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.

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

Chilly in here at 16.4 deg, 15.5 in the kitchen, 14 in the leanto.
1005 mBar, 29.6776 in Hg, 753.8 Torr, 14.576 psi, (down from 1006 last night), 64% RH (Lidl electric).
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.
Morning all
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.
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’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
How about a “Go to date” feature? Useful for TPD, and the Dead Celebrities thread is getting a bit big now too. People might like being able to see who died on this day x years ago and so on
The time machine option on TPD should be a user configurable feature. I'd love to be taken back to an historic post. Some of DrS's mentions make me spend ages hunting down that date on the thread and looking at what I was doing around that time.

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.
