Afternoon denizens!

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

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.

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.

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.

Morning denizens

Sunny start, although there's a very fine, high haze. The weather app says "cloudy conditions will continue all day", giving no indication of whether this means the haze lingering, or ominous grey things rolling in and making it look like midnight

Anyway, it's mild enough at 13°C though only reaching 19° later. The barometers are down a little but at 1011/1018mB

[NickFitz]

I forgot to put the irritating US border people on today, but I did get some mucking around with parametric curves and surfaces of revolution done in Swift

This evening's viewing started with Trauma Room One, which was followed by an old 24 Hours in A&E

And then I read some more of Atomic Accidents, covering the Demon Core and other mishaps at Los Alamos, and several similar examples of overconfidence by researchers in the USSR

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea: chicken in red wine sauce with chips and peas

And I've just remembered I've got a strawberry cream sponge in the fridge

Positively summery out today, reaching 22°C earlier, and with the merest wisps of fluff in the sky

HWMBO is off to talk TOGAF at people for a few days.

Referencing for the new place completed successfully and now I'm hoping the removals company still have availability in the week I want to move.
