    I’m hoping there’s another one. That lead actor - Daniel Craig - does a great southern drawl. A few more roles for him and he might become well known.
    I remember that. I think there was a sequel mooted at some point?

    HWMBO and I have had a very nice, relaxing day. Topped off with a lovely dinner at a place over the road from the hotel that looks, on paper, to be a potentially dodgy tourist trap but actually turned out to do delicious food with a great choice of wine.

    Tea: pork cutlet with chips and beans

    This was accompanied by the latest Inside the Factory which revealed the dark magic behind Quavers, along with some interesting side quests to do with Bombay mix, filmed at a local factory over the road from the back of B&Q, and other snack-related topics

    Giving up with the little writing group, just me and other bloke there again.

    Bing are retiring the Bing maps API at end of June, was going to do the migration to Azure Maps but it won't have OS maps so no point for us walky people. Still, can do fair amount of stuff with Garmin Basecamp. Another annoying technical thing is a Google update for my Pixel 4a which, according to some comments, renders it practically useless. Darn good thing I had mine in developer mode with updates turned off.

    Turning a bit foggy here

    I heard the lift going earlier, so an engineer must have been! No idea if they've managed to fix it, mind. Nobody seems to have used it since, but a lot of people use the stairs anyway most of the time, so it isn't unusual to only hear it a couple of times a day.

    Morning all

    Cloudy but much less windy than yesterday. The sun is due to make more of an appearance this afternoon. Currently 19 degrees with a high of 21 expected. Barometer up to 1028 mBar.

    Sunrise 08:10; Sunset 18:26

    We had a lovely day yesterday; mooched about the town, bought swimming costumes. Then headed back there in the evening for a fantastic dinner.

    Have had a couple of interesting approaches on Linkedin which I will be properly following up next week.

    Fog/low cloud was a lot thicker this morning, to the point that the ground was wet, and the best way to use my head torch was carrying it at waist level.
    Walk has been walked. The sun is burning off the fog.

    If there's anything else on this evening I ain't found it though the fright haired Swiss chap is on at 21:00 waffling on endlessly about Roswell. Apparently there's a rock.

    Can you give up the sauce on ITV.

    Roswell nonsense.

    Cathedral thing on 5+1.

    Morning denizens

    Clear sky, peach coloured to the east and with a just-past-full moon still quite high in the west, so probably a sunny day once the sun gets up. Chilly but not frosty at 1°C, only reaching 6° later. The barometers are steady at 1021/1029mB

    I watched a new episode of Traffic Cops earlier. This series seems inordinately long; I wonder if they had loads on hold because of delays in the courts, so now they're just going to keep pumping them out until the backlog is cleared

    I've also found time for some more playing around with bits of GameplayKit, in particular the Entity-Component stuff. I've reached the point with that where it's suddenly gelled, and as a result I'm finding loads of stuff that seemed as if it would be pretty complicated has become much simpler

    And I've read a bit more of Apollo 13 in which they've stirred the tanks as requested, but it doesn't seem to have worked out as planned

    Friday-equivalent Thursday tomorrow!

    Goodnight all

    Tea has been sausages with chips and beans

    The cloud cleared a bit later in the day, but that means it'll get a bit colder tonight. Only down to 1° though, so not too bad
