^^ I liked the Resident Evil films. I may have to give them a rewatch. BloodRayne (2005), on the other hand, was a very poor movie adaptation of a not completely terrible game. Uwe Boll, enough said.
Morning all
Dull and overcast. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 21 expected. The ever-present minor threat of rain persists. Barometer up a smidge to 1017 mBar.

The wedding was as expected. Lots of waiting around for things to happen. Lots of corralling of guests for photo opportunities. The food was decent, if under seasoned, and the speeches suitably turgid. Mum didn't have a clue what was going on half the time and my nephew kept her topped up with Pimms. We left after the speeches in the dead period where the venue was being reconfigured for the evening reception. I was home before 8pm.
Today, I have an unexpected non-billing day. I could have logged on and billed but decided not to bother. I might work Monday instead.Leave a comment:

Movie night tonight! The major motion picture premiere was A Working Man (2025) in which Jason Statham is a former British special forces chap who's Moved On and Doesn't Do That Any More… until his friend's daughter is kidnapped, whereupon he has to revert to being Jason Statham. It's well plotted with a decent story that turns out much as one would expect from one of his films, and none the worse for that
And then a rewatch of Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004), the second film of that ilk, which is also much as one might expect. I still think these are generally a lot better than films based on a game would be expected to be
Goodnight all

Timesheets done for the week, dinner book for tomorrow night, The Dog is going to stay with his favourite uncle after I’ve walked him (The Dog) in the morning.

Found it! It was from the Irish Food Board's website; I'll have to see if they've got any other good recipes on there, because that one was a winnerOriginally posted by NickFitz View PostTonight's tea has been that pork and cider thing I made the other week with chips and peas. It's very nice, but I can't remember how I made it! It must have been based on a recipe I found online, so I'll have to search my browser history

This was accompanied by the not-very-motorway cops thing. At least the producers have finally come around to the idea that the dash cam clips and archive footage they include should maybe have some vague relevance to what's going on in the programme

I've hauled everything out from the cupboard under the sink, as they'll need to get in there to unhook the old washer-dryer and connect the new one. This has made me realise that it doesn't actually have to be the cluttered and disorganised mess that I've just kind of accepted. That was simply a result of me dumping stuff in there in a hurry when I was first moving in, then adding more stuff as and when something seemed like it belonged in there
It doesn't help that the pipes for the washer-dryer are trailing across it though. Once the new one's been installed, I'll rig something up to run those along the top, or at least higher up, out of the way

Lunch: Heinz oxtail soup and white toast
It continues to be a gloomy and rather chilly day. It's not even up to 20°C out yet, and only 21.4° in here

Somebody just used the lift to go to the top floor so unless they're still in there, it'll probably be OK for Friday
The drizzly showers continued for a while but seem to have moved on. It's still looking very gloomy and grey out there though, as if it's thinking about bringing them back

Wedding day. None of us want to go. Mum especially was refusing to get dressed, saying her family are all c's and why would she want to see them. Last week she was pleased at the prospect, saying she hasn't seen them in ages. My brother managed to get her bundled in the car a mere 25 mins behind schedule. Said schedule has a heck of a lot of slack, thank goodness. I'm thinking I'd like to come home after the speeches finish at 6pm. This does mean forfeiting a night in the salubrious Travelodge Maidenhead but that's a cost I'm willing to bear.Leave a comment:

Rain! This was not foretold by the weather app - and it still isn't acknowledging it, even as I look out of the window at the drizzly showers that can also be seen passing over on the radar app

Morning denizens
Another rather grey day, though apparently it might brighten up a bit this afternoon. It's staying cooler too: 15°C now with a high of 20° predicted. The barometers are much the same at 1007/1015mB
There's been much activity from the lift this morning, after the manner of a lift engineer checking it out. I hope it's just a routine inspection or a service or something; I doubt the washer-dryer delivery people will be keen on carrying the new machine up to the third floor via the stairs on Friday
