13:51 is practically 17:00 so I thought it was worth my while to go and fill out my timesheet for the week.
Only to discover that I filled it out on Tuesday.

Well if we are honest with ourselves there is very little to distinguish between:
13:51 is practically 17:00 so I thought it was worth my while to go and fill out my timesheet for the week.
&
Tuesday is practically Friday so I thought it was worth my while to go and fill out my timesheet for the week.

You might as well fill in for next week while you are there?

Lunch: a Pukka steak slice

I had one that Needed to be Eaten™ within the next couple of days, but also got some more today because they were on offer. Like an idiot, I accidentally use done of today's

Oh well, I'll just have to have the other one tomorrow or Sunday

[WTFH]

Normally my eldest brother in law does the gammon for Christmas, but this year it's my turn. I'm thinking whiskey & coke, but has anyone got any good recipes that they've used?

[NickFitz]

That should read:

Both M&S and Sainsbury's were busy…

but the editing bug has hit me. Ah well, it gives me a post to investigate once I have my access to the live DB restored

[NickFitz]

Shopping done!

Both M&S were busy, as expected, but manageably so. No masks but mine, as usual

I think that's almost all my Christmas-present-shopping sorted out now. It helps that my lack of knowledge of what anybody wants means they're all getting the same thing (Amazon gift card and a moderately fancy box of chocolates), and also that with the nieces going elsewhere for the occasion, I need to have theirs sorted out for tomorrow

Speaking of which, as I'm heading south for lunch tomorrow, I checked the car's tyre pressures. Due to the cold and Boyle's gas law, they all needed a few extra PSI in them, as the air I had generously provided when I last checked (probably in early autumn) was no longer occupying the volume it used to. Now that the season of having to drive in the cold to visit people draws on, it's worth a check

Morning.

Friday apparently.

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

Cold in here at 10.7 deg, 8.5 deg in the kitchen, 6.5 deg in the leanto, 1 deg in the saltinghouse.

1007 mBar, 29.736693 in Hg, 755.312 14.6 Torr, psi, (up from 1003 last night), 71% RH (GDR hair), 57% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 1st of August 2019 LM had an exam to take, WTFH was walking someone else's dog, and I extracted what I thought was chilli con carne out of the freezer but it turned out to be bol, so it was spag bol for tea instead.


Walk (abbreviated) walked in the bracing cold.

Put proper gloves on today.

The ponds are freezing over early this year, don't think I've ever noticed ice on them this early in December. Swans are pissed off.

Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

Entertainment: whatever isn't Y&Y waffling on about Angry Black Women. <click>

Morning denizens

Frosty start again, but this time it's a grey, cloudy one too. Currently -1°C and not getting any higher than 2°, but no snow and the like expected. The barometers are up a bit at 997/1005mB

A good night's sleep was had. I think I awoke for some reason around half four, and then again a little after seven, but neither of these interstices of consciousness interfered much with the important business of snoozing

Get this coffee down me and it's off to the shops, which are probably already unpleasantly busy given the time of year

[WTFH]

Morning all
Very thin cloud but mostly clear skies, and quite a hard frost.
TFIF.

Morning all, local time 0935

Cloudy start with sunshine expected to poke it's way through. Dry. Currently 4 degrees with a high of 13 expected.

Had a good meal out at a local restaurant last night. More than enough food plus wine and a couple of glasses of rakia for about £35 a head. Just about finished work in time to not be late for our booking

[WTFH]

‘Kin ell. Sent an email to someone I used to know years ago. He taught me how to mount ski bindings, how to service skis, and lots of other things. I used to help him out in his shop at weekends when they were busy, must be 30 years ago now.
We met up every few years when I was back home, and always exchanged Christmas cards - with genuine messages in them.
I got an email from his son earlier to say that he died 2 years ago.

Roy, RIP.

[NickFitz]

Early night now, in order to make the most of tomorrow - well, actually to sleep as long as possible

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea: ribs and chips, being some Sainsbury's ribs described as having a "sweet and spicy glaze". Very nice, as it turned out

Accompanied by an old episode of Police Interceptors

Day off tomorrow, but I might still get an early night as I need to go shopping. One wild notion is to head off to Sainsbury's before the rush hour has started. I want to go to M&S as well, so maybe by the time I've done both shops, which are close enough that I don't even need to drive between them, the traffic will have dispersed again. But I'll probably just have a lie-in and head over there mid-morning

Morning all, Sofia calling, local time 0835

Hitchiked in Bulgaria in my 20s, part of USSR then. The thing I remember most about Sofia was when I was in my sleeping bag in a shop doorway. Was very dark and a girl mistook me for a pile of rubbish and peed on my head.

[WTFH]

Important meeting with Max meant we got heavily snowed on.
Now back at my desk warming up.
