Another dull start to the day. Dry but much cloud. Currently 19 degrees with a high of 25 expected. Rain forecast around lunchtime.
This morning I woke to an email from Thames Water where they claimed I had asked to pay my bill in full rather than monthly installments. This is not something I had requested at all.
Much dreaming of L di/dt and such like which made a change from the opto sensors and logic design of the other day.
Dry.
Wanly sunny.
Cool in here at 20.6 deg, 21.5 in the kitchen, 20 in the leanto.
1012.5 mBar, 29.899 in Hg, 759.44 Torr, 14.685 psi, (up from 1008 last night), 73% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 24th of October 2019 there was much discussion of BTVS and "Das Boot" which continued on to the 25th with more discussion of the variety of presentations of this epic of German submariners in WWII.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the greyish gloom. Picks of rain at one point. Two butterflies.
Lunch: baked spud etc. Hints of blue on the toast.
Entertainment: Y&Y <click> TWATO <click> Book.
Stewed apple reheated to remove the taste of freezer.
The Mentalist S2 E3, E4.
Tea: soup etc. The last two slices of the loaf didn't taste blue.
Entertainment: Scotland Yard: Crime of Honour (1958). The wine importer one.
The Capone Investment: well Grommit would be shocked by that.
I ordered some things on Friday and at checkout I was offered EXPRESS DELIVERY for £45 or Standard Delivery for £40. The earliest date for EXPRESS was today. The earliest date for Standard was ... today. I suspect the extra £5 was for the bold font.
Anyway, standard delivery and today was what I chose.
On Saturday I had a text message saying delivery would be today between 7am and 11pm.
On Sunday I got a text message saying delivery would be today between 7am and 7pm.
Yesterday I got a text message saying delivery would be today between 7am and 1pm, and that I would receive a more accurate time today.
6.45am: Your delivery will be between 7am and 11am. (this curtailed the walk, I clicked on the link in the test which just said the same time)
7:05am: Your delivery will be with you shortly (clicked on the link, showed the driver about half an hour away, if he was coming straight here)
7:10am: Your driver has 2 more stops before you
7:15am: Driver phones to say they will be here before 8am
Patchy cloudy out, but still quite sunny. Apparently it'll get clearer during the day then cloud over some more towards evening, a reversal of last week's procedure. It's already 15°C and heading for 23°, with the barometers up a little at 1004/1011mB
You actually managed to create a new thread that's readable??
Yes! Though it did help that I was able to log in to the Admin Control Panel and clear the system cache first, as I know that's been the cause of problems in the past
Ages ago, I was trying to get the new administrators to switch the forum to use an alternative cacheing mechanism (memcached), as the database is under enough strain as it is. But they never got around to it
