Tea was pork steaks with chips and beans

And it was accompanied by an old Traffic Cops

Then Jessica Jones: A.K.A. Crush Syndrome being S1E2 of said series

[NickFitz]

Lunch: a bacon bap (white)

For a few minutes this morning, it looked like I might have some work to do. But it involved working with someone else, and they've got a lot of meetings today so they aren't going to get started on the thing in question until tomorrow

So I'm back to looking through documentation and the like. Might poke around a few GitHub repos of relevance later, just to see how bits fit together

Outside, it continues windy and drizzly

Local history group lady just been round to use my laminator for some posters. Nice to have a bit of company. Been invited to a quiz this evening, not sure as got no brain anymore. Won't know any answers unless about dinosaurs or periodic table.

Morning all

Dull, overcast, damp. Not currently raining but the forecast says to expect it mid afternoon. Currently 15 degrees with a high of 16 expected. Barometer up to 1012 mBar.

No other news to report at this time.

Morning.

Wednesday.

Dry.

Dark.

Dank.

Dreary.

Sunless (after yesterday's lovely sunset).

Chilly in here at 15.2 deg, 16.5 in the kitchen, 14 in the leanto.

1010.3 mBar, 29.834 in Hg, 757.787 Torr, 14.653 psi, (up from 1010 last night), 76% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 18th of November 2019 NF posted Monday Links and toddled off to the pharmacy to get his monthly fix, whereas BR14 had been set up by the client for the job I thought he'd told them to feck off for.

Entertainment: The Coming Storm on R4.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the unexpected sunshine and gloom.

Lunch: there was.

Five lawns duly mown. I wish I knew what I seeded that bottom bit with, it's twice as lush as the rest and the seed all came from Wilko, allegedly the same stuff.

Freecell score: 100%, running average: 77% (making up for the 50% this morning).

Tea: scrambled egg etc.

Entertainment: book. That Smiley, wot's he like?

Maigret and the Flemish House (1992) with Bruno Cremer. I've watched this three times now and it was worth while watching it again. Odd to think the little boy is now in his 30s.

Morning denizens

Grey start again, with copious traces of overnight rain. Not overly cold for the time of year at 11°C with a high of 15°, though the breeze means it "feels like" 5° right now. The barometers are creeping back up at 1002/1010mB and the already breezy breeze is expected to get breezier, with a chance of the odd shower now and then

[WTFH]

Morning all
Overcast, but about 6C warmer this morning than yesterday. I was wearing too heavy a jacket on the perambulation.

[NickFitz]

Tonight's viewing was a new Police Interceptors

And a few more chapters of Eternity have been read

I suppose I'd better get some sleep now; there's a definite risk of being expected to do some work tomorrow

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been oniony chicken casserole - a fresh batch made in the Remoska, so instead of chips it had slices of potato spread over the top to soak up the fat that rises and get crispy

[NickFitz]

Well, that's the afternoon done. Still raining a bit from time to time, and very breezy

The team I'm on is a bit biased towards devops, which is a change though not really my usual thing. But as it happens, I had to do a lot of the same stuff myself on the doomed project, so I should be OK, and if anything it'll be pretty easy work compared to that nonsense as most of it is quite straightforward. The interesting bit comes when things go wrong and nobody can work out why, but I enjoy investigating stuff like that so I'm hoping it happens a lot

[NickFitz]

Lunch: pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

Very rainy morning, and it's not stopping yet

There's a weekly (or maybe fortnightly?) team retrospective meeting shortly, so I'll be able to find out who I'll be working with

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Dull. Wet. Raining. Currently 12 degrees with a high of 14 expected. Rain set to continue for the rest of the day. Barometer up a bit to 1005 mBar.

In the office today. A requirement I only found out yesterday lunchtime because I logged in to see what time I needed to be online today for a meeting. That meeting got brought forward half an hour so I'd have missed it if I was only to work the half day I'd originally planned. I do like that consultancyCo assume I check emails when I'm not working.

[NickFitz]

The new team has finally realised that I'm around and have nothing else to do. So now I'm shadowing somebody in a meeting with another team to get an idea of the various things "we" deal with, pending a more formal induction this afternoon

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning.

Tuesday.

Didn't wake at 06:05, woke at 04:44 instead & read book for half an hour.

Grey.

Sunless.

Misty.

Damp.

Dreary.

Chilly in here at 15 deg, 16 deg in the kitchen, 13.5 deg in the leanto.

1007 mBar, 29.7366 in Hg, 755.3 Torr, 14.6 psi, (up from 1006 last night), 76% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 18th of November 2019 it was sunny, WTFH was getting the hot water fixed, I was in with the hoi polloi where some poor sod was being taught how to jobsearch on line on instructions from JobCentre+.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in wan sunshine.

Them next door (the idle ones) have someone in fixing sommat. Well there's a thing.

More bricks removed from next door's skip.

Lunch: there was.

Entertainment: book. Finished Honourable Skoolboy at last, thank feck.

Freecell score: 100%, running average: 77%.

Tea: breaded fish of some kind (Morrisons) with baked beans etc. Nice enough.

Entertainment: book.

Digging for Britain: last 20 mins.

Book.

Found out that "Dalek I loved you" wasn't the book I thought it was, the latter being one about some chap who did electronics at City Uni, London, then went to work for the Beeb (or somewhere similar). I've probly already got shot of that one. Not sure the Dalek one is worth reading again.

[WTFH]

Morning all CBS, etc.
Dog walked, wife still away, car booked in for a service, hotel booked for later this week, been a busy morning so far.
