I ended up overrunning because I wanted to make sure I’d documented some stuff for the other dev, but I am now done with ClientGov work for 2026!

I thought of doing the shopping, but I think I’ll leave it until tomorrow as I’ve got dinner to cook

Afternoon all,

Wind 10 kt from the South/Southeast
Temperature 12°C
Humidity 82%
Pressure 1014 hPa
Visibility 10 km or more
Scattered clouds at a height of 2600 ft
Broken clouds at a height of 3100 ft
Broken clouds at a height of 4000 ft

Sooo many calls today, largely pointless but meant today's soup was consumed whilst muted in teams meetings.

Morning all

Blue sky. Faint wisps lingering here and there. Currently 12 degrees ('feels like' 10) and that's the high for the day. Barometer up to 1019 mBar.

Sunrise 07:57; Sunset 15:52 GMT

This morning I had a 'sales meeting' with a potential client. Not sure I want the job but it was nice of an ex-client manager to think of me and give me first dibs.

[WTFH]

Morning all
overcast and dry earlier on our walk, now a light drizzle.
Wifi crashed last night and was still down this morning. After a bit of investigating, I discovered the issue was the Devolo Mesh. Somehow it was no longer running on 192.168.x.x but had switched to 169.1.x.x. Give that Devolo is the domain controller, when it screws up, anything on a fixed IP crashes.
Now trying to rebuild the wifi, initially without the mesh.
...and no, I'm not a network engineer, so I may have used the wrong terminology, but I know everything in this house should be on 192.168.

^^^Om.

Morning.

Thursday.

Dry.

Grey.

Hints of wan sun.

Chilly in here at 15 deg, 13 in the kitchen, 12.5 in the leanto, 9 in the saltinghouse.

1011 mBar, 29.85 in Hg, 758.3 Torr, 14.66 psi, (down from 1014 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 5th of March 2020 WTFH arrived on a jet plane at Heathrow, NF was watching a Murder programme, and Brillo popped in a lot.

Washing frenzy in progress.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the thing at 11:45: about the Norse influence on the Shetlands (rather than continuity who implied it was yesterday's epic about bog bodies).

The items requiring the iRon came in off the line, were iRoned, and now reside upstairs airing a bit.

The remaining items came in off the line & met the TD.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the grey gloom. Met a lady who used to work for Siliconix back in the day and confirmed it was she who I thought it was.

Everything out of the TD & airing upstairs: 3/4 of a cup of water out of the TD.

Now getting outside a mug of mediocre but consistent coffee: entertainment: part of a thing about lichen.

Raining.

Tea: beans on toast with scrambled egg. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM <click>

Classic Xmas Movies: Miracle on 34th street.

Classic Xmas Movies: something else, I forget quite what.

Morning denizens

Rosy-fingered dawn out there today, with various wisps and strands of cloud scattered around the horizon, while a higher layer towards the zenith is so thin that the just-past-waning-gibbous moon shines through. It’s 7°C yet “feels like” 1°, with an expected high of 11°, and expected to be a bit breezy with sunny spells. The barometers are decidedly up at 1005/1013mB

My last day of ClientGov work for the year beckons!

[NickFitz]

In Mogadishu, GSG 9 stormed the hijacked airliner and rescued all the hostages with only a few minor injuries. One of the hijackers just about survived. And so the Americans, realising that they wouldn’t have been able to do that, have asked the Germans to help them set up the unit now known as Delta Force

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been lamb chops with the rest of the potato cakes, and beans

This was accompanied by the rest of an episode of Traffic Cops that I started watching a few days ago

[NickFitz]

Another busy day, but just one more to go - this time tomorrow, I’ll be done with ClientGov for the year!

[NickFitz]

Lunch: leftover pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap. Not that different to yesterday’s lunch, but I’m a bit short of lunch stuff again

Quite sunny out, though there seem to be a few more clumps of cloud drifting about

[xoggoth]

No loony ladies today. Really nice day for a wonky. Drop by not loony lady next door before I go.

[Pondlife]

Afternoon All,

Wind 15 kt from the West
Temperature 12°C
Humidity 82%
Pressure 1015 hPa
Visibility 10 km or more
Few clouds at a height of 1900 ft

Should probably start thinking about Christmas shopping at some point.

[WTFH]

Got the registration through for the new car, but no confirmation on when it will be ready.

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Blue sky with wisps scurrying past. Currently 12 degrees ('feels like' 10) with a high of 13 expected. No rain forecast. Barometer up to 1014 mBar.

Sunrise 07:56; Sunset 15:52 GMT

The dodgy Swiss consultancyCo say they want me for 20h a week next year. New client meeting tomorrow morning to discuss that opportunity. Other gig is amenable to me dropping to 3 days a week next year so it could be possible to juggle three gigs if I wanted to be greedy.

Morning.

Wednesday.

Damp.

Grey.

Blue sky in parts.

Sunless.

Chilly in here at 15.1 deg, 15 in the kitchen, 13 in the leanto.

1007 mBar, 27.74 in Hg, 755.3 Torr, 14.6 psi, (up from 1000 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 5th of March 2020 NF was contemplating visiting the market after dropping the car off, Brillo popped in, I watched "Hang 'em High", NF trundled the bins, LM didn't.

Partial washing frenzy in progress. I note it's getting darker & darker so it'll be in the TD shortly.

Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away: enlivened by the bottle of milk leaking in my back pack thusly explaining why my leg seemed wet & getting wetter. Not best pleased.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: someone waffling on about bog bodies.

Shirts in the TD, out of the TD, iRoned & airing upstairs.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine. If I'd known the afternoon would be like this I'd have washed the lot.

Ho hum.

Now getting outside a mug of mediocre but consistent coffee.

Judging by the forecast I should have washed the lot today. .

Tea: Tesco battered haddock. Nice enough.

Entertainment: PM <click>. Discovering Nicole Kidman <click>. Spy thing <click>.

Scotland Yard: "Night plane to Amsterdam (1954)". More of the lugubrious Mr Lustgarten. With a spot appearance by Ewen Solon.

Abandoned Engineering S15. "The Nazi last stand": the Berlin FLAK towers. Uptown theatre Chicago: largest cinema auditorium in the world (of course). Malaysian building: Kelly's Castle: evil Scottish colonialist. Winehaven in San Francisco bay: killed off by Prohibition, requisitioned by the US Navy in WWII, abandoned in the 1990s.

Lucy Worsley: The Black Death.

Elementary S1 E6 "Flight risk".
