The dodgy Swiss consultancyCo say they want me for 20h a week next year. New client meeting tomorrow morning to discuss that opportunity. Other gig is amenable to me dropping to 3 days a week next year so it could be possible to juggle three gigs if I wanted to be greedy.
Chilly in here at 15.1 deg, 15 in the kitchen, 13 in the leanto.
1007 mBar, 27.74 in Hg, 755.3 Torr, 14.6 psi, (up from 1000 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 5th of March 2020 NF was contemplating visiting the market after dropping the car off, Brillo popped in, I watched "Hang 'em High", NF trundled the bins, LM didn't.
Partial washing frenzy in progress. I note it's getting darker & darker so it'll be in the TD shortly.
Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away: enlivened by the bottle of milk leaking in my back pack thusly explaining why my leg seemed wet & getting wetter. Not best pleased.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: someone waffling on about bog bodies.
It’s a mostly clear sky out so likely to be sunny later if it holds up, but it’s pretty windy too. Not quite as mild either: currently 9°C (“feels like” 1°) with a high of just 11°, which isn’t bad for the time of year but isn’t as warm as it has been. The barometers are bouncing back though, at 997/1005mB
And in the GSG 9 book, they’ve finally got an opportunity to put their training into practice as they prepare to storm a hijacked Lufthansa airliner at Mogadishu airport
Another day done, and only two more to go this year!
I managed to complete the stuff I was hoping to get done today, despite the people wittering on about stuff all the way from Newcastle
Because of that, our sprint changeover meetings (retrospective, backlog refinement, planning) have been pushed back to Thursday. So I’ll spend much of that day involved in planning for a sprint for which I won’t be present
Then again, the other dev is taking several extra days off here and there in the run-up to Christmas too. So I don’t think there'll actually be much to plan for

Have to go and pick The Wife up from the train. Main road is flooded. The "locals" diversion is a single track road with no passing places. Those same lanes will be full of ladies in SUVs going to pick up their children from school. I'm guessing a 10 minute journey will take half an hour.
