WTF! My solid Labour constituency has fallen to an independent! I had a leaflet through the door from him in the first week, and even had a look at his website, but dismissed him out of hand - and he's got a majority of nearly a thousand!
Tea has been a Sainsbury's microwave chicken chow mein, and I can assure the Chinese takeaways of this world that they have nothing to fear from that particular form of competition
Meanwhile at ClientGov, a call has gone out on Teams asking people to come into the main office tomorrow if they can. Turns out there's a possibility a new minister could be appointed by mid-afternoon, and there's a tradition of the staff lining the corridors to "clap them in". Of course, almost nobody works in the office all week any more, and not many people at all go in on a Friday. So I gather they're worried that the new Secretary of State will turn up to be greeted by a few security guards, a cleaner, and the cat
Out has been popped to, specifically, Lesser Sainsbury's as I didn't really need much. However, I had good Nectar prices available to me on a number of non-perishable or long-lived items that I buy fairly regularly, so I was able to stock up on those and save a few quid
Nice sunny evening out, though with quite a lot of cumulus floating around. The wind is still there but has settled down quite a bit compared to earlier
Suppose I'd better make the bed, then sort my tea out - though the latter will be easy as I decided I couldn't be bothered cooking and got a ready meal
A developer has created a flat file for me that then goes to another system. It's a .txt file. A flat file, no commas, no delimiters, all data is aligned to be in a particular location on each line.
The other system is managed by one of Murthy's finest.
He has complained that one of the "fields" is formatted as a number.
New one on me that a flat text file contains formatting for characters in particular locations.
The mattress is airing, as I feel that my efforts to eject the government this morning should be rewarded by clean sheets at such time as I finally get around to going to bed tonight
Looks bright and dry out. Currently 13 degrees with a high of 19 expected. No rain forecast.
Arrived without incident, landing just after 6am following the need to circle over Epsom waiting for the airport to open. Transfer nonsense done and have been relaxing in the Concorde Room waiting for the flight up to Glasgow. The aircraft is coming in from Bologna and isn't due in until 0915.
The cabin crew only get one night in Barbados but the flight crew get two nights. Our pilots had four nights because of Beryl but the cabin crew arrived the day the airport reopened.
