    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

    Made it to Cádiz over an hour late thanks to late running trains. Now wondering if the train we've booked back next week needs to be changed to an earlier time.

    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 I’ll leave it till tomorrow morning

    Old fart Majongy thing this morning. I came last for the seciod week running. GRUMP! Emailed a neighbour with a copy of a photo I took at village art exhibition because it looked so like her. Turned out it was, she posed for the artist but never received a copy. Printed one out and took it to her this morning. Portrait, not nude unfortunately.

    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 all, Sevilla calling, local time 10:26

    Sunny with fluff. Currently 19 degrees ('feels like' 21) with a high of 26 expected . Barometer at 1014 mBar

    Sunrise 07:16; Sunset 21:25 CEST

    Our journey yesterday was uneventful despite some delays leaving CDG. Our hotel is in a good location and the breakfast is proving helpful at soaking up the wine, sherry and gin consumed last night. HWMBO was served the hugest measure of brandy after dinner because the bottle was close to being finished. Dinner was absolutely superb with such good service, I left a tip.

    This afternoon we take the train to Cádiz.

    Morning all 5:30 dog walk dodged the showers, then when we got back in I moved the 14 shed roof panels down the garden in preparation for them to go on tonight, if I get the last two trusses built.

    Ready for a rest.

    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 are steady at 990/998mB

    Morning.

    Thursday apparently.

    Damp.

    Grey.

    Hints of blue sky.

    Sunless.

    Cooler still in here at 16 deg, 15 in the kitchen, 13 in the leanto.

    1001 mBar, 29.56 in Hg, 750.8 Torr, 14.52 psi, (unchanged), 62% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 27th of March 2020 openstrike, LM, and NF popped in, as did I, whereas eek popped in a lot on a bug hunt and my purchasing mistake of gluten free wheat free spag was unpleasantly unpleasant and totally free of any taste whatsoever.

    Sleep, such as it was, proved to be intermittent, but a weird dream managed to slip in there just before waking.

    The Knee is proving impervious to drugs, which is irritating.

    Raining.

    Sun's out.

    Doze taken whilst "listening" to something on R4 about The Sahara. Followed by something about something else.

    Mug of coffee.

    Raining.

    Entertainment: WWI in numbers. Gosh. Closer run thing than I'd realised. . Septics getting their arses kicked initially due to disregarding advice from those who'd been fighting for 3.5 years.

    "Hitler's Silver Arrows": the evolution of the Mercedes and Autounion Grand Prix cars.

    Sunny.

    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Scamwatch. Sliced Bread: kitty litter. <click>.

    Book. Other book. Another other book.

    Freecell score: box comes up with NTLDR error which is odd since it's Win98. . Reboot twice and: 100%, running average: 84%.

    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

    Thursday tomorrow!

    But it’s also my last day working with the other dev

    Goodnight all

    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

    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 to very gloomy

    Light ran at 5:30, then it dried up until just after we got in from our walk.
    Shed walls were put up last night, and the plan is to get the roof trusses on this evening, then the roof on tomorrow night.

    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 every hour from 11am to nightfall. Though it's 8°C, it “feels like” 1°, and the expected high is only 11°; the barometers are retreating downwards at 990/998mB
