Just switched the forum software's system cache to use memcache instead of the database. Let me know if anything even more obviously stupid than usual happens
Lunch: pâté on white bloomer toast, again because there's enough for two lunches in the pack and it expired today
Managed to do some actual coding this morning. But now - well, at 13:00 - we've got the fortnightly "retrospective", to which I shall most likely have nothing much to contribute
I just hauled Henry out of his cupboard and gave the hall a quick go over as there's a fire safety flat door inspection tomorrow, so I need to avoid the shame of letting a stranger see any stray bits of fluff on the floor
This inspection was supposed to happen about six months ago, but nobody knocked that time, so I assume it got rescheduled. Anyway, they just want to be sure I've still got the fire door that was installed about six years ago and haven't compromised its integrity by knocking holes in the inside or whatever, so far as I understand
Dull and damp start to the day but it seems to be brightening up a bit. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 16 expected. No further rain forecast. Barometer up a smidge to 1023 mBar.
ConsultancyCo has hired a permanent person, due to start in January, which I think will definitely mark the death knell of my engagement with them. Clock's a ticking to get another role lined up.
Chilly in here at 16.8 deg, 17 deg in the kitchen, 14.5 deg in the leanto.
1019.5 mBar, 30.1 in Hg, 764.68 Torr, 14.786 psi, (up from 1017 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 25th of November 2019 there was much discussion of foods for tea, whereas Brillo was comforting some young lady on a bridge somewhere.
Grey start again, but relatively mild again: 11°C now, leading on to 15° later. The barometers seem fairly positive too, being up slightly to 1011/1019mB
Accompanied by a new episode of the Gloucestershire plod, who appear to spend about 80% of their night shifts dealing with drunken idiots outside W H Smiths on the High Street in Cheltenham
