Monday Links from the Gap Between Teams Meetings vol. DCCCLXIII

Cheers xog! ...

I didn’t bother going in the end as it was too hot. They want to repeat one of the blood tests too and the earliest appointment they could give me for that was in August, so I now assume it isn’t that urgent ...

[NickFitz]

Tea has been an experimental pork and cider hot pot. Turned out very well, that did

And a bit of Police Interceptors to go with it

[NickFitz]

Lunch: a Pukka steak slice

Clear blue sky out there now

Just remembered I need to go down the surgery for another sample pot. I’ll do that later. At least I now know the pleasant route there and back through the “wild” bit of the park

It’s another grey start like yesterday and, like yesterday, expected to brighten up soon. I think it’s also less windy but there’s still a bit of a breeze, so the current 16°C “feels like” 13°; the predicted high of 27° is the highest for the next ten...

[NickFitz]

Tea has been pork chow mein

And to go with it, Shipwrecked: Nightmare at Sea on Netflix, about the Costa Concordia. The captain isn’t coming out of it very well

The soup has been divvied up. Not sure how I’ll squeeze it into the freezer TBH. I suppose...

[NickFitz]

Message from the GP: my urine sample couldn’t be processed due to a technical issue, so they need another one

They seem to think I have nothing better to do with my time than go over there to get a pot to piss in

[NickFitz]

Meanwhile in local (well, the other side of the city) news, a bloke’s been murdered and photos show the forensics tent they’ve put up over the scene is at the back gate of a house I lived in thirty-five years ago!

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a bowl of the chicken and pearl barley soup, which has turned out very well

It’s turned more Simpsonesque out now. I’m still feeling under the weather though

[NickFitz]

Cloudy and windy again, but with some blue patches here and there. It’s 16°C but “feels like” 13°, and it’s aiming a bit higher today with an expected 27° mid-afternoon. The barometers are down a touch at 1012/1020mB

The soup has...

[NickFitz]

Tonight’s reading was more of Ra because I’ve got quite into that now

Tomorrow is Tuesday, the most nondescript day of the week. But I’ve already improved it slightly for as I sleep, the slow cooker will be working on chicken soup

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been a roast chicken leg and chips with ketchup. Sometimes, the simple ways are the best

To go with it, the rest of the final episode of the New York Mob thing on Netflix. They lost

[NickFitz]

Interesting news this afternoon. There are various groupings at ClientGov and I can never work out whether any given one is a “portfolio” or a “profession”, but either way, I used to be in a particular one but the stuff I’m currently working on comes under a different one. (I’m not certain,...

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been leftover crispy duck with pancakes and plum sauce

[NickFitz]

Links are up

[NickFitz]

Apparently the football isn’t over yet but at least they’ve stopped doing the tennis now, leaving more time for reading

• How Tall Is Mount Rainier? New Measurements Show It's Shrinking. - ”Eric Gilbertson has a very particular set of skills. He climbs mountains all over the world, attempting to

It’s a grey and overcast start! Makes a change. It’s also pretty breezy, so the current temperature of 15°C “feels like” 11°; the expected high is a mere 25°. The barometers are steady at 1014/1022mB

[NickFitz]

There was more watery wildlife on this afternoon

Teatime viewing was 24 Hours in A&E

And tonight I read some more of Ra

Monday again tomorrow. Oh well, only two weeks until my week off!

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea was ribs and chips

This was primarily because it was quick and easy, as I’d spent much of the day mucking around with new forum stuff

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

Clear blue sky for the most part, with just a band of high wispy stuff a long way to the south. It’s quite breezy too, which is helping to get cooler air circulating through the flat. Currently 23°C out there and it’s only getting up to 28°, so high but not...
