Giving up with the little writing group, just me and other bloke there again.

Bing are retiring the Bing maps API at end of June, was going to do the migration to Azure Maps but it won't have OS maps so no point for us walky people. Still, can do fair amount of stuff with Garmin Basecamp. Another annoying technical thing is a Google update for my Pixel 4a which, according to some comments, renders it practically useless. Darn good thing I had mine in developer mode with updates turned off.

Lunch: a Pukka steak slice

The fog has cleared and it's sunny out now

Turning a bit foggy here

I heard the lift going earlier, so an engineer must have been! No idea if they've managed to fix it, mind. Nobody seems to have used it since, but a lot of people use the stairs anyway most of the time, so it isn't unusual to only hear it a couple of times a day.

Sunrise 08:10; Sunset 18:26

We had a lovely day yesterday; mooched about the town, bought swimming costumes. Then headed back there in the evening for a fantastic dinner.

Have had a couple of interesting approaches on Linkedin which I will be properly following up next week.

Fog/low cloud was a lot thicker this morning, to the point that the ground was wet, and the best way to use my head torch was carrying it at waist level.
Walk has been walked. The sun is burning off the fog.

Meanwhile on the 20th of December 2019 LM, NF, xogg, & DaveB were contemplating sending Xmas cards, I wasn't so no surprise there, NF was railing against the Xmas shoppers in Sainsburys, whereas I was doing the washing & shopping in Morrisons, all of us Unaware Of What Was Coming. .

Bedding wash ongoing in the WM.

Bedding wash out of the WM and pegged out on the line, after which I couldn't feel my hands.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine. Quite chilly out there in the shade.

If there's anything else on this evening I ain't found it though the fright haired Swiss chap is on at 21:00 waffling on endlessly about Roswell. Apparently there's a rock.

Morning denizens

Clear sky, peach coloured to the east and with a just-past-full moon still quite high in the west, so probably a sunny day once the sun gets up. Chilly but not frosty at 1°C, only reaching 6° later. The barometers are steady at 1021/1029mB

I watched a new episode of Traffic Cops earlier. This series seems inordinately long; I wonder if they had loads on hold because of delays in the courts, so now they're just going to keep pumping them out until the backlog is cleared

I've also found time for some more playing around with bits of GameplayKit, in particular the Entity-Component stuff. I've reached the point with that where it's suddenly gelled, and as a result I'm finding loads of stuff that seemed as if it would be pretty complicated has become much simpler

And I've read a bit more of Apollo 13 in which they've stirred the tanks as requested, but it doesn't seem to have worked out as planned

Friday-equivalent Thursday tomorrow!

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Are you all retired or something?

Not all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been sausages with chips and beans

The cloud cleared a bit later in the day, but that means it'll get a bit colder tonight. Only down to 1° though, so not too bad

[NickFitz]

Lunch: pork bap (wholemeal) with apple sauce, and a bag of plain crisps

[Snooky]

Gusts at the outdoor section of the breakfast area resulted in a cascade of glasses and cups all being blown off a table. We weren't affected but another couple were quite lucky not to be covered in glass and coffee.

Yesterday we had a lazy day, sitting out in the sunshine, relaxing. We were going to take a stroll into town but will see if it brightens up a bit

[WTFH]

Morning all
Foggy out - could hardly see more than 10 metres when out earlier, which made for an interesting walk, particularly after my head torch died, and then the clip on MMtSH's light broke. I knew it was about to go so had ordered a screw carabiner to replace it, which arrived a few minutes ago.
Made it home, my torch is now on charge and his is now mended.
Fog is lifting slightly and I can now see the bottom of our drive.
