Tonight’s only viewing was the remainder of last night’s Police Interceptors

I must remember to watch E2 of that thing about the Swedish women who went berserk on the motorway.

In Stalingrad, mayhem continues - but winter has started, and the Germans have launched and failed at what will turn out to be their last major assault on what’s left of the city

The rain’s back

But: Thursday tomorrow!

This weekend will be one of great confusion as my routine is thrown into disarray by an appointment with the dental hygienist on Saturday. I’ll be across the river for that so I’ll put the shopping off until then, as I can head down to Big Sainsbury’s after it

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

A bit of roast gammon out of the freezer with chips, fried egg, and beans for tea

It continued gloomy until nightfall here, but I think the rain’s finally petered out

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been the leftover belly pork from the other night, in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

Still grey and, I think, occasionally drizzly here

It’s a day of several meetings today, being the end of one sprint and start of another

Sunrise 07:55; Sunset 16:32 GMT

In ClientCo's office today.

[WTFH]

Morning all
6C and what I thought was light rain and little breeze turned out not to be. No such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes. I should have had my waterproof trousers on instead of jeans under my stockman coat.

Morning denizens

Grey day out there, and damp again after last night’s rain. It’s 4°C which “feels like” -2°, so maybe still a bit breezy too, with an expected high of 9°, and the rain’s expected to resume shortly and continue resuming for much of the day (95% tending towards 55% later). The barometers are well down at 980/988mB

[NickFitz]

Bad times in Stalingrad for both sides, though I reckon the Germans will have a harder time of it when winter comes

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has, eventually, been ribs and chips, made with my special mango BBQ sauce

Ribs take ages to cook, and this wasn’t helped by the fact I was busy working on something this afternoon which made me forget to pop them in the oven around 3pm

I chucked some chipotle chilli flakes in the sauce this time, just to give it a bit of a kick. It worked very well; I might even stick a bit more in next time

[NickFitz]

I had to pop round to the chemist’s for the usual monthly prescription, and to my surprise it felt very slightly chilly but not the bitter cold I was expecting! Helps that the wind seems to have dropped a fair bit

It was the perfect excuse to continue popping a little further to the kebab shop as well, but I’ve got some stuff that needs to be used today and is already in the oven

[sadkingbilly]

afternoon all
nice sunny day, here.
lunch was a toasted onion bagel, with warm salt beef, English mustard and sliced wallys.
not so nice as those purchased from Blooms of Whitechapel, when i worked in that London, but very nice anyway.

[ladymuck]

Here too there seems to be more gaps than clouds at the moment.

[NickFitz]

Bit of pork pie for lunch

It’s turned sunny out now, but the somewhat Simpsonesque clouds are still whizzing by at a rate of knots

As far as I know, our garden waste gets taken away by the gardener(s)

[ladymuck]

Morning all
Windy out. One of our bins had blown over, although that's not the biggest disaster... last night I put our garden waste out. It's collected every other Tuesday but they take 4 weeks off over Christmas. An embarrassing disaster on my part - the collecting is NEXT Tuesday. Not sure I can show my face in public for a few days.

My first garden collection is next Tuesday too. Not that I have much of a garden needing a fortnightly collection but it does come in handy.

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Alternating between cloudy and less cloudy with flashes of sky. Damp from overnight precipitation. Currently 9 degrees ('feels like' 7) and that's the high for the day. Barometer down to 1010 mBar.

Sunrise 07:55; Sunset 16:30 GMT

Still haven't got the contract for gig 3. The person who asked me to work with them is annoyed by the delay. It's now with Adecco to do checks and issue the paperwork. I reckon I'll be starting next week if I can get the contract and SDS by Wednesday lunchtime for it go for a review.
