Thanks!

Two gigs now agreed. Both part time but adds up to 7 days a week of billable time.

Heavy rainy stuff, got soaked coming back from Mahjong thing this morning. Darn it, there's a leak in my conservatory roof. Must have been leaking for some time as one of the cushions is going green with algae.

One gig secured for 2026. Waiting on confirmation of a second. I have a hunch the director of ConsultancyCo is out of the office which is annoying as they've also not approved my November invoice for payment and that's due at the end of the month during the company's Christmas shut down.

Morning all

After the storms through the night, it was calm when we went out. next rain due in about half an hour.

Tonight’s viewing started with the second part of 24 Hours in Police Custody. A wretched business all round, and I hope he enjoys spending the rest of his life behind bars, secure in the knowledge that he didn’t even achieve what he set out to do. As for the daughter: well, the CPS made its determination on the evidence. She’ll have to live with whatever she may have done, but at least she won’t have benefited from it

On to tonight’s major motion picture premiere, because I figured it was about time I started taking advantage of having some time off: A Line of Fire (2025). One of those things where a retired special agent gets drawn back in, and why shouldn’t it be? Entertaining stuff, and proof that they still make films that don’t involve superheroes, because he gets punched in the face quite a lot

And then I faced a serious decision. Given that I’ve rewatched the first two Terminator films, should I carry on with the third one, or the third one? I decided to go with the third one: Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) because it’s excellent, and also third

I’ll go back to the other third one another time

Goodnight all

[WTFH]

Blowing an absolute hooley here.

Old fart group walk this morning followed by coffee at pub. Then small book reading thing in afternoon, as usual I hadn't fionished reading read a book. Never find any books that aren't ** these days.

PS My little spider mate Cyril has disappeared. Shall miss him.

[NickFitz]

Tea: pork cutlet, chips and beans

The RAC went away again after spending some time poking about under the bonnet of the sickly black car. And a while later, the car itself was gone; hopefully, it had left under its own power rather than being towed away or anything

Contract negotiations ongoing. Good discussions being had.

Afternoon all

The day started off misty but gave way to just cloud. Currently 8 degrees ('feels like' 6) with a high of 10 expected. Slight chance of rain later. Barometer up to 1014 mBar.

Contract negotiations ongoing. Good discussions being had.

[NickFitz]

Lunch, then, has been a cold roast chicken leg and a bag of crisps

The RAC are outside, ministering to a small black car on the other side of the lawn. I don’t think they really need their flashing orange beacons in this location, but I suppose it’s policy or something <- but orange

[NickFitz]

Shopping done!

Big Sainsbury’s wasn’t too bad, though busier than I would have liked. When leaving, at maybe 11:40 or so, the car park was noticeably emptier than when I arrived! So maybe the trick is to get there around that time, rather than trying to be early

Tins of Quality Street are now competing with unread books to make it impossible to move around the flat. But the tins will be gone by the end of next week (except my one), and there’ll be even more books

I have stuff that Needs To Be Eaten™ for lunch today and tomorrow, so that decision is taken off my hands. This leaves me free to dither over what to have for tea tonight
