Went for a walk, as I'm fed up with being so unfit and need to get back in at least half-decent shape. Not far, just around the block, but I'm trying to get back to the old habit (broken when I caught Covid) of getting a walk in before or after work
It's easier to get the green ring closed now as you can change the time required; I'm starting with a nice, easy ten minutes, and will gradually bump it up until I'm back to thirty
Dull but not wet. Currently 17 degrees and that's the high for the day. No rain forecast. Barometer was up to 1014 mBar but has since dropped back to 1011 mBar.
This morning I was on site at ClientCo and I came home at lunchtime as I'm meeting friends in town this evening and I didn't want to get stuck in traffic later
Scrambled maps has had an update you can now select the number of tiles the map is cut up into. Looks a lot harder now.
EDIT: and it now tells you how many moves it took to complete the map.
Bit of a quiet day today as ClientGov is having its annual live-in-person meet-up down in London, and most people are there. I was asked whether I was coming and politely declined. They asked why (not pressuring me, just so they have an idea of why people might choose not to go) and I pointed out that out of four visits to London on their behalf in the last three years, two have resulted in me spending a couple of weeks laid out by some foul disease, suggesting a 50:50 chance of it happening again. They agreed that this was an excellent reason not to bother going
Chilly in here at 14.9 deg, 15 deg in the kitchen, 13 deg in the leanto.
1008.5 mBar, 29.78 in Hg, 746.44 Torr, 14.627 psi, (down from 1011 last night), 66% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 21st of November 2019 WTFH had hot water restored by the needful doings of the plumber, Brillo poked his head above the parapet, and I spent yet more time "killing" brambles and taking stuff down the dump, having reached S6 of BTVS and viewed the advent of Skip in "Angel".
Grr. Too much on this week. Old fart art this morning and karaoke in evening. Tomorrow old fart group walk morning and history society talk in evening. Cabaret Thursday and loony lady 1 Friday.
The Halifax finally got around to refunding the extra payment they took at the start of the month, so I think that means the matter of the mortgage is completely done and dusted
Dull, damp from much overnight / early morning rain. Currently 11 degrees with a high of 13 expected. Chance of more rain over lunchtime. Barometer at 1011 mBar.
