    This evening's car was a Mustang brought over from the USA, but I was in the kitchen when they got around to attaching a British number plate to it, if they did

    And it's a new season of the gold diggers, with some getting off to a very good start

    And later, a new episode of Traffic Cops

    Then I started reading The Power by Naomi Alderman, in which women gain the power to hurt or even kill men by producing electricity from their hands. It's very good; shortly appearing on Prime as a major TV series, written by the author

    It's very windy out, with occasional rain too I think

    Goodnight all

    Sourdough loaf out of the oven, and now TFBSZ.

    90 mins of time wasted on a call to talk about report delivery where the so-called focus was on helping the team but it really was to a thinly-veiled attempt at checking up on progress. I tried to get the developers out of it but the CTO insisted on their attendance.

    Lunch was some takeaway dinner left overs.

    The odd creature I saw outside a couple of weeks ago is back! This time I was able to get the binoculars on it and confirm that yes, it is a fox. Its tail is missing, its nearside back leg is useless and maybe shorter than it should be, as it dangles a couple of inches above the ground; and there's a large area of missing fur on its nearside shoulder and another near the middle of that side, as well as around its rump. So I think it's been run over and grievously injured some time in the past, yet managed to survive and is still out there going about its business

    It's also chowing down on what looks like a bunch of dog treats or something scattered on the grass next to the second entrance of the block opposite, so somebody over there must be looking out for it - and probably for any rats that fancy its leftovers

    Morning denizens

    Cloudy start after quite heavy rain late last night, but it already seems to be brightening up a little as some gaps turn up here and there. It's expected to be quite breezy throughout the day though. Currently 10°C, aiming for 14°, and the barometers are down at 994/1002mB

    Feeling perhaps marginally better, though I haven't really done anything yet. My nose seems a bit bunged up
