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

Morning all
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.

Sunrise 04:48; Sunset 21:22 BST

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

[NickFitz]

Tea has been a spicy lamb burger out of the freezer with chips and beans, largely because the beans needed to be used up

There’s also the fact that I didn’t go shopping last week, so I’m using up stuff that’s been lurking in the freezer for too long such as the burger

Accompanying this, the start of Mob War: Philadelphia vs. The Mafia, a Netflix documentary about cleaning up organised crime in the early 1990s… or at least trying to

[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.

[NickFitz]

It's also my last day at gig2

Woohoo!

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a bit of initially cold chicken that I heated up in the air fryer, just for a change

[ladymuck]

Raining. This was not forecast. I want my money back.

[ladymuck]

Morning all

It's turned overcast after a bright start. Looks like there's signs of some precipitation having occurred. Currently 19 degrees ('feels like' 25) with a high of 24 expected. Cloud cover expected to reduce by mid-morning. Barometer down to 1024 mBar.

Sunrise 04:48; Sunset 21:22 BST

Tired this morning.

It's also my last day at gig2

Up and out at 5:30 for a pleasant walk. it appears there may have been some light rain overnight, but no obvious signs in the garden.
Speaking of the garden, Harry the Hedgehog has returned - although he's hanging around near the front of the garden, so maybe it's not Harry.

Up early here too, because I raised the blind in the bedroom too high and the morning light came in and refused to leave. It first woke me some time after five and I managed to get back to sleep a few times, but was woken again each time due to the light carrying on being there. So in the end I got up

It’s a grey start and there’s a chance of a shower or two any time now. It’s 15°C though, so relatively mild with an expected high of 23°. The barometers are back down a bit at 1011/1018mB

Meanwhile onthe 31st of March 2020 eek, LM, MrMarkyMark*, NF, and vetran popped in.

*Last appearance May 2020. .

Dozed whilst listening to ITV4+1 bucolic music, folllowed by DSOTM (Pulse). Must have dozed particulary deeply because I have no recollection of "Time" at all.

Then it was "time" for "Further Out of Town" with Jack Hargreaves on Rewind TV which made a change from the soft porn that seems to make up its post watershed offerings. .

Ah, dear dead days beyond recall when British porn was so soft it couldn't raise any innerest whatsoever.

Book.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Classic Movies: The IPCRESS file. Still whistling the theme. Saw that in the cinema in 1966 IIRC. Shows how long ago it was made: steam engines pulling the trains. The other lot down south did rather better.

Book.

Outback Wreckers. Stone me these guys work hard. Spent $10k on diesel to get somewhere in the outback up north, load up the wagon with scrap & then break something in the truck suspension.

Book.

Tea: soup. Entertainment: PM <click> UFO bollox on Blaze <click>

Roy Noble on his trike again: Ebbw Vale (where one of the largest steelworks in Europe once stood), Cwm, Nantyglo, Brynmawr (one of the coldest places in the known universe in the winter, trust me on that).

Bab5 S1 E16 The one where Lenier rebuilds a Kawasaki motorcycle.

Coldwar thing on BBC Alba.
