    Evening all

    It's been cloudy and damp, with occasional mizzle. The high was 7 degrees ('felt like' 4). Barometer is at 1032 mBar.

    I was up early this morning to go to the office. Busy day. Then drove home and had a glass of gently warmed mulled wine.

    Tired, will most likely get an early night as I'll be back at the office tomorrow.

    Another day done. It wasn't too bad; mainly following along as another guy did some stuff on his current thing that I'll have to get sorted out for my thing tomorrow

    This consultancy that supplies everybody else is very big on "pairing". I think the official line is that it's important so that knowledge isn't lost when somebody goes under a bus, but I do wonder if being able to charge for twice as many people to work on every task might come into it too

    Lunch: leftover pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

    The lurgy hasn't got any worse, though we've got a retro meeting shortly which will probably give it a boost

    I got a text from the dentist earlier cancelling my checkup next week and telling me to call. I did so, and now I'm going on Friday morning. This is a bit of a pain, and also means I could have gone on to Sainsbury's if I hadn't already arranged the delivery, given that I'll be halfway there anyway

    Apparently they've done a rug pull and the top dentist now only sees private patients, leaving NHS ones like me to the cleaner I assume. Ah well, they could have just binned NHS services off completely, I suppose

    Morning.

    Tuesday.

    Grey.

    Dark.

    Dreary.

    Dry.

    Sunless.

    Chilly in here at 11.8 deg, 11 deg in the kitchen, 9.5 deg in the leanto.

    1030.7 mBar, 30.436 in Hg, 773 Torr, 14.949 psi, (unchanged), 63% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 9th of December 2019 there was discussion of various teas, with ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion Orion rising magnificently whilst NF cooked his ribs for tea.

    Trip to that Swansea to get shot of another foot of books and some dvds I'll never watch again (Man from Uncle? it seemed good half a century ago, now: not so much). Only bought two books back with me this time. There were some P.K. Dick books in the rack, along with "Ringworld". I left them where they were. I noted earlier in the week (or last week) that "The mote in murchison's eye" remained where it was.

    Shopping trip from Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

    Nasty cold breeze blowing in my face on the trudge back.

    Lunch: brunch.

    Tea: Tesco battered haddock etc. Nice enough: not cooked to death.

    Entertainment: Nazi Hunters: Klaus Barbie, John Demjanjuk (apparently not Ivan the Terrible).

    UFO hunters: orbs. The fright haired swiss git from Ancient Aliens stuck his oar in.

    Thing about canals.

    Shed & buried: a rat rod "E type": the only thing E about it is the bonnet, the rest is BMW. £25k FFS.

    The Bad Skin Clinic. Lady with alopecia. Young woman with PCOS giving rise to hirsutism. Lady with a goodly sized cyst on her head.

    Max and I went out early this morning, which hadn't been my plan, but worked out well, as about 15 minutes after getting in, it started to rain.

    Morning denizens

    Rather a grey start out and still a little breezy, though not anything like it has been. It's 5°C but "feels like" -1°, with an expected high of 7°, while the barometers remain high at 1023/1031mB

    I awoke today with a bit of a sore throat and runny nose, plus a slight headache. Covid test has come back negative, so it may just be yet another cold picked up while shopping

    Tonight's reading was a bit more Siegfried Sassoon

    And I placed a Sainsbury's order for delivery on Friday so I don't have to bother going shopping. I don't need much so it's not worth going all the way there, but on Saturday we're having pre-Christmas lunch with the nieces who are going to the other side of their family this year, so I need to get chocolates and stuff like that

    Three more days…

    Goodnight all
