    "Busy" day today, in the sense of there being meetings but not a lot actually done from my perspective

    I didn't even get time for a proper lunch break! I had to quickly scoff some beef flavoured chipsticks because anything else I had in would have taken too long

    Though I did get long enough in the afternoon to prepare the contents of a shepherds pie; the dish containing it is now in the fridge, as it's much easier to spread the mash on it when it's cold

    Just popped round to the chemist's for the usual monthly stuff, so I can now claim to have exercised

    Arty thing this morning. Karaoke this evening if I can be bothered.

    Afternoon all

    Sunny with occasional lumps of fluff. Currently 19 degrees ('feels like' 24) and that's the high for the day. Barometer up to 1026 mbar.

    Sunrise 07:01; Sunset 18:41 BST

    Busy day. Blood test this morning then meetings.

    Just tried Scrambled Maps again and it's still broken. I checked Chrome and it works so it must be a Firefox update that's borked it. As I refuse to use Chrome, I have let the developer know and hopefully they'll have a fix.

    Morning.

    Tuesday.

    Dry.

    Wanly sunny.

    Quite cloudy & grey in parts.

    Chilly in here at 17.3 deg, 16 in the kitchen, 14.5 in the leanto.

    1020.5 mBar, 30.14 in Hg, 765.4 Torr, 14.8 psi, (unchanged), 59% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 20th of February 2020 xogg (in tree chopping mode), Churchill, scruff, NF, WTFH and me popped in, whilst the library was infested with LEGO(tm) day & full of kids.

    Freecell score: 75%, running average: 84%. Got bored.

    Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the wan sunshine.

    Lunch: brunch.

    Entertainment: Y&Y. 13 o'clock news. TWATO <click>

    Just weighed my collection of radio/tv manuals/datasheet: 55kg. And that's not all of them.

    More potching in the garden with the new toy. It's much easier to use than the big feck off one. And lighter with it.

    Tea: soup etc. Entertainment: 17 o'clock news: PM <click>.

    Morning denizens

    Blue sky with bits of cloud out; possibly a bit of mackerel sky, though I'm not sure about that - the Wikipedia page on cloud types seems a lot more complicated than the Ladybird book about the weather which formed the basis of my knowledge

    Anyway, it's 8°C and expected to reach 18°, which seems reasonable for the end of September, and also likely to be mostly sunny with the cloud increasing a bit this afternoon. The barometers are steady at 1014/1022mB

    In Andromeda Breakthrough, it seems that Andromeda may be able to fulfil her mission (whatever that may be) after all, but it also looks as if climate change might beat her to the punch

    And in my mucking around with RealityKit, I've managed to get it to save a scene to a file. This one is just a random assortment of brightly coloured spheres, cubes, and cylinders scattered across a 100mx100m area, because that was quick and easy to do. And I'm still a bit unclear on the file format it's using. But at least it shows that it's possible to generate stuff and save it, suggesting that I can move on to loading and editing said stuff

    Goodnight all

    I haven't looked yet - I'll be checking it in a few minutes

    Tea has been oniony chicken casserole with chips and peas

    And this was accompanied by yet more fare dodgers. None of them ever seem to come up with anything original. Then again, I suppose of they did, they wouldn't get caught

    Another day done

    There wasn't much going on really. We tidied up a couple of loose ends on the thing we've been doing, then set it loose on a test server for the end users to check. I spent the last hour or so of the day updating the accessibility statement. This was, of course, provided in Word format, so I had to pull all the text out and go through it to manually mark it up as HTML like it was 1997

    It remained fairly bright until around lunchtime, but it's properly clouded over now

    Afternoon all
    ;wave:

    on the last week now, nearly done.
    Kipper with horseradish, bread and butter for lunch.
    nutritious and delicious
    quite balmy out today, too.
    very pleasant.

    Lunch has been a cold sausage bap (white)

    I wasn't going to have sausages for the third day in a row, but they involved minimal effort
