Got the registration through for the new car, but no confirmation on when it will be ready.

The dodgy Swiss consultancyCo say they want me for 20h a week next year. New client meeting tomorrow morning to discuss that opportunity. Other gig is amenable to me dropping to 3 days a week next year so it could be possible to juggle three gigs if I wanted to be greedy.

Morning.

Wednesday.

Damp.

Grey.

Blue sky in parts.

Sunless.

Chilly in here at 15.1 deg, 15 in the kitchen, 13 in the leanto.

1007 mBar, 27.74 in Hg, 755.3 Torr, 14.6 psi, (up from 1000 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 5th of March 2020 NF was contemplating visiting the market after dropping the car off, Brillo popped in, I watched "Hang 'em High", NF trundled the bins, LM didn't.

Partial washing frenzy in progress. I note it's getting darker & darker so it'll be in the TD shortly.

Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away: enlivened by the bottle of milk leaking in my back pack thusly explaining why my leg seemed wet & getting wetter. Not best pleased.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: someone waffling on about bog bodies.

Morning all
CBS, etc, but warm (11C) with no breeze.Even though the skies were clear, there was still a minute or two of precipitation on our walk.

Morning denizens

It’s a mostly clear sky out so likely to be sunny later if it holds up, but it’s pretty windy too. Not quite as mild either: currently 9°C (“feels like” 1°) with a high of just 11°, which isn’t bad for the time of year but isn’t as warm as it has been. The barometers are bouncing back though, at 997/1005mB

Tonight’s viewing was E1 of The Man in the Mask: An Orkney Murder on iPlayer

And in the GSG 9 book, they’ve finally got an opportunity to put their training into practice as they prepare to storm a hijacked Lufthansa airliner at Mogadishu airport

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been a pork cutlet with fried mashed potato cakes and beans

I’m not sure if the cakes count as tattie scones, but they were very nice. Enough left for another meal too, so I might freeze them

[NickFitz]

Another day done, and only two more to go this year!

I managed to complete the stuff I was hoping to get done today, despite the people wittering on about stuff all the way from Newcastle

Because of that, our sprint changeover meetings (retrospective, backlog refinement, planning) have been pushed back to Thursday. So I’ll spend much of that day involved in planning for a sprint for which I won’t be present

Then again, the other dev is taking several extra days off here and there in the run-up to Christmas too. So I don’t think there'll actually be much to plan for

Afternoon all,

Temperature 12°C
Humidity 88%
Pressure 999 hPa
Visibility: 5000 m
Broken clouds at a height of 2600 ft, Towering cumulus.
Broken clouds at a height of 3900 ft
light rain showers

Not the nicest out there to be honest.

Went the back roads and it took and extra 5 minutes going, and 10 coming back

A very late lunch today was a fish finger sandwich.

I really ought to make some tartare sauce but the mayonnaise and hot sauce mix did well enough.

[WTFH]

Have to go and pick The Wife up from the train. Main road is flooded. The "locals" diversion is a single track road with no passing places. Those same lanes will be full of ladies in SUVs going to pick up their children from school. I'm guessing a 10 minute journey will take half an hour.

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a roast pork bap (wholemeal) with apple sauce

I finally used up a bit of roast pork that was lost at the bottom of the freezer for who knows how long, but I daresay it’ll be fine

Meanwhile at ClientGov, today is the quarterly portfolio planning meeting, which is happening at the Newcastle office. I’m not there, obviously, but am apparently supposed to observe activities remotely. So I’ve been working as usual this morning while the sound of various people talking about metrics and goals leaks out of the government MacBook Pro next to me, and will be doing the same this afternoon

Morning all

Dull. Damp. Some precipitation ongoing. Currently 13 degrees ('feels like' 11) with a high of 14 expected. Rain expected all day. Barometer down to 1004 mbar.

Sunrise 07:55; Sunset 15:52 GMT

Lots of meetings today. Although the first one has been postponed to Friday afternoon.

Currently watching Only Connect.

It was a good result!
