Having dealt with a minor security update this morning, I was able to pop along to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s and get the shopping done at lunchtime

After I was back, I was due for a meeting with a user researcher to gather my opinion of some documentation of a new process I want to adopt for deployments. I’d been through the docs and made notes, which he greatly appreciated, and I’m hoping they’ll be able to make some improvements as I’m pretty sure I’d be unable to complete the process without help as things currently stand

With that done, I finally had a few minutes to spare for lunch, which was some of those cold cocktail sausages as they’re quick and easy

Back to the fray now

Morning all

Started off cloudy and grey, now it's sunny with lumps of fluff. A gentle breeze is wafting in my office window. Currently 22 degrees ('feels like' 25) with a high of 26 expected. Barometer down to 1021 mBar.

Sunrise 04:49; Sunset 21:21 BST

A quiet day, meetings wise. I might get some work done.

I'd not say it was raining or even drizzling earlier, but the air was damp.

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning.

Thursday.

Damp.

Grey.

Sunless.

Dreary.

21.6 deg in here, 23 in the kitchen, 20 in the leanto.

1015.5 mBar, 29.9876 in Hg, 761.7 Torr, 14.73 psi, (down from 1017 last night), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 31st of March 2020 NF was trying to get the surgery to sort out his meds, whilst vetran and LM were speaking Spanish & quoting Bart Simpson. I wonder if LM found out how long that pineapple lasted. .

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Classic Movies: The Dam Busters. No mention of Guy Gibson's dog. .

Secret Nazi Bases: Peenemunde. <click>.

Tea: well it's Thursday, thusly: baked beans, probably with baked spud.

Entertainment: Bab5 S1 E18. "A voice in the wilderness". I wonder why I'm watching this on Freesat when the dvds are on a shelf to my right.

Morning denizens

It’s a clear blue sky above while a ring of cumuli lurk low on the horizon It’s also pretty windy (19mph, gusts to 32mph), which started last night and will continue all day. As a result, the present 16°C “feels like” 11°; the expected high is 22°, and the barometers are heading downwards at 1007/1015mB

Thursday!

[NickFitz]

This evening’s viewing was the second episode of the Philadelphia mob thing, in which the FBI are realising that as soon as you put one boss away, a rival boss takes over

And in A Game of Birds and Wolves, the great success of the anti-U-boat game has led to a number of Wrens, often just out of school, becoming the world’s leading experts on anti-submarine warfare, despite having no seafaring experience beyond taking the ferry over the water to Birkenhead and back

Thursday tomorrow! And it’s Tech Debt Thursday, so with a bit of luck I’ll have time to do the shopping at lunchtime - I only need to go to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s

Goodnight all

[ladymuck]

The day at the office was as expected. The PM and I nearly missed a meeting because we were too busy gossiping. Then we went for a long lunch in the pub before leaving at 4pm.

[NickFitz]

Tea has been spag bol

Lunch was just some crisps because I was quite busy

[ladymuck]

Final day done. Invoice prepped but I'll issue it tomorrow (as well as one for gig1) as it's the start of a whole new financial year.

I don't know why I dreamt up that load of cobblers. My financial year starts on 1 August.

[xoggoth]

Waiting around for a bloke to come and dredge me oil tank, outlet is blocked. Scrabble with me old lady neighbour later.

Otherwise, apart from me walky, just more fixing of me shed, got some new roof felt. What fun. Not.

Wednesday.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Classic Movies: Kind Hearts and Coronets. Who says mass murder can't be funny?

Paul Murton on 3 remote Scottish Islands: Heillsgeir, Sula sgeir, North Rona. Remote is putting it mildly.

Am Dro Selebs: <click> Expedition Unknown thing about Stonehenge, SuperHenge, Avebury, Bryn Celli Ddu, Ring of Brodgar, Stones of Stennish and something they've found underwater which wasn't underwater 5000 years ago but might have inspired the henge concept.

Further out of town with Jack Hargreaves. Nice butterflies. Fishing.

Tea: Tesco battered haddock. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM <click> UFO bollox on Blaze.

Out of Town with Jack Hargreaves. More fishing. And an agricultural show.

Bab5. S1 E17. "Legacies". The missing body one with a telepath thrown in for good measure.

Something else of which I now have zero recall.

It’s a fairly sunny start but the strands of high cloud seem to be starting to clump together; we had some brief spells of rain last night, but none are expected today (though that’s what they said yesterday). It’s 16°C with an expected high of 24°, and the barometers are much the same at 1011/1019mB

A few ominous clouds at 05:30, but nothing came of them. Now CBS.

Blue sky with lumpy fluff. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 26 expected. Barometer at 1023 mBar.

On the way to gig3 offices (will need to do some renumbering at some point). For a riveting day of PS BS.

In A Game of Birds and Wolves, the war game is up and running in Tate & Lyle’s former offices on the top floor of Derby House, and is a huge success! Within the first few days they’d uncovered the U-boat tactic of casually catching up with a convoy on the surface at night, getting in amongst it, firing off a few torpedoes, then submerging and letting it move on ahead while the RN escorts all rushed around in different directions on the outside, assuming the attack must have come from out there somewhere

Goodnight all
