Lunch: a couple of spicy chicken thighs, from the batch I can't remember the seasoning of. Shame - they were nice, so I wouldn't mind making them again
After a morning of many meetings, it'll soon be an afternoon of many meetings. I think I'll just about manage to cram in an hour or two of actually doing stuff, if I try

Nowt on next few days, suppose I can take annoying loony lady 3 out. She seems very isolated.
Bit creepy, hardly ever use facebook, but just had a popup Facebook notification to "friend" someone who's dead! Turns out it's a bloke with same name that I don't know.
Been fannying around using html canvas to make an alternative to Bing Maps API which ends soon. Need it to check photo locations on the map for my council footpath inspections. Almost there.

Morning.
Wednesday. Should have done the washing yesterday.
Grey.
Dark.
Drizzly.
Sunless.
Chilly in here at 16.8 deg, 15.5 in the kitchen, 14 in the leanto.
996 mBar, 29.4 in Hg, 747 Torr, 14.445 psi, (down from 999 last night), 64% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 26th of February 2020 NF found it cold taking the bins out, AndyGarbs got a century, Brillo and BR14 popped in, WTFH had injections from the dental hygienist, much to LM's puzzlement.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: The fishing thing: today: rescuing small boat migrants out of the channel, the RNR and trawler mine sweepers and Q boats.
House roughly vacced, mostly due to boredom.
Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine. Unabbreviated due to a fallen tree on the hill down to the lock, thusly preventing the abbreviation I'd have preferred.
Tea: battered haddock/cod. Nice enough.
Entertainment: PM.
The Nazi programme.

Overcast but dry, and pleasantly warm on our walk, the radar shows that we are in the gap between two weather fronts, so rain is expected later.

Morning denizens
Rainy grey start today, though the wind's eased off. Currently 9°C ("feels like" 6°) with an expected high of just 11°; the barometers are down a bit at 988/996mB. Rain (current likelihood: 100%) will probably peter out towards lunchtime - 55% towards noon, then none in the afternoon

More RealityKit stuff played with this evening
Later, I finished Heathern and moved straight on to Ambient. It's clear that William Gibson was mistaken and this is the third Dryco book (though the first written)
Wednesday tomorrow, and it's sprint end so loads of meetings are scheduled
Goodnight all

Tea has been lamb steaks with chips and beans
I seasoned the steaks with a bit of ras-el-hanout before frying them. Turned out very nice indeed
This was accompanied by more of the Netflix hunt for Bin Laden thing

Another day done
Despite a plethora of meetings, I had about an hour free this afternoon to get some really good work done. Very pleased with it

Actually got some proper wok done this morning
despite the PM.
Lunch was Penne with Pesto and Parmesan, - should Prevent Piss Poor Performance, I hope.

Lunch: roast beef bap (white)
And before that, I popped round to the chemist's for the usual monthly stuff. Quite a nice day in terms of the visuals, but I wore the warm coat because it's pretty chilly too

Morning all
Sunny with high level wisps. Currently 13 degrees ('feels like' 11) and that's the high for the day. Barometer up to 1007 mBar.

I forgot to put the bins out yesterday and only remembered when I heard the racket earlier this morning. There wasn't much to be collected so waiting a fortnight isn't much hardship. However, I do need to sweep up the leaves in the garden and try to remember putting the garden waste bag out next week.
