Tonight’s reading was more of The Forgotten Soldier, in which he’s had a thoroughly miserable time on a supply convoy to Minsk and then another to Kharkiv in the middle of winter. But now they’ve been told they’re carrying on to the Russian Front, so I daresay that’ll seem like the days of wine and roses soon enough

Thursday tomorrow!

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea: beef & Guinnes stew

Accompanied by the first part of the latest Traffic Cops which appears to be an HGVs-crashing-into-things special. As it’s Notts police, they could have done a crossover episode with Trucking Hell - I’m sure Crouch Recovery would be up for that

What a nighmare of a day. Doing last few bits of toothpaste inspection, walked about 15 mins and found I didn't have my phone to take photos. Went back to see if it was in the car and it wasn't, so did the walk again to see if I'd dropped it. No luck, so went back home to see if I'd left it there. It wasn't, so went back again with my spare phone to ring and locate it. Fortunately found it by the roadside near where I'd parked. Phew! Make sure i have it on a piece of string next time.

Another working day done, leaving *checks calendar* just nine more this year!

It was quite a productive afternoon too, despite a few meetings getting in the way

Afternoon folks.

It's been clear and chilly all day here. Now getting rather gloomy out there.

Thankfully CB1 is out visiting a friend for a few hours which means his two sisters (and by extension, me and Mrs CB) will enjoy a relative amount of peace.

Oh! Way before my time

I'll add a and a for my general cluelessness

Actually, it's an Embraer on this leg.

The aircraft from Warsaw to London is a B737 Max 8

However, the door didn't fall off on the way out so hopefully it'll also stay put on the way back.

Greetings from a very soggy Warsaw. Local time 1427.

Currently 2 degrees ('feels like' -1) and that's the high for the day. Barometer at 1006 mBar.

Sunrise 07:15; Sunset 15:31 CET

Currently having some warming lunch having had a mooch around the Christmas market by the old town castle.

Lunch: leftover pork cutlet with apple sauce in a wholemeal bap

I’d forgotten I was supposed to be demoing our progress in the Show & Tell this morning. Luckily we were on last, so I had time to get the latest version deployed to hotfix and work out a bunch of stuff to say that made us sound wonderful. It was the first time the assembled horde had seen it being used with real data (well, a recent copy thereof) and it knocked their socks off

Just getting ourselves together to walk over the road to the airport for our flight to Warsaw. We have about 5 or 6 hours to explore there before coming home.

Morning.

Wednesday.

Dry.

Sunless.

Grey.

Cold in here at 12.8 deg, 10.5 in the kitchen, 7 in the leanto, 2 in the saltinghouse.

1018 mBar, 30.06 in Hg (Kirk out), 763.6 Torr, 14.765 psi, (unchanged), 54% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 3rd of March 2020 quackhandle, AndyGarbs, eek, LondonManc and LM popped in, NF thought it might have rained a little, I took the bus back home after staggering down to the library, and there was no discussion of watches but someone paid £6 for coffee.


Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the grey gloom. Lazy wind on the way up to make it even colder.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: thing about ballot boxes shifted from 13:45 due to the ongoing tedium in the talking shop.

Drizzly like a good un now. .

Tea: Tesco battered haddock. Entertainment: PM. <click>

Forgot about The Crash Detectives but saw the last 17 minutes.

Scotland Yard: the one about the chap offing his wife & then offing the window cleaner.

Nazi programme ended with Gotterdammerung yesterday. Replaced with WWII from above.

Yesterday: Abandoned engineering S15 E1: tedious beyond belief: no engineering of any note: MLK church, Estonia tv station & bunker, Japan: poison gas island covered in rabbits: Unit 731, balloon bomb construction: so effective that it killed 6 people. And best of all a fecking horse race course with Whitey Bulger.

David Jason invention thing. The Tank. The submarine. The hovercraft. It wasn't full of eels. William Armstrong: The hydraulic crane.

u&w: Elementary S1 E4. "the rat race".

The Empire thing. 3/3. More about the Evil British and their Empire..

So you flew to Warsaw so you could fly to Berlin so you could get up at an ungodly hour to fly to Dubai then immediately turn round and fly back to Berlin again? It’s one way of getting to Stromness for the weekend, I suppose

Yep! I did mean to from Dubai but our late arrival meant we only had half an hour before getting back on board
