Tea has been a sausage casserole that I made up as I went along, with herby dumplings. It turned out very nicely, though I still haven't quite got the knack of making dumplings

To go with this, a bit of NEW! Traffic Cops

Another day done! Only three more until my break

This afternoon was only marginally productive as the other dev has Vodafone broadband, and thus has had no broadband at all for the last couple of hours. I was looking at some tests that need adjusting in light of a new feature we're adding, but I don't really understand them very well without her guidance so although I got some stuff done, I'm still not sure it's right

Thanks Nick - that'll be some tedium relieved later!

Afternoon all.

Rather grey and dull here today. I have a chronic dose of CBA-itis too - luckily I'm helping out in an interview later which will kill some time.

Sausage rolls and reduced chocolate mousse from Asda for lunch. That did nicely!

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been leftover belly pork bits in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

There was an entire star anise from roasting still stuck to the pork, which I didn't notice and chewed down on. So everything tastes a bit aniseedy now

Morning

maybe your carpet's taking over your reality??

It's the Trumpian takeover of CUK.

Morning.

Monday apparently.

Dry.

Grey.

Sunless.

Chilly in here at 16.7 deg, 16.5 in the kitchen, 15 in the leanto, 13 in the saltinghouse.

1024.5 mBar, 30.25 in Hg, 768.44 Torr, 14.859 psi, (down from 1025 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 23rd of February 2020 AndyGarbs and BR14 popped in, my garage & next door's shed were both very wet, LM was in a washing frenzy, NF enjoyed his latest batch of zingy soup, and I contemplated getting rid of The Corolla (Needless to say: it's still there), and spent some happy hours collecting cans and bottles on the road up to the res, this being just before The Trauma of The Leg.

Washing frenzy in progress.

I see that Sounds has been afflicted with entuliptification: what used to be a seamless progression though Infinite Monkey Cage now requires a return to the programme page to continue through the offerings. Brilliant. Though the floating player thing does do that, it gets a bit confusing since it points to the original ep when playing the next.

Freecell score: 93%, running average: 84%.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Monday links.

Walk (towpath, unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom, though I did see a vague shadow at one point & picked up an accessory for my left shoe at another.

Now getting outside a mug of mediocre but consistent coffee.

Washing frenzy complete.

Tea: chicken in white sauce etc. It was rather nice today.

Entertainment: PM.

"Land (2021)".

Oak Island nutjobbery.

NCIS Origins S1 E1. I somehow doubt I'll be watching much of this. It's the Gibbs Gibbs Gibbs/Mike Franks origin story. Probably with actors who look nothing like them.

Goodnight all :weave:

It's a grey and misty morning out; everywhere looks as damp as if it had been drizzling all night, but it hasn't. The temperature is, and will be, roughly in the now-standard range: currently 10°C, aiming for 16° for a brief period this afternoon. The barometers are tiptoeing down at 1019/1027mB

Morning all

Sun on its way up, cloudy. Currently 13 degr6with a high of 16 expected.Low chance of precipitation. Barometer down to 1029 mBar.

Sunrise 07:22; Sunset 18:12 BST

On my way to the office for a day of sitting in a meeting room.

[NickFitz]

I finished Random Acts of Senseless Violence. It's very good. Jack Womack has written four other books set in the same future at different times; this is the "first" one, though not the first to be written. I'll give the others a go, though a lot of people seem to think this is the best of the series

And then I started Ossian's Ride by Fred Hoyle. I've seen this described as science fiction written in the style of John Buchan, and from the first few chapters, that seems fair. The story belts along at a good pace though

Monday tomorrow. Oh well, at least I'm off for ten days after Thursday

Goodnight all :weave:

[ladymuck]

The drive to and fro was uneventful. The Zipcar had petrol and I could have gotten away with not topping it up but I was feeling kind and had enough time to leave it full for the next person.

I have to into the office tomorrow for an all day workshop.

[NickFitz]

Leftovers from last night for tea

This was accompanied by a further episode of Netflix's Critical: Between Life and Death. Only one more left now

[xoggoth]
