Only a month until TPD's 20th birthday
How should we mark that momentous occasion?

Leftover chilli here for lunch - a nice mix of meat and three bean. Middle child has gone vegetarian which means nice leftovers several times per week now.

Lunch has been a bit of leftover spicy lamb and onion starter from Saturday
Quite sunny here, though there's some banks of white cloud about the place

Morning all
Blue sky with occasional wisps. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 19 expected. Barometer up to 1024 mBar.
Sunrise 07:10; Sunset 18:27 BST
Meetings. Nagging people to find and give me information because they won't let me talk to someone with answers to my questions. Other than that, living the dream.

Morning everyone.
Blue skies here, almost Simpsonsesque, but a bit chilly with it.
Counting down the days in current PermieHellCo as I move back to the CS next year. In January it'll be five years since my last contract gig ended - but the state of the market seems to have absolutely tanked. It was getting hard to find decent gigs even then. Next month my Ltd Co will be closed. It's like the end of an era (sadly - I actually used to enjoy the freedom contracting afforded). Ho hum.

Morning.
Monday.
Dry.
Wanly sunny.
Blue sky in parts.
Chilly in here at 17.5 deg, 16.5 in the kitchen, 15.5 in the leanto, 12.7 in the saltinghouse.
1019.5 mBar, 30.1 in Hg, 764.7 Torr, 14.786 psi, (up from 1017 last night), 62% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 20th of February 2020: same as yesterday.
Washing frenzy in progress. How have I reached the stage of doing the washing on Monday? As was always the case for decades.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: bit of a thing about swans on R4, the swans in question being post Mao Chinese.
I see that "They" have "improved" Sounds by making it worse. Twas always thus: some feckwhit techie thinks they've improved what was already good by ******* it up.
We shall find out how totally ****ed up it is when iRoning time arrives shortly.
It forgets that it's progressed to the next ep in the series. The old version didn't do that.
Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine.
The last of the washing frenzy is about to meet the iRon, then it'll be over for another week.

Morning denizens
Sunny start, with just a few small, flat bits of cloud towards the horizon. Still a little breeze left, though nothing like it has been; the current 11°C "feels like" 7° as a result, but we can expect a balmy high of 19° for much of the afternoon. The barometers are, as expected, up at 1010/1018mB

Later viewing this evening was also on Netflix: Famous Last Words: Dr. Jane Goodall, recorded in March. It's an interesting idea for a programme. The interviewee is guaranteed that it won't be broadcast (well, streamed) until after their death. There aren't even any members of the production crew in the studio, only the interviewer: the cameras are operated remotely, and the operators don't have an audio feed. She had a lot of good things to say, though not about Trump, Musk, Putin, Xi, and Netanyahu
In The Andromeda Strain, the containment of the space organism has started to fail!
Goodnight all

Tea has been the leg, wing, and a bit of breast off the Big Chicken, with chips
To go with it, a further episode of Netflix's Critical: Between Life and Death

Lunch was some leftover chicken 65 from last night
Lots of time was going to be spent on doing RealityKit stuff, but it ended up being SwiftUI stuff instead; to wit, sorting out how to handle opening and saving files from the File menu without scattering the relevant code in a load of different parts of the app. Worked it all out in the end, and it's quite tidy now

Tedious drive down. Took over 2 hours. Breezy down here with lumps of fluff scurrying about.
The brown sauce has gone missing. Had to have red sauce on our bacon sandwiches. A quick check with my brother reveals it was there yesterday so it's likely she threw it out. That's the current behaviour. I'll pop up to the shop and get a new bottle plus more bread as she's eaten all that too.

Walk with loony lady 3 later. Nice to walk with someone who's fit, unlike the other two, I'm just hanging around waiting for them much of the time.

Off to see Mum when I've finished my coffee.
