Now got it working with a random arrangement of different emojis
No further telly because clearly rings of emojis are a more important way of wasting time. But I did read a few more pages of Julia
Early night now, as I'll probably be woken early by that there sunlight again
Goodnight all

Furthermore, some bits ofmucking arounddiligent experimentation with SceneKit have been accomplished, leading to this veritable masterpiece

Lunch: leftover pork cutlet on a wholemeal bap with apple sauce, and a bag of plain crisps
Quite Simpsonesque out now, though still a bit of a breeze judging by the shimmying of the foliage

Morning all
Bright but cloudy. Dry. Breezy but less enthusiastic than yesterday. Currently 11 degrees with a high of 13 expected. Barometer up to 1013 mBar.
Tired. I might expend a bit of energy to see if I can get an appointment with the GP.

Morning.
Damp.
Raining.
Sunny.
Blue sky in parts.
Chilly in here at 13.5 deg, 12.5 deg in the kitchen, 13 deg in the leanto.
1013 mBar, 29.913 in Hg, 759.8 Torr, 14.692 psi, (up from 1010 last night), 77% RH (GDR hair), 69% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 18th of September 2019 there was gardening, a sausage sandwich lunch for NF, mention of Space Shuttles, the iApple II, bubble memory, some PDP thing on a chip, plus the 8086.
The Revox A700 has departed hence along with a Ferrograph RTS2: in return: £250.
The A700 was £700 back in 1977 so I made a bit of a loss on that.
Lunch: beans on toast etc.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked.
Entertainment: Veronica Mars S1 E11 "Silence of the Lamb". The dirt on parents one with Aaron Paul as a dodgy videographer. He didn't say "Magnets!".
Tea: breaded cod (or haddock) etc.
Entertainment: The Mentalist S2 E14 "Blood in, Blood out". The Cho as a gang member one.
Forgot about Scotland Yard "Murder Anonymous". The blindman who killed his wife's lover.
Maigret's Failure 2003 S12 E3. The one where the chap sending himself anonymous threatening letters gets offed whilst in police protection.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Yesterday, 22:15.

Morning all
Pleasant walk earlier, 9.18km with the sun rising and no breeze.
Oil has been delivered, I left the tank unlocked and came back to find the ticket in the letterbox. The Wife slept through it.

Morning denizens
We're back then?
Looks like I'll be devoting some of my time off next week to investigating forum-related stuff, though frankly I think this version of the forum software is beyond salvaging. I mean, the underlying architecture was created something like fifteen years ago and despite massive increases in computational power over that time, it actually performs worse without any fundamental changes having happened. It's simply incapable of scaling; it just gets more bogged down as the number of posts in the database increases
Anyway: it was a fairly sunny start this morning after a rainy, blustery night - but that was about thirty minutes ago, during which time it's turned cloudy again. Still a bit on the breezy side too, though not as much as it was. Currently 7° and maybe getting to 11°, so Fool's Spring appears to be over; the barometers are back up a bit at 999/1007mB
For completeness: last night's tea was bol with twirly pasta rather than spag, for a change. Turns out a given weight of dry pasta feels more filling than the same weight of dry spag once cooked and eaten, so I'll have to remember not to make quite as much next time
That was accompanied by an old episode of Police Interceptors, after which I read some more of Julia in which she's finally started her relationship with Winston

It came over a bit dark and threatening looking so I brought in the bed linen quick, finishing just as an unscheduled flurry of hail stones came down.
It's now gone back to being sunny but I'm not putting things back out again, they're mostly dry anyway and just need the chill taken out before I put them away.
I didn't get the towels out on the line but that was always a stretch target.

The rain did indeed stop and the sun came out. Earlier than forecast too.
As that coincided with the bed linen wash finishing, I have put it all out on the line for a darn good blow about.
I may get the towels done too.
EDIT: the fitted sheet had such a good blow about that it detached itself from the washing line. Fortunately landed somewhere that didn't render it dirty and has now been (hopefully) more securely reattached.Last edited by ladymuck; 15 April 2024, 12:53.

Lunch: leftover Indian bits from Saturday
It's been very variable this morning, going from sunny to downpour and back again several times. Not looking too bad at the moment, though it's pretty breezy

Morning all
Got caught in a shower on our walk, but were back home before the heavy rain started, now blowing a bit of a hooley out there, although the sky is blue
