Lunch: pork chop with apple sauce, in a white bloomer sandwich because Sainsbury's didn't have any wholemeal baps, plus a bag of plain crisps
Bit of rain just before, and looks like there might be more. Quite breezy as well

Morning all
Blue sky with lumps of fluff. Gentle breeze. Rain forecast from mid afternoon to early evening. Currently 16 degrees with a high of 17 expected. Barometer down to 1004 mBar.
Yea olde jalopy is off for its MOT this morning. I really hope it passes, am very worried it won't.
This afternoon I pick up the keys to the new gaff and get to follow the check in agent around saying, "you missed that".

Morning.
Friday apparently, though when I woke I couldn't figure out what day it was.
Damp.
Grey.
Blue sky in parts.
Wanly sunny.
Chilly in here at 17.1 deg, 17.5 deg in the kitchen, 17 deg in the leanto.
997.5 mBar, 29.456 in Hg, 748.18 Torr, 14.468 psi, (down from 1000 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 70% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 10th of October 2019 I was making rice pudding (excessively sweet) in the microwave followed by watching yet more Jeremiah and Joan of Arcadia, whereas NF was watching yet more Breaking Bad (S4) and wondering if anyone next door but one would deign to put the wandering umbrella of the front garden in the bin.
It's pissing down.
<interstitial pause>
Oh, it's stopped.
Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put way.
Forgot stuff again.
Something is digging holes in the lawns. I wish it would stop.
Lunch: scrambled egg etc.
Entertainment: the thing that isn't Y&Y waffling on about books about plants & nature & suchlike. :. What about all the dead trees that died to make those books? Two faced bastards!

Morning denizens
Grey start out but not raining, though it may this afternoon and evening. It was quite breezy last night but that seems to have settled down a bit. It's a mild start at 13°C though not getting past 16°, while the barometers are decidedly down at 987/995mB
Friday, though!

An old Police Interceptors provided a modicum of entertainment whilst dining
This week has been very frustrating. Constantly chopping and changing from one thing to another, primarily for bureaucratic rather than technical reasons. Context switches are tiring, and several in a day leads to so little being done that it feels very frustrating. Finally managed to cut through some red tape and get something sorted out this afternoon though, so there might be something achieved by the end of the week
Speaking of which: Friday tomorrow!
Goodnight all

Something turned out to be gammon, fried egg, chips, and beans
Still rainy out, and looks like it's settled in for the evening

As there's no new Viz to worry about, I went to the closer but barely adequate Sainsbury's, where I only forgot a couple of things because of the layout
The route home from there doesn't go near the chip shop unless one makes a detour, so I did; but as I was earlier than usual, it was very busy and there was nowhere to park close by. As it had just started raining quite heavily, I took this as a sign and came home instead to have something I've already got

Wondering whether to go shopping in a bit. Viz isn't out until next week, so it's not urgent. But I suppose I could get some other stuff, like bread and meat

Afternoon all
A dull day with a bit of a breeze. The weather app says it's raining but observations with my eyes disagree. Rain is forecast for the rest of the day. Currently 16 degrees and the high was 17. Barometer is down to 1012 mBar.
My run at ConsultantCo has come to an end, with the contract finishing at the end of the month. Sadly I couldn't wheedle my way in to another team at ClientCo.
