    Another request for the new forum:

    Can we have updated phrases under the avatars - I'm a bit bored of "I live on CUK" and "ladymuck has reached the peak. Play again?"

    Morning all

    Overcast but not too dull. Damp. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 16 expected. Will remain cloudy all day with a chance of rain early evening. Barometer up to 1011 mBar.

    Sunrise 06:59; Sunset 16:30 GMT

    Many meetings today. I think I need to find a new gig as I'm bored of this one. A friend at ClientCo was surprised at how long this current stint has lasted.

    Very grumpy at the way the GB pound is performing against the US dollar. My USD invoices with otherClientCo are not worth as much as two months ago. I may need to renegotiate my rate if I'm extended into 2026. EDIT: What a complete load of nonsense that was. The rate has moved in my favour

    Grey.

    Dark.

    Dank.

    Dreary.

    Drizzly.

    Windy.

    Sunless.

    Chilly in here at 16.4 deg, 15.5 in the kitchen, 14 in the leanto.

    Meanwhile on the 27th of February 2020 Brillo popped in a lot, LM disagreed with him over some comestible, NF remembered to put the bins out, and so did LM.

    It wasn't raining on our walk, but it is now. Blowing an absolute hooley at the back of the house, but it was sheltered and warm (12C) on the walk.
    All play bin day, and they are just picking up our black bin now.

    Morning denizens

    It’s a rainy start out, having been a rainy night - so much so that it woke me up at one point. Apparently milder with it at 12°C, though it “feels like” 5° because it’s also windy; the expected high is 12°. The barometers are up a touch at 996/1003mB

    I found time for a bit more mucking around with CoreGraphics stuff this evening. Points can now be labelled with their coordinates

    And in Ambient, things are about to get complicated

    Monday again tomorrow! Oh well

    Goodnight all

    I’d been thinking for a while that it would be useful, but it would have been a nightmare to add to the present incarnation. I reckon it shouldn’t be too complicated with the new platform

    Oh and the bed has been made. There will be no nasty surprises at bedtime.

    The drive down to Sussex was uneventful and quite free flowing. The drive back was slower.

    Mum tried to argue that you can't call a bathroom a bathroom if it doesn't have a bath in it (we were watching A Place in the Sun). So my brother and I asked what she calls the room that she has a shower in and then she contradicted herself pretty much instantly. It was quite funny. You had to be there.

    My brother was very impressed by the body work done on my car, which was a relief. I was pleased with it but he gave it a close inspection and said that it was a really good job.
