Afternoon all

Warm, dry, sunny. Occasional fluff. Currently 27 degrees with a high of 28 expected. Barometer steady at 1018 mBar.

The morning was spent job hunting, looking at courses to do and laundry.

I then thought I'd better download my final bill from BT and pop that into my accounts. On opening the file, I noticed that it was a normal full months' charge and not the £19 final bill I was expecting to pay. The online chat was useless and asked me to test if the line was still active. I asked if they would (a) return the equipment I sent back and (b) bail me out if I'm charged with breaking and entering as I no longer have access to the property. On phoning, in the hope of reaching someone with a brain cell, I spoke to someone in billing who said the charge was correct because the cease order was still open. On reaching order management, they said the order was still open and they'd raise a ticket for someone to see why. Apparently, there is no way of anyone knowing that an order is / is not completed successfully until a customer calls with a complaint.

My Nectar points that were stolen in April are back!

They haven't bothered to notify me, or not yet, but some time between a promotional email three days ago and one today, they've reappeared

Lunch has been a chunky fish finger bap (wholemeal) with red sauce

It continues sunny and warm

grumpy email sent

Reply received, which basically says "we've not been testing it properly" ("we" being a bunch of Mrs Sunak's staff, not those of us who have been asking them for the last 6 months to run tests, and they have been replying that the tests were successful)

Meanwhile on the 23rd of October 2019 NF found it foggy, there was some lying Tory **** on the Today programme, a chap had brought his very own keyboard sanitiser kit to the library computer room (maybe he was prescient?), DaveB related tales of Things Found When Cleaning Keyboards, giving opportunity of comparing that with the stuff that fell out of the keyboards in Ye Olde Sloughe of Desponde, whereas NF was debating on what to have for lunch.


Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the searing heat. Or something.

Lunch: baked spud etc.

Entertainment: Bottom Line: private skools. VAT's that all about? <click>

Cleaned the downstairs windows due to the afternoon ennui getting too strong.

Entertainment: The Mentalist S1 E5, E6.

Tea: soup etc.

Morning denizens

Another sunny start, and it's also going to be a warm one! Already at 16°C with 25° expected by mid-afternoon, and it's not expected to dip below 16° tonight and will be even warmer tomorrow. The barometers are only up a little more though, at 1009/1016mB

Telly was, unsurprisingly, an old Police Interceptors

Tomorrow's the day when the chap has the meeting with the other chap that may be about putting this project out of our misery, or may just be a normal catch-up. I could do with a rest…

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been Barnsley chops (from Chatsworth) with chips, peas and gravy. Very nice

Due to the State Opening of Parliament, all the government buildings in the vicinity of Whitehall were inside a strict security cordon today, meaning people from the department heading in to the office were being kettled in St. James' Park while ID was checked and so on. One of them was stood next to a bloke who announced to the police that he was the head of MI6, producing his government pass stating same, and he wanted to be let through immediately. The police politely told him to stay in line and wait his turn

Enough boxes have been dealt with in the kitchen that it actually looks like a nice space!!

Now do mine!

Afternoon all

Sunny with occasional fluff. Currently 22 degrees with a high of 24 expected. Barometer up to 1018 mBar.

Uneventful morning. The usual job hunting. Some effort expended on trying to source a gardener for Mum. Enough boxes have been dealt with in the kitchen that it actually looks like a nice space!!

Pukka steak slice for lunch

What is usually a comparatively mellow day has been largely filled with meetings this week, much to my displeasure

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning.

Wednesday.

Dry.

Sunnyish.

Cool in here at 20 deg, 20.5 in the kitchen, 19.8 in the leanto.

1015 mBar, 29.973 in Hg, 761.3 Torr, 14.72 psi, (up from 1011 last night), 71% RH (GDR hair).

Meanwhile on the 22nd of October 2019 NF was drying laundry whilst cooking a roast lamb dinner, followed by watching more of Breaking Bad S5, whereas I was watching the "Band Candy" ep of BTVS which introduces Faith as a Slayer.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine. Nice breeze.

Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on in its usual way.

Logged into a Yahoo mail thingie: feck me what a pain: had to log into another email thingie to confirm that I wasn't a robot trying to steal my way into my own account. Nothing of innerest in there anyway, so I logged back out again.

Nothing in any of the other three either, apart from some pimp who thought I might be innerested in some contract in Ross on Wye that requires Python whatever that is. The only match between the requirements and my CV (whichever ancient copy he/she/it was working from) was "Testing" and "Embedded".

House roughly vacced for the sake of something to do.

Tea: chicken in white sauce etc. Managed not to choke myself on it this time.

Entertainment: PM.

Better Call Saul S1 E1.

The Human Jungle.

Enough of Saul: The Mentalist S1 E1, E2, E3, E4. Rather like Veronica Mars it makes me larf which Saul didn't.
