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

[NickFitz]

Are you all retired or something?

Not all

[NickFitz]

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

[NickFitz]

Lunch: pork bap (wholemeal) with apple sauce, and a bag of plain crisps

Morning all

Cloudy and windy. My weather app says 7 mph winds, observation says it's more like a moderate breeze, per the Beaufort scale, and so nearer 13+ mph. Currently 19 degrees with a high of 22 expected. Barometer up to 1025 mBar.

Sunrise 08:10; Sunset 18:25

Gusts at the outdoor section of the breakfast area resulted in a cascade of glasses and cups all being blown off a table. We weren't affected but another couple were quite lucky not to be covered in glass and coffee.

Yesterday we had a lazy day, sitting out in the sunshine, relaxing. We were going to take a stroll into town but will see if it brightens up a bit

[WTFH]

Morning all
Foggy out - could hardly see more than 10 metres when out earlier, which made for an interesting walk, particularly after my head torch died, and then the clip on MMtSH's light broke. I knew it was about to go so had ordered a screw carabiner to replace it, which arrived a few minutes ago.
Made it home, my torch is now on charge and his is now mended.
Fog is lifting slightly and I can now see the bottom of our drive.

Darn group walk this morning. I've been asked to lead it as usual lady on holiday. Prepare for news of bunch of old farts gone missing in Sussex.

Morning denizens

Looks like it's a bit of a cloudy start making it a bit darker than it needs to be, really. Mild though, being 7°C and climbing to 9° later; the barometers are trivially up at 1021/1029mB

[NickFitz]

Tonight's viewing was an episode of the BBC thing with Hannah Fry (can't remember the series title) explaining how Amazon's Alexa works, with reference to SIGSALY, Hedy Lamarr, Jack Kilby, and others

Later, I started reading Apollo 13 by Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger. I wonder if dumb Hollywood execs insisted the ending be changed when it was made into a film?

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Chicken and chips for tea

[WTFH]

With all the stuff going on on this site at the minute, I thought I would share something which has made me smile for a couple of months.
If you go to the main Forums section and look down to the Welcome section, the last thread/poster is:

How do I delete my account by NLUK

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been Scotch broth and a bit of wholemeal

Having to get through the soup over the last few days as I made too much stuff that wanted space in the freezer at the end of last week

Morning all late checkin from me today, other things distracted me, like the stunning sunrise while out walking. Blue skies and sunny here now, but quite chilly in the shade, almost like it's January or something. The back of the house is warming up nicely in the sun, in fact thinking about it, I might de-camp to the dining table this afternoon for the sunshine and warmth, compared to my north-east facing office.
