The wind has got up here and blown some of the cloud away, so it's sunny from time to time but not unpleasantly warm

Earlier on, I ventured over to the bins with a bag of recycling. Coming back, a recent mystery was explained: why has an electrical contractor's van been showing up outside for the past few days? It turns out he's fixing/maintaining the outside lighting, which consists of lights over the six doorways to the three blocks. I'd vaguely noticed that the ones on the blocks opposite and adjacent were on the last few nights; I believe they're both light and motion sensitive, to keep them off during the day and turn them off after a while if nobody's moving around. But maybe they aren't motion sensitive, and just seemed to be off a lot because they were faulty or broken? Anyway, it was the turn of the light over our front door, so the chap was perched up a ladder doing things to it.
I'm hoping he's also doing the internal lights in the common areas, as they've been bust since late last year, meaning going out of the flat after dark involves moving around in an eerie green glow from the emergency lights. The proper ones are definitely motion sensitive, and it was mildly enjoyable to see each floor lighting up as you reached it when using the stairs
