Many meetings this morning then off this afternoon. Firstly to get the greys painted over and then to take yea olde jalopy to Rickmansworth / Croxley Green way for it to have a very expensive make over for the next couple of weeks.

Morning denizens

Foggy out

Leaving aside that subjective observation in favour of real data: it's already 12°C and will be 17° for much of the afternoon. The barometers are up to 1021/1029mB. And it's expected to remain cloudy all day, but not particularly windy

I've just heard the trundling of bins beneath my window as the management company person arrives in search of rubbish. After a brief moment of panic, I remembered that I put the recycling out on Monday and the black bag on Wednesday, so there's nothing for them here today

And while I was in the shower, I recollected that I recently booked the week after next off in order to use up some of my accumulated "annual leave" which means that this time next week, I'll be on holiday! Can't wait

In Random Acts of Senseless Violence, the diarist is becoming more streetwise in the company of her new friends from the block. A few blocks away in Harlem, the army is on the streets trying to quell the rioting. And the President has been killed, again; Presidents aren't lasting long in those troubled times

I'm off to Big Sainsbury's in the morning, for it is Viz week!

Goodnight all

Tea: pork chow mein

This was made using belly pork out of the freezer, which made room for some stuff out of the old freezer. I'm not sure what's going on with the latter. I turned it off overnight in the hope that a rest might reset something, then turned it on again this morning, and although it hasn't run properly, it was quietly making noises and doing something. I checked the thermometer I keep in one of the drawers at lunchtime when moving as much as would fit in the other one, then checked it again a couple of hours later, and it had gone down about two degrees! So it's making some kind of attempt to freeze, but obviously not finding it easy. It'd help if it can limp along for a little bit longer, but I'm not sure it's viable

That's another week done! Timesheet was submitted earlier and has already been authorised, so the weekend may definitely commence

This morning mainly involved some rather dull stuff about upgrading a bunch of things to the latest version of something or other

And this afternoon there was a long discussion about using GitHub Actions for a bunch of stuff I don't work on

With that out of the way and only a couple of hours left, I set to work dealing with the out-of-date mandatory training stuff. Not very interesting, but I suppose it has to be done. I got about halfway through it

Old lady Mahjong thing this morning, loony lady 2 later. Got to get house a bit cleaner for my nephew visit tomorrow.

Some nice people about. I asked the builders filling a skip up the road if I could pay them to take away two sacks of plasterboard, as my local tip won't take it, and they insisted on doing it for free.

I like that - it's good to find people with a little courtesy and consideration for others isn't it?

Curry from the local Indian community centre for lunch. Toothsome!
