In Stalingrad, the Russians have encircled the Germans, much to the surprise and dismay of the latter. And it’s still only the start of December! Plenty of winter to come yet…

Goodnight all

I had Popeyes chicken and fries for tea. Made a nice change

And I finished watching the C5 thing about the Swedish sisters going crazy on the M6

Afternoon denizens

Another grey day, though not rainy, or not at the moment. It’s supposed to be a bit breezy but the minimal motion of the trees suggests that they may be exaggerating when saying the present 7°C, which is the high for the day, “feels like” -2°. The barometers...

Tonight’s major motion picture wasn’t a premiere, but it was Watchmen (2009), and the full three and a half hour version to boot. I first watched this a couple of years ago, but I think I might even buy the book because it’s a very good film but there’s probably bits in the book that they missed...

Tea has been steak and chips with fried onion

The bed has been remade!

Another week done!

I spent some time mucking around with some React.js stuff this afternoon. The other dev had done a chunk of the work, and they know React better than I do, so I wanted to check I’d be able to understand how things worked well enough to be able to carry on with...

Lunch has been the last bit of pork pie

Bit sick of it by now TBH. I shouldn’t buy the big ones, but if I get the smaller ones I tend to eat them all in one go

The rain came but seems to have gone, though there’s a 55% likelihood of it returning at teatime...

Morning denizens

Another grey day, with a 60% chance of rain in the next hour but not after that - well, not until tonight. It’s 7°C (“feels like” 1°) with an expected 8° for much of the afternoon; the barometers are down a bit at 977/984mB

Thursday! Not...

Tonight’s only viewing was the remainder of last night’s Police Interceptors

I must remember to watch E2 of that thing about the Swedish women who went berserk on the motorway.

In Stalingrad, mayhem continues - but winter has started, and the Germans have launched...

A bit of roast gammon out of the freezer with chips, fried egg, and beans for tea

It continued gloomy until nightfall here, but I think the rain’s finally petered out

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been the leftover belly pork from the other night, in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

Still grey and, I think, occasionally drizzly here

It’s a day of several meetings today, being the end of one sprint and start of another

Morning denizens

Grey day out there, and damp again after last night’s rain. It’s 4°C which “feels like” -2°, so maybe still a bit breezy too, with an expected high of 9°, and the rain’s expected to resume shortly and continue resuming for much of the day (95% tending...

Bad times in Stalingrad for both sides, though I reckon the Germans will have a harder time of it when winter comes

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has, eventually, been ribs and chips, made with my special mango BBQ sauce

Ribs take ages to cook, and this wasn’t helped by the fact I was busy working on something this afternoon which made me forget to pop them in the oven around 3pm

I chucked some...

I had to pop round to the chemist’s for the usual monthly prescription, and to my surprise it felt very slightly chilly but not the bitter cold I was expecting! Helps that the wind seems to have dropped a fair bit

It was the perfect excuse to continue popping a little further to the...

Bit of pork pie for lunch

It’s turned sunny out now, but the somewhat Simpsonesque clouds are still whizzing by at a rate of knots

As far as I know, our garden waste gets taken away by the gardener(s)

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

Grey day again, and windy too boot. There are a couple of tiny gaps letting light in, very near the horizon to the west, and the bits of cloud being blown past them have the raggedy look that comes from stormy, or at least breezy, weather. It’s not expected to...

[NickFitz]

More reading of Stalingrad tonight; the Germans have nearly made it there. Not many will come back

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been lamb steaks with chips and beans

This was accompanied by The Crash Detectives, in which nobody was killed this time - some life-changing injuries though. With various other serious offences also on the charge sheet, the arrogant young scrote responsible got nearly twenty...

Lunch: some leftover Thai bits from the other night

A bit garlicky for lunchtime TBH
