Almost finished reading Heathern

And I did some more mucking around with RealityKit shaders

Lots of meetings tomorrow, which is a shame as the other dev and I have been working out how to do something and made some good progress today. But we won't have much time to take it any further until Thursday at this rate

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Saturday leftovers here too, Turkish in my case

To go with this, I started watching American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden on Netflix, a three-parter

Ended up having a very early dinner that was Thai curry leftovers from Saturday evening.

The evening's ents has started with the new series of Ambulance on iPlayer.

Finished work and it's already almost dark

Another 2+ hr doing footpath inspection. Back & relax with me puppet parrot. I see that local woodland charity has a photo of volunteers on it's main page, I'm right in the middle with a youngish lady, her arm round me shoulder.

Lunch: pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

Very variable weather today. It turned cloudy earlier, now it's brightening up again. Still breezy

off for flu/covid jag later. deep joy.

The chinese plague jab is 75 or older now. .

Morning.

Monday apparently.

Odd dreams about cats. .

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

Chilly in here at 15.8 deg, 15 in the kitchen, 13.5 in the leanto.

1006 mBar, 29.7 in Hg, 754.6 Torr, 14.59 psi (up from 1002 last night), 57% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 26th of February 2020 I'd managed to stagger back down the hill very slowly, NF commiserated: when he did the same thing he did it on the front path rather than a mile and a half up a hill, Brillo popped in a lot, eek found a bug in Teams, WTFH popped in.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine. Scarf on again and an umbrella just in case.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Y&Y <click>

More of that thing about the German Jews.

Freecell score: 86%, running average: 84%. Down at 33% at one stage.

Tea: chicken in white sauce etc. Nice enough.

Entertainment: PM <click>

The Nazi programme: The Yamamoto. 18" guns & all.

Oak Island nutjobbery. They found some wood , a bit of carved rock, a chain, and a hook from said chain. The stopping up of the leak in the garden shaft is ongoing. Swamp drained.

History's Greatest Mysteries: The Antikythera Mechanism: inneresting enough until the Ancient Aliens nutjobs turned up halfway through: plainly fabricated by Ancient Aliens or some far future society and sent back through time: alternatively: it's a time machine.

Morning all

Sunny with occasional fluff balls wafting past. Quite breezy. Currently 13 degrees ('feels like' 10) and that's the high for the day. Cloud cover set to increase as the day progresses. Barometer down to 1005 mBar.

Sunrise 06:46; Sunset 16:43 GMT

Once again, the battle commences to get my heating controls to recognise what the time is. It has some nonsense time signal update that overwrites the settings and it's hard to fathom what time zone it actually thinks it's in. It'll take me a week or so of trying options, waiting for the 12 hourly update to see if they stick and trying again.

Oh, and HWMBO is on his way back to Glasgow.

Monday, - urrrgh.
off for flu/covid jag later. deep joy.

[WTFH]

Morning all a very pleasant walk has been had without the need for a head torch. A couple of weeks before it will be required in the morning, but it will be an evening necessity now - one that I don't mind.
11C with a few clouds when we went out, 10C and clear skies now. Not much of a breeze.

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

Very windy out, with some clouds and some sky and possibly some light rain in a few minutes. It's 9°C but "feels like" 0°, but the wind should ease off this afternoon so maybe the high of 12° will feel a bit more like itself. The barometers are down at 991/999mB

[NickFitz]

Read more of Heathern in which the parallels to the present day are getting even stronger as the trillionaire owner of Dryco goes to extreme lengths to secure the technology needed to create AI

This afternoon was largely given over to various bits of PHP stuff

Monday tomorrow, and back to work for me

Goodnight all
