Morning all
Wet and wild last night. Very stormy. Chairs blew over on our main deck. a plastic plant pot blew off the top of a wooden water butt and smashed.
But by the time we went out for a walk earlier, it was 14C with gentle rain and barely a breeze.

After a night when it has, I think, rained constantly, it’s a rainy start to the day with no signs of letting up soon. The forecast suggests it’s likely to continue raining until late afternoon! it’s a touch milder, though the current 13°C “feels like” 9°, and the high will only be 14°. The barometers are down very slightly at 990/997mB

I finished part one of the Savile documentary. All this part really does is give a history of his career without going into anything much about what came out later, and already the only conclusion you can draw is that he has to be a wrong 'un. Looking forward to part two where the full scale of the horror is revealed

And then I finished Terraplane; another good one! Next up is Elvissey (fourth written, fifth in timeline)

Tomorrow will be a day of many meetings, for it is the end of the sprint and start of a new one. And I’ve just remembered I’m on the hook to present something at “Show & Tell” at 9:30. There isn’t really much to show, or indeed tell, but I daresay I’ll think of something

Goodnight all

Couldn't finish me toothpaste inspection today as the battery on me phone ran out. Damn Google with their stupid update that reduced battery life.

Date with ll3 tomorrow.

[NickFitz]

Tea has been a nice fry-up

To go with this, I started watching Netflix’s documentary Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story. Never did like that guy

Afternoon all

I have no idea what the outside world looked like today. My app says cloudy and possibly wet. Currently 14 degrees ('feels like' 12) and that was the high for the day. Rain expected. Barometer down a bit to 1004 mBar.

Sunrise 07:13; Sunset 16:17 GMT

Very busy day at the coalface today. Non-stop across two and a half clients (the half being the ISPE NED election gubbins I do every year and only took up an hour of my day today).

HWMBO has made me a G&T, as is his duty.

Clocking off very soon as I cannae do nae more!

[NickFitz]

Another day done, only eighteen to go!

Quite busy today, though more to do with discussing how to do stuff rather than doing it. Anyway, the other dev has now taken it upon themselves to build a React app

This meant I forgot, and didn’t really have time, to put on the cider-braised belly pork I had planned for dinner. So I’ll have that tomorrow instead

Another Amazon parcel has been delivered yet is nowhere to be found. I shall wait and see if it mysteriously turns up outside my flat at around 9pm, as happened the last couple of times one went astray

[NickFitz]

Lunch: a bit of pork pie

Morning.

Tuesday.

Damply dry.

Windy.

Grey.

Sunless.

Chilly in here at 16.9 deg, 16 in the kitcehn, 13.5 in the leanto.

997 mBar, 29.44 in Hg, 747.8 Torr, 14.46 psi, (down from 1000 last night), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 29th of February 2020 LM was wearing bedsocks and was disturbed by a whining noise from elsewhere, BR14 popped in, WTFH remarked that rather than the blue sky expected whilst fetching the logs it was sleeting, NF had a late lunch, and I went down to town on the bus due to The Bad Leg which was going inneresting colours.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked. Drizzle for the last mile or so.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Y&Y cancer treatment <click>.

Well this is getting old very very quickly. .

For the sake of something to do: washed the leanto floor, then ran the vac over the house without moving much whilst doing so.

The water from the floor washing was an inneresting shade of light black.

I think I'll put the stuff in the leanto back from whence it came before I make tea.

'Tis an odd thing but around this time of year I seem to grind to a halt. All through the summer I was working my bollox off doing various things. Now the clocks have changed: nothing.

Just spent 20 minutes using the slag chipping hammer to chip ice off the top of the chest freezer. I suspect it's time I defrosted it, but at least the lid closes properly now. .

Tea: soup etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM <click>. Jenrick came on.

In other news it's hammering down again.

The Nazi programme. The Luftwaffe. Damn, we were really lucky to have Adolph.

The Mind of Mr J. G. Reeder. I think this one's in B&W after last week's technicolor extravaganza. Colin Baker is in this one.

WWII from above: the invasion of Poland in 1939. <click> Enough Nazis for one day.

Morning all
Looked very gloomy out earlier, but it remained dry. Quite windy though, and it's supposed to be getting windier as the day goes on.

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

Rather a grey start, though the cloud looks fairly thin and there seem to be gaps appearing towards parts of the horizon. It’s a bit damp after overnight rain, but not even drizzling at the moment, though it may start again for a short spell soon (65%). The temperature of 10°C “feels like” 4°, and peak hotness will be 14°. The barometers are unchanged at 992/1000mB

[NickFitz]

I did a bit more mucking around with shaders earlier

And then I read some more of Terraplane, in which extremely bad things are happening to good people - a normal and frequent occurrence in these books

Goodnight all

I was in ours at about 4pm and they were offering the guy having his flu jab a free one because it was end of day and they'd be throwing it away (he declined). So next year go in late in the day and you might be in luck

I had an appointment! I had one last Friday at 1pm and when I went, they apologised because they’d run out and rescheduled it for 11am today, and when I went for that, they told me they wouldn’t give me one!

[mudskipper]

The chemist knocked me back for a Covid jab; apparently I don’t meet the criteria any more, so the nurse who gave me my flu jab had got it wrong

I told them I’d pay for one, but they don’t do private ones! Don’t want to have to go to Boots, but they may be the only option

It did occur to me that they might have told me at the original appointment on Friday and saved me a walk in the drizzle today

Lunch has been a steak slice - Ginster's, as they were out of Pukka ones when I did the shopping

It wasn’t as nice as a proper one; I won’t bother with them again

Everyone is so quick (they def introduce a delay for the telly!). Too old and slow.

Got the HTML though - giving myself the credit for that one!
