacon with chips and beans

To go along with this, The Truth About My Murder E4, in which a bloke in Pembroke Dock smashed his mother’s head in during lockdown, and then carried on living in the flat with her body for two months before anybody found out...

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a pancetta omelette

I was supposed to be heading south on Friday for the traditional family Easter get-together, though it’s not quite traditional as it always used to be on Sunday. But one of my nieces has had to cancel and suggested moving it to Saturday in a...

[NickFitz]

I wonder if trees produce more pollen at night? I’ve been OK during the day, then getting the irritated nasal membranes towards bedtime

I remembered to take a loratadine before going to sleep last night. Don’t know if it helped, as I still didn’t get to sleep for quite a long...

It’s another grey one, though not windy; not expected to brighten up later either. Currently 7°C and aiming for 13° while the barometers are down a bit at 1013/1022mB

[NickFitz]

This evening’s viewing was Forensics: The Real CSI

Later, more of Death’s End

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

That’s consecutive wins, BTW - total wins (including today’s) is 1418 ...

[NickFitz]

Tea has been spare ribs in my not-secret mango-based BBQ sauce, with chips. Turned out nice again

We had some sunnier spells in the afternoon, but still a lot of cloud about

My Globle streak is 248 at the moment - it’ll be 249 once I do today’s in a few...

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been leftover zingy chicken bits

Quite variable weather out again, but mostly grey

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

I see I forgot to wish everybody good night last night. Sorry! For the record, I read more of Death’s End, in which humanity once again finds the Universe to be a bit more complicated than they realised

I really struggled to get to sleep last...

[NickFitz]

Tea has been toad in the hole with onion gravy. Made a nice change

This was accompanied by a bit of the motorway-adjacent cops plus dashcam clips programme

[NickFitz]

Another day done; three days to Easter

The weather continues to take a constantly changing variety of forms. Something for everyone!

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a leftover pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

Very changeable weather today. It keeps going extremely gloomy, then turning sunny, then back again. It’s actually starting to look rather Simpsonesque at the moment, but will it last?

[NickFitz]

Links are up

[NickFitz]

Spring continues mostly grey and dull, but this doesn’t matter of you spend all your time online instead of going outside

• A bookkeeper stole $7.6 million from her employer. How did no one notice? - Canadiamns, it seems, can be a little too trusting: ”She had her boss’s unquestioning trust—even

Morning denizens

About half-an-hour ago there was a thin patch in the cloud towards the east through which the sun, though not visible as such, was able to cast a bright diffuse light. But this mistake has been corrected, and it’s now uniformly grey with a shower spitting light...

[NickFitz]

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...
