Turning cloudy here now

I got mildly confused this afternoon after sprint planning, thinking for some reason that it was Tuesday. I made myself a cup of coffee and just as it was ready, Teams started pinging with messages. Turned out it’s Wednesday and the weekly “huddle” for all digital people had just started! This worked out well, because I always make a coffee to have while I listen to that

And once that was done, I did an online Health & Safety course, thereby completing the mandatory training that I’ve been failing to renew for, I think, three years now. I believe there’s been pressure from the Cabinet Office so they’ve been chasing everybody about getting it done for the last few weeks

The day has considerably brightened up, and it's quite pleasant in the sunshine, but the cloud base is still very low.

This week I knitted a prime factors jumper. Basically each prime has a different colour (the light blue background is 1, which is a factor of everything) and the other numbers are represented by multiplying the primes. Quite pleased with it. Fits approx 2 year old who will be far too young to understand the maths, but my patience/arthritic knuckles didn't feel up to a bigger one!

Excellent!

[NickFitz]

Lunch: a bacon butty

Sunny here now

My lower back has been grumbling this week, but it seems a touch better today

My maths isn't up to it either.

Morning.

Wednesday.

Sunny. .

Dry.

Blue sky.

Chilly in here at 13.8 deg, 13 something in the kitchen, 11.5 in the leanto, 8 in the saltinghouse.

1019.5 mBar, 30.1 in Hg, 764.7 Torr, 14.786 psi, (down from 1021 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 19th of March 2020 covbob, Brillo, and LM popped in.

Washing frenzy in progress.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: R4 waffling on about fake self employment.

Shirts in off the line & duly iRoned & airing upstairs.

Entertainment: TWATO with much about the Fugging Egyptian Grocer & his vile brother. Followed by a thing about Evelyn Waugh and "Black Mischief" which, it transpires, I have on a bookshelf across the room though I've never read it (two copies of course as is only rite & proper, like). Must get around to reading the Crouchback "Sword of Honour" trilogy, this being the one I recall listening to on the wireless some half century ago though bits of it were televised a couple of decades ago (2001 as it happens, with that Daniel Craig chap: good script but poor direction apparently).

Blue sky from horizon to horizon. Very sunny. .

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the warm sunshine. Two layers fewer & I was still warm, too warm by the end.

Now outside a cup of mediocre yet consistent coffee.

Tea: Tesco breaded? battered? cod?: nice enough.

Everything in off the line & the last of it is in the TD to finish off.

Entertainment: PM. Disgusting septic heavy metal rock while they kill people. Fecking animals. The sooner that bunch are behind bars the better. Or underground. Especially that Orange Mother****er.

Scotland Yard:

Alice Roberts: Hospital through time:

The Bad Skin Clinic:

Morning all
CBS, etc, and a chilly 5C on our walk earlier. A little mist in the valleys and a lot of dew on the grass. Looks like a pleasant day. Off to the airport later to go visit my dad.

Morning denizens

Grey start out, and slightly misty if one looks far enough away. Feels a bit chilly too, and the figures bear this out as it’s only 4°C, though it’ll get sunnier this afternoon and soar to 13°. The barometers are steady at 1014/1022mB

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Cloudy, dry. Currently 6 degrees ('feels like' 3) with a high of 16 expected. Sunshine later. Barometer down to 1026 mBar.

Sunrise 06:40; Sunset 17:47 GMT

On my way to clientCo office.

[NickFitz]

Tonight’s reading was more of …Lose the Time War, though I also found time to read up on some slightly obscure aspects of SwiftUI

Tomorrow will be a day of many meetings, because it’s sprint end/start day

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been the pork in cider thing with chips

And the accompanying viewing was The Truth About My Murder on iPlayer, being the case of a young woman from Neath who was murdered by her boyfriend on the Bwlch Mountain road in 2007

Another day done, so that’s half the working week out of the way!

Unlike yesterday, I managed to be highly productive today. I was able to demo some stuff for the stakeholders at lunchtime, which they were happy with despite the UI being a bit messy. And this afternoon, I managed to sort out a whole load of the cosmetic messiness, along with rejigging the URL scheme to make certain things easier to implement, and get the whole app in reasonable shape for a demo in the Show & Tell tomorrow morning

Afternoon all.
hard morning pissing off PM's today.
Hey, i deserve my fun, i work hard for it

Lunch has been warm salt beef with English mustard and sliced wally's on sourdough.
Very nice too.
lovely day here, CBS with a light breeze. v springlike.

Nice sunny and warmish walk after my arty farty thing. Had to give a lift there to a lady (not on loony lady list) I know as she has broken her toe and ankle. Second fracture she's had in 6 months, old ladies get very fragile.

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been leftover kleftiko and roast spuds from Friday. Made a very nice change from the usual lunchtime options

Interest just announced. £175 this month, that's £475 for the calendar year and £1100 for the tax year

Three prizes for me, though only £25 each. Still, £75 is better than nowt

That makes £125 for this year, £1350 for the tax year
