Tea has been the belly pork braised in cider that I forgot to make yesterday, with chips

Current watching part two of the Jimmy Savile thing

OM.

Another day done! Only seventeen to go!

In a gap between meetings, I finally tracked down my parcel - it was in the nearest hallway of the adjacent block, for no good reason

In there was qntm’s rewrite of There is No Antimemetics Division, published yesterday. He got a deal with an imprint of Penguin Random House last year, so he’s been able to rework it with the input of a professional editor. So that’s something to look forward to once I’ve read the last two Jack Womack books

Walk with ll3 followed by coffee. Nice & sunny and paths not half as muddy as I had feared.

All meetings done. Brain fried.

Now to get some work done

Pukka sausage roll for lunch

Too many meetings this morning

But there’s more to come this afternoon!

Yesterday’s missing Amazon parcel still hasn’t reappeared. I’ll have to go round the other blocks checking if it’s been left in any of them. It was supposedly delivered around 13:30 so once the mandatory 24 hour wait is up, I can report it vanished and get them to send out a replacement

Meanwhile, the rain that was supposed to continue has stopped instead. I suppose there may be showers but though it’s still cloudy, it doesn’t look too likely to restart at the moment

Morning.

Wednesday apparently.

Unpleasant dream at 04:30 dispelled by reading more book for 4 pages then returning to nod.

Grey. (The weather not the dream).

Sunless.

Damply miserable but no water in next door's garden.

Chilly in here at 17.2 deg, 16.5 in the kitchen, 15 in the leanto.

995 mBar, 29.38 in Hg, 746.3 Torr, 14.43 psi, (up from 994 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 29th of February 2020 BR14 and Brillo popped in, LM popped out to the storage unit, scruff had tea, NF thought it was a bit cold out for a trip to the pub, and my bol managed to stick to the pan whilst "simmering".

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: dead people on Everest. I'd rather read a book than pay £30k. An expensive way to die.

Feck me it's a miserable day & no mistake.

Book. Approaching the end of this book.

Sky Arts: Cold War Films (E2 of 3) "duck & cover", "Failsafe", "7 Days in May", "Doctor Strangelove", "On the Beach".

Crash Detectives.

Last half of the Nazi programme.

David Jason: Secret Service. E2

Alba: Nuclear tesing in the Artic: late this week, so:

U+something: Elementary S1 E2.

Morning all

Started off cloudy now looking much brighter with some wispy fluff. Damp. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 16 expected. Cloud cover set to return with a risk of rain. Barometer remains at 1004 mBar.

Sunrise 07:14; Sunset 16:16 GMT

Another busy day beckons. Five meetings in the diary. Four of which are back to back between 1030 and 1330. Then a half hour break before a 2 hour meeting to finish me off. Hurray.

[WTFH]

Morning all
Wet and wild last night. Very stormy. Chairs blew over on our main deck. a plastic plant pot blew off the top of a wooden water butt and smashed.
But by the time we went out for a walk earlier, it was 14C with gentle rain and barely a breeze.

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

After a night when it has, I think, rained constantly, it’s a rainy start to the day with no signs of letting up soon. The forecast suggests it’s likely to continue raining until late afternoon! it’s a touch milder, though the current 13°C “feels like” 9°, and the high will only be 14°. The barometers are down very slightly at 990/997mB

[NickFitz]

I finished part one of the Savile documentary. All this part really does is give a history of his career without going into anything much about what came out later, and already the only conclusion you can draw is that he has to be a wrong 'un. Looking forward to part two where the full scale of the horror is revealed

And then I finished Terraplane; another good one! Next up is Elvissey (fourth written, fifth in timeline)

Tomorrow will be a day of many meetings, for it is the end of the sprint and start of a new one. And I’ve just remembered I’m on the hook to present something at “Show & Tell” at 9:30. There isn’t really much to show, or indeed tell, but I daresay I’ll think of something

Goodnight all

[xoggoth]

Couldn't finish me toothpaste inspection today as the battery on me phone ran out. Damn Google with their stupid update that reduced battery life.

Date with ll3 tomorrow.

[NickFitz]

Tea has been a nice fry-up

To go with this, I started watching Netflix’s documentary Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story. Never did like that guy

[ladymuck]

Afternoon all

I have no idea what the outside world looked like today. My app says cloudy and possibly wet. Currently 14 degrees ('feels like' 12) and that was the high for the day. Rain expected. Barometer down a bit to 1004 mBar.

Sunrise 07:13; Sunset 16:17 GMT

Very busy day at the coalface today. Non-stop across two and a half clients (the half being the ISPE NED election gubbins I do every year and only took up an hour of my day today).

HWMBO has made me a G&T, as is his duty.

Clocking off very soon as I cannae do nae more!
