Just logged on to the work machine for the farewell meeting for the other dev. Just me on this project now

I’m still not entirely clear what’s going to happen, and I don’t think anybody else is either. This service is supposed to be going into maintenance mode and will then...

I took three bags of cut-up corrugated cardboard, the packaging of the new desk, over to the bins; I hadn’t been able to get rid of them till now due to Bank Holiday bin shenanigans. It turned out that other people must also have been hoarding as I filled the space that was left in the next-to-last...

Shopping done!

I went over via the old flat to avoid the roadworks. The chestnut trees have their pink candles on

This fits in with their pattern of flowering a few weeks later than the one with white candles down at the end of next door’s garden here (or possibly...

Morning denizens

It’s rather grey, though there’s some blue sky to the north and west - I haven’t checked whether it's arriving or departing. There was a fair bit of rain off and on yesterday evening and maybe even overnight, and the air is still damp. Today’s expected to...

I finished reading XPD, in which - as predicted - nobody ended up getting what they wanted, except perhaps the head of MI6

Goodnight all

Tea has been sausages with chips and beans

I keep buying sausages to make a sausage casserole, then not feeling like sausage casserole when they need to be eaten

This was accompanied by the rest of last night’s Police Interceptors

[NickFitz]

Another week done!

Though I’ll log onto Teams briefly tomorrow afternoon, as there’s a short meeting to say farewell to the other dev

I was considering doing the shopping this evening but it’s Viz week which involves going to Big Sainsbury’s, so I think...

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

[NickFitz]

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...

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,...

Morning denizens

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...

The bodies continue to pile up in XPD

Goodnight all

KFC leftovers for tea

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

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