It's cold in my little office. I've had to put the fan heater on, in addition to having a blanket over my legs.

Slept well, woke up feeling more awake than I have for much of this week. That won't last, of course.

Last day of work for a few days. HWMBO and I are off gallivanting for three days next week. Only 6 flights coming up: a 90 minute visit to Dubai, and an afternoon in Warsaw.

Sunny start today, but cold with it: -1°C (no “feels like” specified) now, and a high of 4° later. It’ll be slightly milder over the weekend, in the sense of not dipping below freezing. The barometers are ebullient, being up to 1014/1023mB

[WTFH]

Morning all

TMS on.

[NickFitz]

I watched some more of the Netflix Yorkshire Ripper documentary earlier

And then I finished Going Going Gone and therefore the entire Dryco saga. Excellent stuff, and I reckon I’ll read them again some time, as sometimes events or people from earlier in the story appear in a different light in relation to later aspects - quite an achievement really, given that they weren’t even written in order!

Friday tomorrow, and I have to be up early as the plumbers will be turning up to see if the mysterious leak is coming from my flat

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea was brought to me from the Turkish place, because I had a voucher for £8 off that was about to expire

[ladymuck]

Quiet day work-wise. Knackering afternoon walking around Terminal 3 looking for self-service wheelchairs. Apparently I walked 4 miles

[NickFitz]

Another week done, and only twelve more working days for me this year!

The afternoon went reasonably well, I thought. There was the minor issue of causing a division-by-zero error in the database, but it was only in the hotfix environment, and that’s what it’s for, really

I’d actually mentioned a few days ago that we’d have to guard against that very thing, but left it on the to-do list as it didn’t happen in local development because of the dummy data we use. The other dev suggested we were at a good point to give the app a try against some real data, so we deployed it and it immediately blew up. Didn’t take me long to fix, though I ended up working an extra half-hour getting the changes deployed. But that was mainly sitting around waiting for builds and stuff to happen, and it was worth spending the time to make sure she’s got something stable to work with when I’m off tomorrow

[NickFitz]

Lunch: cold chicken leg, again

It’s quite cloudy out, but not the kind that tend to rain on one and blue sky is visible through a number of gaps

It was a fairly productive morning, and may also be a fairly productive afternoon; we shall see

[WTFH]

Morning all
Blue skies and sunshine here and a bit of snow on the roads.

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Sunny, just a few wisps here and there. Currently -1 ('feels like' -4) with a high of 4 expected. Barometer up to 1014 mBar.

Sunrise 07:28; Sunset 16:06 GMT

There was a tiny bit of ice on the car when I left for the office. Got in early for an 8am meeting that was cancelled.

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning.

Thursday apparently.

Dry.

Sunny.

Frosty.

Chilly in here at 13.3 deg, 11 deg in the kitchen, 5 deg in the leanto, 2.6 deg in the saltinghouse.

1013.5 mBar, 29.93 in Hg, 760.2 Torr, 14.6995 psi, (up from 1012 last night), 50% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 1st of March I was watchiing "Homeland" whilst NF was watching "The Killing" S1, whereas on the 2nd AndyGarbs, Churchill, and Brillo popped in along with LM and everyone was cold.

Walk (towpath, unabbreviated) walked. Less cold today without yesterday's wind. Still took 3 miles to feel my fingers again.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Y&Y scam watch <click>. Toast: the rise & fall of Blackberry.

We'll all go together when we go:

.

Tea: beans on toast with scrambled egg. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM with the Orange Moron spouting about sedition. Well he should know, being as he started some.

The Nazi programme.

Maybe Julia Bradbury about Scottish railways.

Classic Movies: Escape from New York.

The directors: Discovering John Frankenheimer.

Not the space thing since I've already watched it on BBC2 NI.

Book.

Morning denizens

Quite a lot of thin layers of cloud stretch to the horizon in most directions, but there’s a lot of blue sky directly above and it seems to be clearing from the northwest-ish. Cold night though: it’s now back up to -1°C, though it “feels like” -7°; and the day itself will only make it to 4°. The barometers are back up a little at 1001/1010mB

[NickFitz]

Tonight’s viewing was the start of a Netflix documentary series about the Yorkshire Ripper. At least it was British, and therefore didn’t change the subject every thirty seconds

And later, I read more of Going Going Gone

Tomorrow, somebody will be coming round to inspect the flat door because of Grenfell. Weirdly, the other two blocks aren’t tall enough to require this annual check, though they’re almost as tall as this one; it’s the top floor that does it

Goodnight all
