Still raining

Meanwhile, I’ve spent a fair few hours today working on the forum stuff

[NickFitz]

Lunch: some cold cocktail sausages and a bag of plain crisps

It’s raining, and raining, and raining

[xoggoth]

Back from volunteer litter picky thing. Bit knackered, darn heavy sack of litter. Nowt else I've got to do today. Yawn.

Morning all,

Wind 7 kt from the East, varying between Northeast and Southeast
Temperature 8°C
Humidity 93%
Pressure 989 hPa
Visibility 10 km or more
Scattered clouds at a height of 400 ft
Broken clouds at a height of 3000 ft

Still cloudy but much more reasonable weather promised for tomorrow, so fingers crossed I can get some steps in over the beacons.

Morning denizens

Drizzly grey day out there, with the young lady who comes round to collect our rubbish (and test the fire alarm on Fridays) trundling the bins from block to block with her hood up. It’s not as warm either: currently 3°C (“feels like” -4°) with a high of just 4° due later. The rain is expected (85% working its way down to 65%) to continue into the evening. But the barometers are up a bit at 979/987mB

But at least it’s Friday, and I got the shopping done yesterday so I don’t have to go anywhere

Morning.

Friday apparently.

Wet. Very wet.

Sunny, wanly.

Grey.

Blue sky in parts.

Chilly in here at 13.3 deg, 12.5 in the kitchen, 11 in the leanto.

994.5 mBar, 29.37 in Hg, 745.9 Torr, 14.424 psi, (down from 995 last night), 69% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 16th of March 2020 BR14, Brillo, and covbob popped in, with Brillo taking the millennium whilst covbob made a coffee, and LM was off to Tesco to do some shopping (probly looking for bog roll).

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: The food programme.

Book. Finished book. Well that one didn't take long. . Which is good.

Sun's out.

Sun's back in. Grey again.

Walk (abbreviated, towpath) walked in the semigale & wanly sunny grey gloom. Rather colder than yesterday and the wind is quite chilly. Should have done the washing, it would have dried well in the semigale.

Tea: chilli con carne with rice etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM <click>.

Vanished Wales.

Taggart S7 E1,2,3 "Violent Delights". Another short one: Jan 1st 1992, so there was no Taggart in 1991.

[WTFH]

Morning all
TFIF, etc.

CBS (can't believe I'm saying that) and not raining (yet) today. Must have been chilly overnight as there were cars parked in the next village with frost on their bonnets/windscreens. Misty in the valleys. Still definitely winter.

I got some more bits done for the Swift app earlier

And for tonight’s reading, I turned to Peace and War by Joe Haldeman. I read his The Forever War last year and quite enjoyed it, and it turned out the best way to get the two others in the trilogy, Forever Peace and Forever Free, was to buy this omnibus volume of all three. So as it’s the first one, I’m reading War again before continuing with the other two

Goodnight all

They're watching you. .

Do they know you're from Liverpool?

Just askin' for a friend, like. .

<- since I was reminded of it back in 2020 this very morn. .

Given that it’s happened at two different stores, I’m tempted to go to the one in the north of the city next week and see if I get the hat trick

[NickFitz]

Tea: pork cutlet with chips and beans

This was initially accompanied by the NEW! series of the motorway cops that never seem to go on a motorway, but 5’s streaming seemed to pack up after a few minutes and it just sat there showing a spinny thing (“throbber” is the technical term). So I started watching a thing about Three Mile Island on Netflix instead

Lunch is only just about to happen, as I decided to do the quick run to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s, only to meet with roadworks there and back. But the main delay came from being “randomly selected” for a full trolley rescan - which also happened last week at Big Sainsbury’s


The rescan only showed one error, and it wasn’t mine - she’d somehow managed to miss the coffee beans

Another week done!

My hopes of quietly ignoring Tech Debt Day were dashed as the other dev wanted to finally deal with a big change we'd started figuring out before Christmas! She’d made a lot of progress on it after I finished for the year, but it’d been on the back burner since then as it was potentially quite risky if we’d missed something. We decided to bite the bullet and go for it, and it all went smoothly in the end

Gig3 have issued log in details. Password reset, MFA set up, now waiting to be spammed with meeting invites.

This meant that by the time I got back, the other dev had already resumed work, so I felt it incumbent on me to join in. We’re now waiting for something to redeploy, so she suggested a tea break, which I’m using to guzzle some leftover lamb bits from the other night

Old fart Mahjongy thing this morning. Unexpected drop in by loony lady 3, her bus had been diverted due to a road closure.
