Tea has been chicken madras with rice and naan

And to go with it, a further episode of the Netflix homicide thing, this time in LA, about the murder of a young mother in 1980 that was picked up and solved as a cold case in 2013

Nothing like a new product to bring to people's attention old errors and workarounds!

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a pancetta omelette

Not exceptionally busy today. One of the finance people spotted that some values seemed to be incorrect in one rather specific spot in a huge table, though it wouldn’t affect anything as any analysis involving what those figures ought to be is done elsewhere. It still ought to be displayed correctly though, if only to avoid any confusion! My investigations into the source of the problem have indicated that it could arise in one of three or four different places, all of which are in code that hasn’t been touched in six years or so. So it’s not my fault and, given nobody has noticed it before, not that important

Dull and cloudy with flecks of grey. Looked damp out earlier but all such evidence has now gone. Currently 23 degrees ('feels like' 25) with a high of 24 expected. Low chance of rain all day. Barometer down to 1011 mBar.

Sunrise 05:51; Sunset 20:18 BST

Quiet day today. No dramas expected. Will be packing later for holiday that starts tomorrow.

Morning.

Tuesday?

Unpleasantly dry.

Grey.

Sunless.

23.5 deg in here, 24.8 in the kitchen, 23 in the leanto, 21 out the back.

1006 mBar, 29.7 in Hg, 754.6 Torr, 14.59 psi, (down from 1009 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 2nd of April 2020, between 19:22 and 19:48, eek, LondonManc,

MrMarkyMark, WTFH and I popped in.

Entertainment: Dimbleby waffling on about Vietnaaaaam and the oik, Walt Rostow, who thought the Septics could bomb it into submission. Turned out they couldn't.

Never mind, they made Guatemala safe for United Fruit. .

Next time: Paul Wolfowitz. Another genius.

Walk (abbreviated, 3 miles) walked in the cool breeze, it warmed up towards the end.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Sky Arts Art in Film. Biopics. Meh.

The thing about placenames Yng Nghymraeg.

Book. More rich bastards. Green being amongst them.

Jack Hargreaves Old Country. ?J C Huskisson & Son Harness Co? of ?Wallsall? making a horse collar for "Blue", his new horse. Two rather fine trout caught & despatched in a drought. Chalk stream rather choked with white buttercup, which he left to retain more water.

Look at Life: (1960) Rallying, the 1959 RAC rally at a guess. Raymond Baxter commenting. Look at Life entered a Humber Snipe. A Saab won the men's rally, whilst a Ford Anglia (oh the shame) won the ladies. Remembering that in those days Rover used to enter the P5 3 litre in some rallies.

Bab5 S3 E7 "Exogenesis".

Blazian bollox: Mega disasters.

History's Most Shocking.

[xoggoth]

Hmm. Supposed to be up to 43% chance of rain this morning. No sign of it yet. Old arty farty thing later.

[WTFH]

Morning all
CBS and
Force of habit.
Misty/mizzly out - not enough to be of any benefit to the garden, but enough that I had to take my glasses off while walking the dog as they were becoming difficult to see out of.

Morning denizens

It’s been fairly rainy overnight, judging by the general dampness and the puddles on the roof of the garages round the back

And to start, it’s overcast with the sun a mere diffuse blob of light. Not actually chilly though: it’s already 19°C, but won’t get any warmer than 21°. The barometers are down to 999/1006mB

I’m hoping the lawn picks up with the rain - not so much the grass as whatever lives among it. I’ve noticed over the past few days that the magpies are wandering around a lot but not finding much of whatever it is they peck at down there to peck at, and seemed a bit disconsolate as a result. Maybe the bug population will revive with a bit more water and a bit less heat

[NickFitz]

This evening’s viewing was the rest of the Police Interceptors I started watching the other night

And tonight I read more of Station Eleven which continues to be very good

There have been strange noises outside, which I believe to have been caused by water descending from the heavens! What sorcery is this?

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been the leftover experimental chicken casserole from… last week? The week before? Can’t remember. Anyway, it was very nice with chips and peas; I’ll have to make that again, with a few minor adjustments

There’s been some rain from time to time, but it’s the kind that you can’t even see when you look out of the window and lasts a very short time. So the only effect is that although it isn’t as hot as it has been, it feels very humid

[ladymuck]

I did some laundry this morning. Discovered I'd left a tissue in my jeans pocket, and there's bits of tissue now stuck to everything.

This afternoon I had a call for a potential gig. I think it went well but we'll have to wait and see.

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been assorted charcuterie in a white bap

It was one of the baps I made last week and I was able to confirm that yes, they’re a bit big. But at least I won’t get hungry this afternoon

[NickFitz]

Links are up

[xoggoth]

Day to meself, apart from walky, probably spend most of me time replacing fence at bottom of garden, awkward job as over a stream. Else been trying to calculate more accurate postage costs on checkout page on me little business website. When you rarely do any coding it gets much harder.

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Blue sky with occasional lumps of fluff. Currently 21 degrees ('feels like' 24) with a high of 26 expected. Barometer down to 1017 mBar.

Sunrise 05:50; Sunset 20:20 BST

I have a couple of meetings this morning for gig1, which annoyingly overlap. Depending on the agenda of the first meeting, I will either leave it early or stay to the end and be late for the second. The owner of the second meeting has been informed of this.

Once that's done, I need to go to the post office to return some items purchased from Next and to post some letters in the box outside. Mostly "return to sender, addressee unknown".
