Tonight’s reading was more of Ra because I’ve got quite into that now
Tomorrow is Tuesday, the most nondescript day of the week. But I’ve already improved it slightly for as I sleep, the slow cooker will be working on chicken soup
Interesting news this afternoon. There are various groupings at ClientGov and I can never work out whether any given one is a “portfolio” or a “profession”, but either way, I used to be in a particular one but the stuff I’m currently working on comes under a different one. (I’m not certain, but I think I may have been part of a third at some point.)
The Department has only been doing six month extensions lately, and mine is due early in August, so the process of getting that done has been kicked off. My contract manager is still the one from the grouping I used to be in, and she informed the current lot that actually, I’m only “on loan” to them and they may well want to take me back soon, as they have some project in the pipeline for which they think I’d be suitable!
This came as a surprise to the current lot, as whoever was managing such things at the time I was “loaned” to them is no longer there, and nobody else (including me) was aware of it
Lumps of fluff scurrying past in the breeze. Currently 20 degrees ('feels like' 24) with a high of 27 expected. Cloud cover set to dissipate by late morning. Barometer down to 1023 mBar.
Meanwhile on the 1st of April 2020 Brillo posted with BR14 and covbob each squeezing in a post.
Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: churches & suchlike: sat here wondering why there are 3 Church in Wales churches in Neath, one Victorian, the other two much older, one is 12th century.
Sky Arts: Classic Movies: "Highlander (1986)": there can be only One. True dat, II was total crap.
Rewind TV: Old Country with Jack Hargreaves. I wonder if he kills anything in this one: yes, 3 trout. All about fly fishing, mayflies, fly fishing lines. It must be said that I was asleep for some of it: must be Trump disease. .
Look at Life: Dustmen in London and Scotland. Well there's a thing.
Tea: chicken in white sauce etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM.
Bab5 S2 E3 "Geometry of Shadows". Things never go well when the Shadows turn up.
It’s a grey and overcast start! Makes a change. It’s also pretty breezy, so the current temperature of 15°C “feels like” 11°; the expected high is a mere 25°. The barometers are steady at 1014/1022mB
Clear blue sky for the most part, with just a band of high wispy stuff a long way to the south. It’s quite breezy too, which is helping to get cooler air circulating through the flat. Currently 23°C out there and it’s only getting up to 28°, so high but not as unbearable as it has been. The barometers are up a bit more at 1015/1022mB
A bit cloudy with a breeze. Weather app says there are no clouds and there will be none today. Currently 23 degrees ('feels like' 25) with a high of 29 expected. Barometer up to 1024 mBar.
Sunrise 04:58; Sunset 21:15 BST
Much cooler night with a good breeze wafting about.
