    Afternoon all

    Sunny with fluffy lumps. Quite a breeze about. Currently 18 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer up a snatch to 1028 mBar.

    The day started off with a major incident. Once again, someone upstream tinkers with data feeds, breaks stuff and then I get complaints about reports being rubbish. The messenger is always the one to get shot.

    We only have a go-live first thing in the morning, we didn't want to iron the last wrinkles and validate data. No, we wanted to spend our morning validating that the fix of the broken thing is correct.

    HWMBO has gone off to talk at people about TOGAF for a few days. Poor souls.

    Disposition less so.

    Season 2 of "Hunters" is as good as the first and I would heartly recommend it.

    Back to square one RE car shopping. I walked away from one deal where they dropped the "retailer contribution" without warning. I can't be doing with this sort of thing even if I quite like the car. Bugger them.

    Off to sit in the garden for a bit with a cup of tea.
    Probably old news that you already know.

    Morning.

    Tuesday.

    Cool in here at 19.1 deg, 20.5 deg in the kitchen, 18 deg in the leanto, 14.8 deg in the saltinghouse.

    1024 mBar, 30.238 in Hg, 768.1 Torr, 14.852 psi, (up from 1023 last night), 73% RH (GDR hair), 63% RH (Lidl electric).

    Stuff in the WM including some smalls.

    Meanwhile on the 11th of June 2019 Xogg was further investigating family trees whilst my new neighbours were having traumas (undefined) & the idea it was A Fecking Bad Idea to sell them the house was becoming confirmed.

    Stuff, including some smalls, out of the WM & pegged out on the line. I wonder if that puffer jacket will survive.

    Sheets in the WM. Mattress airing. Must remember to reassemble bed before bedtime to avoid shock & awe.

    Entertainment: thing at 09:45 about disease, death, destruction & similar jollities.

    Sheets out of the WM & pegged out on the line.

    More stuff in the WM including the oven gloves and some gardening stuff.

    Lunch: baked potato with cheese and baked beans, a yog, bramble jelly and marmalade on slices of toast, 0.91*1.55 pints of good Glengettie tea.

    Stuff from the WM pegged out on the line.

    And finally: the woolly jumpers in the WM.

    Morning denizens

    Grey start out, though it may brighten up a little later. Currently 11°C, and only getting to 18° later this afternoon. Barometers are up a bit more at 1020/1028mB

    No car today, though they did repeat a huge number of gold digger episodes. This caused some confusion when the 7pm broadcast reverted to the different series they were already repeating

    And the new gold diggers episode later on included a new team, with a guy who scuba dives into water holes with an underwater detector

    After which it was time to read another chapter of Attack Warning Red!

    Early night now, as it's back to the fray tomorrow

    Goodnight all

    The pork with lime, honey and mustard was nice enough (accompanied by chips). Could have done with a little less lime, perhaps. But it was tasty, and it made a change

    Leftovers for lunch: a little bit of lamb and gravy plus one small roast spud from last night's roast, plus a bit of kebab from Saturday night. Something of a contrast, but it's all lamb

    Speaking of cooking, I've just made a Dijon mustard, honey, and lime marinade for a pork tenderloin fillet. That's now sitting in the fridge, marinading

    Proper limes too! Three of them, zested and the juice extracted
