No more telly this evening, but in Nuclear Accidents the Americans are becoming experts at blowing up reactors with steam explosions. Often this was indeed accidental, but on a few occasions they did it deliberately to demonstrate that some special design feature made such events much less catastrophic. These deliberate ones were invariably vastly worse than anybody had predicted though, so eventually they stopped doing that
Time to see if I can catch up on the sleep I missed last night. I don't think I'll have any trouble nodding off tonight; I'm knackered
Goodnight all

Tea: pork cutlet with chips and beans
Accompanied by E1 of The Fall: Skydive Murder Plot on All4, about the woman whose husband messed up her parachute and reserve a few years back, but who survived falling from 4,000 feet

Links are, finally, up
A ridiculously busy day, which is just what I could have done without after last night's poor sleep
But the project hasn't been cancelled yet, and I managed to find a few minutes to grab a mixed charcuterie butty (wholemeal) at lunchtime

Currently in a big meeting led by the senior tech manager, and I'm beginning to suspect that I'm going to see this project killed in real time

Morning.
Monday.
Grey.
Sunless.
Chilly in here at 17.3 deg, 18 deg in the kitchen, 17 deg in the leanto.
1006 mBar, 29.707 in Hg, 754.56 Torr, 14.59 psi, (up from 1003 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 69% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 10th of October 2019 vwdan was building stuff, WTFH had his stitches out (apart from the one that had fallen out already), whereas I was watching more Jeremiah S2 with Joan of Arcadia thrown in for good measure, and LM detailed more of her ongoing OU course.
Shopping trip to Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.
Lunch: scrambled egg etc.
Entertainment: TWATO. Though "entertainment" is a gross exaggeration regarding TWATO. Then again I'm not actually listening to it, it's just "on" and hasn't gone <click> quite yet but came remarkably close when Farage was on, spewing his lies.
Veronica Mars S3 E11 "Poughkeepsie Tramps & Thieves".
Tea: chicken in white sauce (which managed to explode in the meecro wav ay in spectacular fashion) etc. Nice enough, what was left.
Entertainment: NCIS S20 E21 "Kompromat".Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Yesterday, 18:32.

Morning denizens
Sunny start out, though word is it'll get cloudier, then sunny again towards sunset. Going to be a mild one though: 12°C now, 18° expected. The barometers are creeping up a little at 996/1004mB
I had an atrocious night's sleep. Couldn't get to sleep for ages and, when I did, was repeatedly woken by unsettling dreams. Finally managed maybe a couple of uninterrupted hours before the alarms kicked in, and awoke to find a very itchy lump on my hand where, I assume, some winged creature of the night has feasted upon me

Morning all
Hot and sunny in Italy. Hope the aircon is cranked up in the office.

Tonight's viewing was Trauma Room 1 followed by one new and a couple of old episodes of 24 Hours in A&E. I seem to have reached the pandemic in the latter, judging by the masks and the complete lack of extraneous people wandering or sitting around in the background of the department, so it won't be long before I get to ones I remember and will have to find something else to watch
Monday again tomorrow. Heavy sigh
Goodnight all

I omitted to mention that the bed was stripped and left airing this morning before I went out
It has just been made in the usual JIT delivery fashion.

Evening all
It's been a warm but breezy day with occasional light showers. High of 18. Barometer up to 1008 mBar.
Went to visit Mum as usual today. Then on getting home more packing faffing. My house looks like a veritable bomb site, without the rubble.
The latest Dr Who has been watched. Next week's finale is apparently also being shown in cinemas.
Originally posted by WTFH View PostT5 departures. There’s a gin competition. My flight is full up front and my lack of flying means I have no free lounge access.
I could have guested you into the CCR if I had been flying today. But I wasn't.

After last night's culinary disappointment, I felt the need for a decent takeaway to make up for it and round off the weekend. So tea has been taken away, by me, from the kebab shop. Very nice it was too
There must have been something in the park for Eid, as there were quite a few Muslim families walking back from it to their cars parked in the surrounding streets.
And on the shopping road, I discovered that today was the twice-yearly local fair, when they close the road and have stalls and bands and so on, though not an actual funfair with waltzers and such. This was the fourth one that I've missed since I bought this place and it was over by the time I went out, though I did see them just finishing breaking the stage down and loading it into the van on the road outside the butcher's

I've got a few promotional emails and such about "The big game tonight". I have no idea what they're referring to, but I believe the Association Football people have some kind of contest going on, so it's probably that
