Morning all

TFIF, etc.
Another mizzly morning, so bad that I took the head torch with me just in case, but didn't need it.

[NickFitz]

I finished Peace and War; I enjoyed Forever Peace but it doesn’t have anything to do with the other two apart from being about war and peace

I also did a bit more work on the SwiftUI stuff

It started raining off and on here at lunchtime and it still is, having become steadier this evening; I think it hasn’t stopped for the last hour or more. Oh well, it’s good for the trees

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea: ribs and chips

Along with that, I watched the second part of Murder Case: The Hunt for Arlene Fraser’s Killer

[NickFitz]

Lunch never happened, because I went and did the shopping instead. So that’s out of the way and the weekend starts here!

As expected, we got stuck into the tech debt thing we’d been putting off, and made a bit of progress before lunch. After lunch, the other dev wasn’t up to working as she’d taken one of her animals to the vet and received some bad news - I don’t know what, thinking it better not to hassle her with questions. This left me on my own for the afternoon, and I pretty much got it all sorted out! There’s a few details left for the mopping up stage, so (with her approval) I’ve left those for her to finish up tomorrow

Now having a bag of salt & vinegar crisps to stave off the pangs of hunger while I decide what to have for tea

[xoggoth]

Old fart Mahjong at local cafe this morning, I won again. Wondering if to bother going shopping today, hate boring shopping, wish I had a butler to do it for me. Just done Wordle in 2 goes, lucky day.

Gig3 is trying to get me to attend a Corporate Induction Day that will take all day. Need to work out just how mandatory my attendance is...

1010 mBar, 29.83 in Hg, 757.6 Torr, 14.65 psi, (down from 1011 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 18th of March 2020 Brillo, LM, NF, WTFH, vetran and I popped in. Toilet roll purchases were ongoing.

Actually had breakfast this morning.

Parcel delivery: accomplished. Presumably Yet Another Single Malt I've never heard of.

Lunch with sister: well that's another £120 I'll never see again.

Now getting outside a cup of mediocre yet consistent coffee which was rather more enjoyable than the cup of Americano I paid for earlier. . Oh, and the last of the shortcake despatched by my dear niece earlier in the week. Needless to say there's nothing from next door. .

Book.

Tea: beans on toast. Cost a bit less than lunch. .

Entertainment: PM. <click>

Sky Arts: Discovering Tommy Lee Jones.

Classic movies: the story of the 3rd man.

Classic Lit: Great Adventure Novel adaptations.

BBC2 (not W): AI Confidential with Hannah Fry.

[WTFH]

Morning all
12C feels like 10C out, mizzle earlier that appears to be lifting a little.
Didn't even put the head torch in my pocket this morning, and unless there's foggy days, I might soon be putting it away for a few months.

Morning denizens

It’s one of those days that starts cloudy but with gaps towards the horizon, and a bit breezy. These can turn sunny after a while, but it’s going to continue to be windy and rain will start towards teatime and carry on through the evening, so it may stay cloudy instead. It’s 10°C but “feels like” 3° and the expected high is 12°, with the barometers unchanged at 1002/1010mB

Thursday!

It isn’t Viz week and although I do need some stuff, it isn’t a lot. So, depending on how the other dev rolls, I’ll see if I can grab enough time at lunchtime to pop along to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s and get the shopping out of the way

[NickFitz]

I read some more of Peace and War

And I did some Swift stuff, following a tutorial from some people who know much more about SwiftUI than I do. Not only did I learn a lot of cool things, I also got a good way to implementing a UI component I’d been trying to work out how to implement for ages! That was just with part one, so I’m going to follow the remaining four parts of that tutorial and also go through their others

Thursday tomorrow!

It’s supposed to be tech debt day, but I’d really like to finish off the thing I just about got working today by going thirty minutes over my usual time. It’s up to the other dev though; I think she’d like us to work together on the thing we got a good way through two weeks ago. Fair enough; we’ve been putting it off since before Christmas

Goodnight all

[xoggoth]

Brill sunny warm day. After me solo walk I took infirm old loony lady 3 for short walk. Had a coffee in cafe on balcony overlooking the reservoir, great place.

Been messing with me Excel version of me mappy thing to work and just couldn't figure out for ages why click on position gave wrong lat/lon. Then noticed the Excel image is at a different scale to original, even though zoom is set at 100% and scalewidth, scaleheight are set 100% relative to image size. Hmmm!

[NickFitz]

Tea has been shepherd’s pie

On the box: E1 (of two) of Murder Case: The Hunt for Arlene Fraser’s Killer on iPlayer

[ladymuck]

Double booking issue resolved. Fortunately, another theatre outing planned for July has been moved to 2027 so I'm taking that slot up with the one that I booked Cadiz over.

Much laundry has been done. Not sure it's warm enough outside for my jeans to dry.

Windows open in a bid to air the flat but the lack of a breeze means not much is happening.
