Uneventful morning.

Paid the moving deposit. Booked parking suspensions for moving day. Booked broadband installation (full fibre!).

Music thing yesterday and ll1 didn't turn up, said she'd lost track of time. It was pretty boring anyway so glad I didn't have to stay. We all put flowers outside today for neighbour's funeral, seems she had viral pneumonia. Knackering long footpath inspection followed by brief call on another neighbour. Various falls again when she couldn't get up. Same thing with neighbour other side. hope I don't get like that soon.

A meeting overran and there wasn't much time to do anything before the next one, so I bought myself a new iPad Air just for something to do. Delivery tomorrow

CovToyota developed a blow on the exhaust over the weekend. It's due an MOT next month and so I may be reaching the point of deciding whether it lives for another year. It's on 115k so should have a little while left yet with some nursing along. Thankfully I no longer get through cars like I did before the Covid times when I'd just accept driving all over the country for contracts.

It's a Toyota - patch up that bit and the rest of it will keep going forever

Can't remember exactly what mine's on but I think it's about 165K at the age of 23

Afternoon denizens!

Rather cool and cloudy here today but at least it isn't raining.

8 weeks left here on my notice. No signs of another job yet but that's OK I guess. I'd be hoping a bit to find a contract this far out! I just need to fight through having basically no enthusiasm and not a huge amount (though not zero) of work to do.

Which took me back to 2nd of October 2019.

This software really is borked.

Unlike this one which took me back to October 5th 2019. .

Lunch: roast beef bap (wholemeal) with a bag of plain crisps

[sadkingbilly]

ah, - right! - another useful 'feature' then

ahhh, - bugrit bugrit. got a multiquote from the cambrian epoch stuck now.
flaky forum strikes again.

You need to go to the post and turn off the multi quote thing, I'm afraid: https://forums.contractoruk.com/ligh...ml#post2998332

Leftover onion bhaji and meat samosa for lunch

The bhajis from that place are good, but not as truly excellent as the ones from the place round the corner

Autocorrect keeps turning "bhajis" to "hajis". They're nice, but not worth going on a pilgrimage over

Morning all

Cloudy but dry and bright enough. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 20 expected. Barometer down to 1022 mBar.

I was supposed to go to the office today. However, the Lizzy Line was on the wonk and I wasn't inclined to spend 90 mins trying to get there only to leave in 4h to come home again.




3rd choice Only signed up for a year as I suspect I won't want to stay there for very long.

Most sane people don't GAF about TOGAF

is GAF about TOGAF an inexcusable gaffe though?

is that 1st or 3rd choice gaff?
as for TOGAF, i've never learned how TOGAF, so i basically don't GAF (or even GAFF) very often

good luck with the new gaff, though

Morning.

Monday.

Looks like that thing that comes back every now & again has come back again. Presumably plague related.

Dry.

Wanly sunny.

Cool in here at 18.8 deg, 19.5 deg in the kitchen, 19 deg in the leanto.

1019 mBar, 30.09 in Hg, 764.3 Torr, 14.779 psi, (down from 1022 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 4th of October 2019 NF was watching "Casino (1995)" and was unimpressed with the inclusion of adverts, and the plot in general (though not specifically), whereas I watched a thing about the Concorde crash and the one where the windscreen blew out of a BA plane due to The Wrong Screws being used to bolt it in.

This morning my back is reminding me I neglected to flip and/or rotate the mattress. I wonder if I can rotate it without disturbing the sheets and mattress protector.

Duly done successfully. Or at least it's successful for now, tonight, on the other hand, may prove different. .

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom. Found a 3mm welding rod on the road so stuck it in the hedge before some lucky sod gets it stuck in a tyre.

Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

Entertainment: TWATO. <click>

The thing about the thefts at the BM.

Did I mention the moth flying out of the toaster the other day after I'd toasted some bread?

Well if I didn't, I have now.

Gardening if that be defined as hacking at stuff and raking stuff & putting the results in the compost.

Adjourned to watch the tv only to find the programme had started 25 minutes early, the bastards, so had to watch the beginning on +1.

Veronica Mars S3 E1 "Welcome Wagon" wherein our heroine retrieves the stolen goods of a freshman student person.

It's a bit like BTVS S4 which I didn't enjoy much due to it bringing back memories I'd rather forget.

Gardening Part Deux: no more Mr Niceguy, this time the rake and the shears came out: the honeysuckle had a haircut as did the brambles and some long grass.

Considering that path was clear about 6 weeks ago all that tulipe has grown really fast, especially the goosegrass, the brambles, and the honeysuckle.

Tea: chilli con carne (tinned, Stag) etc. Nice enough & saves cooking the tulip.

Entertainment: PM. <click>

This box stops responding to the keyboard every now & again, which is irritating.

And this time it didn't restore the open windows so I had to use history.

Morning all
CBS, etc. Hot hot hot yesterday and after a weekend of family and dogs around, neither Max nor I wanted to go out this morning, so perambulation = 0km.
