Morning denizens

It’s a clear blue sky out there but like a bed without a duvet, it’s let all the heat out! Currently 0°C but “feels like” -3°, which suggests the wind has dropped; the predicted high of 5° this afternoon isn’t expected to last long. The barometers are heading back up though, at 1002/1010mB

Tuesday. Never much to say about Tuesday, is there? At least our backlog refinement meeting today has been cancelled, or rather merged with the sprint planning one tomorrow. There’s never enough between them to justify two meetings anyway, so it’s nice that wiser counsels have prevailed

[NickFitz]

Tonight, I continued with Peace and War: having finished The Forever War, I’m now on to Forever Free

Goodnight all

Tea has been lamb chops with chips and beans

This was accompanied by 999: What Happened Next on 4. Weirdly, this covered a hit and run case that was also covered in depth on some other programme I watched recently - I think it was Traffic Cops as it included a couple of the regular coppers off that

It's turned out to be a sunshine and showers type day. Chilly.

Got some more access sorted out at gig3, and my building pass has been issued.

Planned walky today ruined due to yet another road closure. Gonna be a long route round to get to my arty farty thing tomorrow. Roads are just awful here, potholes, great deep ruts along the edges in narrow places, huge ponds.

Another day done, in which once again unforeseen complications arose from something that seemed straightforward on the face of it. Ah well, as Maciej Cegłowski said, “We choose to do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they were going to be easy.”

And I just popped round to the chemist’s for the usual monthly stuff. I hope tomorrow me is suitably grateful because I really couldn’t be bothered, but then I decided I should do it for them

Lunch has been some leftover bits of Indian starters from Saturday night. The starters were OK - better than the rather bland mains

Morning all

Started off promising but then the cloud came back. Rain expected. Currently 7 degrees ('feels like' 4) with a high of 8 to come. Barometer down to 997 mBar.

Sunrise 07:13; Sunset 17:18 GMT

No drama so far today. I was supposed to go to gig3 clientCo office today but when the alarm went off at 6 am, I decided to make my excuses. I'll turn up on Wednesday instead.

Happy Unbirthday LM.

Morning.

Monday.

Damp.

Grey.

Hints of blue sky.

Wanly sunny.

Chilly in here at 12.8 deg, 11 in the kitchen, 9 in the leanto.

995.5 mBar, 29.4 in Hg, 746.7 Torr, 14.44 psi, (up from 994 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 16th of March 2020, Brillo, BR14, scruff, LM, NF, WTFH and I popped in, whilst I watched a programme comparing the Orange Mother****er to Henry VIII and managed not to shoot the tv everytime the Orange Mother****er appeared.

Trip to that Swansea to pay the Barclaycard and donate the foot or so of books: brought another David Kynaston history epic back: 1962 - 1965. There'll be beat combos in this one. .

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about student loans: odd that it should be at RPI+3% instead of CPI+3%.

Timed that well: it was sunny in that Swansea, grey when I returned to Neath & now it's rainiing. Sadly there's no Foyle's War to keep entertained this afternoon. .

Sunny again now with a semigale howling around the chimney.

I'm almost tempted to go for a walk. .

And with that very thought the deluge returns: nice rainbow though. .

Book. Other book.

Tea: Mr Brains faggots with peas & suchlike. Nice enough though not as nice as the last time I made it. Entertainment: PM. Jenrick <click> Just say no to Farage's ilk.

Morning all
CBS but windy earlier. Too windy to hear much of the dawn chorus, but it was bright enough that I could turn off my head torch at 7am.

Morning denizens

Cloudy out but with some gaps of sorts towards the horizon, letting elements of sunrise through; there’s even some clear areas low down towards the south and west. The worst of the cold spell isn’t here yet but the breeze isn’t helping, making 3°C “feel like” -5°; the expected high is 7° this afternoon, though only briefly and accompanied by a chance (40%) of rain. The barometers are down some more at 982/990mB

[NickFitz]

I spent much of the day going over new forum stuff

But there was some wildlife stuff on later, and then I watched the final episode of Planet Earth III

Tonight, I read some more of Peace and War; nearly at the end of The Forever War now, from what I recollect of my first reading of it

And in the midst of all this, I also got a towel wash done

Monday again tomorrow. Today, I made a copy of the leave-accrual spreadsheet and updated it for this year. Might take a week soon

Goodnight all

[xoggoth]

Oh yeh, misread it. Happy whatever it is anyway young lady.

[ladymuck]

Yeh, happy B day LM. Much better to be 60 than not far off from 80.

Not there yet! 60 would mark the end of my 6th decide, not the start 🤣
