Morning.

Thursday.

Currently dry.

Grey.

Windy, very.

Sunless.

Chilly in here at 13.7 deg, ? in the kitchen, 12 in the leanto.

1005 mBar, 29.6776 in Hg, 753.8 Torr, 14.576 psi, (down from 1011 last night), 69% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 20th of March 2020 I visited various graves in the cemeteries, whilst AndyGarbs, covbob, LM, NF, and WTFH popped in, and someone was attempting to scam xogg with some bogus email about Amazon.

Morning all
Windy out, but dry for our walk, although looking at the dark clouds, it's raining nearby.
Excitement from yesterday evening was that the grass had dried enough (and it was light enough) to get the mower out for the first cut in a while. in places the grass was quite long. The excitement continued in that I had about 3 litres of fuel in the jerry can, which half-filled the tank on the mower and should give me enough for at least one more cut.

It’s a cloudy sort of start again and going to be pretty windy all day, with rain expected this evening. It’s 8°C but “feels like” -2°, with an expected high of 12° that presumably won’t feel much better. The barometers are down some more at 997/1005mB

But: it’s Thursday!

[NickFitz]

I managed some productive meddling around with SwiftUI during the evening

And I read some more of The Three-Body Problem

Thursday tomorrow!

It’s our Tech Debt day. There’s some stuff the PM wants us to focus on, which the other dev has had more to do with than me; I don’t know whether she’ll want me to help, or if she’ll be happy to get on with it on her own. She doesn’t seem to think it’ll be too burdensome though, so once we’ve done that there may be time for me to finally dispose of the thing that’s dragged on since before Christmas - though I’ve just remembered that it may be better not to use that just yet, as it does some serious meddling with the structure of the database, and due to a platform bug that they thought they’d fixed earlier in the week and hadn’t, we might not be able to restore it if things go horribly wrong

But it also means there’s a good chance I’ll be able to nip along to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s at lunchtime and get the shopping (of which there’s very little needed) out of the way

Goodnight all

It was a tiring but productive day at the coal face.

Got home about 6.30pm. Nearly 12 hours out of the house

[NickFitz]

Pork cutlet with chips and beans for tea

And a bit of the motorway cops thing to go with it

[xoggoth]

ll3 was pain in the **** as usual. Took her to garden centre supposedly to buy a few packets of seeds and ended having to heft a huge sack of compost.

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a cold chicken leg

It was supposed to get quite gloomy here but if it did, I missed it. It’s tending towards the Simpsonesque out there now. Still very breezy though

The daffodils in the central flowerbed have bloomed

[xoggoth]

Wander up to local history group coffee morning shortly. Taking ghastly old ll3 to the nursery for some planty things later.

Morning.

Wednesday.

Sunny.

Blue sky in parts.

Damply dry with puddle in saltinghouse.

Chilly in here at 13.8 deg, 1 something in the kitchen, 12 in the leanto, 9 in the saltinghouse.

1005.5 mBar, 29.692 in Hg, 754.2 Torr, 14.584 psi, (up from 1000 last night), 69% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 20th of March 2020 Brillo popped in a lot, LM was starting with a new client, NF and I popped in, whilst WTFH took a nice photo of the kestrel that was upsetting the guinea fowl.

Washing frenzy in progress.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the Eyrack war thing at 11:45.

Stuff in off the line, duly iRoned & airing upstairs.

Remaining stuff in off the line & airing upstairs: completed.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine. Nearly collided with a MAMIL who approached from behind without the courtesy of a bell or speech: what speech there was was me telling to feck off you moronic twat. Always happens when you're out without a gun. . Followed by another moron who did the same thing without the lycra. He'd have got 9x19 too if I'd had one handy.

Tea: Tesco battered haddock (or cod). Nice enough. The spud had spraint spraing which was rather irritating. Spraint, of course, is otter droppings. .

Entertainment: PM.

Scotland Yard. "The Tyburn case": the one about the woman found drowned in the Tyburn River sewer.

Alice Roberts Hospital through time thing? Poor sod with metastasized testicular cancer.

Bad Skin Clinic. Dr Pimplepopper instead. S1 E1.

Elementary S1 E17. Not on. Showing some crap about psychopaths instead. WTF?

Gito Hari waffling on about Welsh on S4C Yng Nghymraeg so subtitles were employed.

UFO bollox on Blaze: <click>

Looks like Wednesday evenings are now as devoid of any innerest on the idiot lantern as most of the other evenings. Ho hum. Might buy the Elementary box set the next time I'm in that Swansea.

Then again, I've never progressed further than S1E1 of Better Call Saul. .

I wasn't tempted to mow the lawn this week on a Wednesday having done it yesterday on a Tuesday.

[WTFH]

Morning all
After heavy rains and high wind overnight, apart from the wet ground it was blue skies and sunny on our walk earlier.

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

Sunny start with some cloud, but it’s starting to cloud over. There was some rain and quite a high wind last night and it’s still a bit breezy, so the current 7°C “feels like” 1°; the expected high is 11°. The barometers are down to 994/1002mB

I awoke with a slight soreness in the throat today, which reminded me that it was similar yesterday but soon passed off so I forgot about it. It seems to be lingering a little longer today, so perhaps I have some kind of lurgy. At least it seems pretty mild so far, if that’s what it is

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Blue sky with occasional fluff. Damp. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 12 expected. Barometer down to 1006 mBar.

Sunrise 06:25; Sunset 17:59 GMT

It being Wednesday, I am on my way to clientCo offices.

[NickFitz]

I managed a bit more SwiftUI tinkering earlier

And in The Three-Body Problem, the plot thickens

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been leftover East African BBQ bits from Saturday night
