I've started (and finished, unless there's something I've forgotten or somebody wants more detail on there) a Confluence page listing what needs to be decommissioned and how to do so. The "how to" bits largely consist of saying who to ask to actually do it; the one bit I can do entirely by myself will literally involve pushing a button and waiting a minute or two
It's the AGM of the limited company for these here properties at 18:00, on Zoom. I think I shall attend, though I can't think of anything to raise in AOB. The minutes of previous ones were among the documents sent to me by the solicitors of the seller during the purchasing process and it looks like they occasionally give advance warning of stuff that's going to be done around the place, like the other year when they repaved the path behind block B

Morning all
Lots of lumpy fluff scurrying about. Dry and sunny. Currently 19 degrees with a high of 22 expected. Cloud cover set to increase as the day progresses. Barometer up to 1015 mBar.
No other news to report at this time.

Aaaaand… SHUTDOWN!
It's not been officially promulgated yet, but word came through after I'd knocked off yesterday that the thing I've been working on since a year ago last February will no longer be needed
Interestingly, because it all results from them having negotiated a massive discount, extending over several years, for an external service, they should actually end up saving money despite the waste of time and effort. And although it's completely unrelated to the change in administration, I daresay it will find its way onto a Spending Review report somewhere down the line as a saving that was achieved as part of the new agenda
I gather they already have ideas about what to do with me next, so I'll probably be OK. I need to let them know I'd like to take a bit of time off before moving on to the next thing, though

Morning.
Tuesday.Wednesday. Damn the clock.
Dry.
Sunless.
Cool in here at 19.1 deg, 20 deg in the kitchen, 17 deg in the leanto.
1012 mBar, 29.884343 in Hg, 759.06 Torr, 14.6778 psi, (up from 1010 last night), 70% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 4th of November 2019 it was TPD's birthday, it having reached the grand old age of 14, whereas it was raining everywhere to celebrate.
Walk (greatly abbreviated due to ongoingand
: plus there was some vehicle with flashing lights on the lane up the hill to the res) walked in the grey gloom and bracing wind.
Lunch: breakfast.
Entertainment: more of the not very funny Sledge Hammer. It looks very much as if it's in the territory of Things best left as Memories.
Since I felt a bit: I "watched" dear old Bob doing his painting thing on Sky Arts. Very restful.

Morning all
Hazy blue skies, the moon was really bright overnight and still high in the sky during our earlier perambulation.

Old fart group walk later, followed by dentist! Ergh. What fun.
Having big clear out and don't know what to do with loads of unused tiles. Seems shame to chuck them but nobody wanted them on Freecycle.

Morning denizens
Sunny start out, with assorted vapour trails revealing the high-level flight paths hereabouts. Going to be quite mild again, being 12°C and aiming for 20°. The barometers have bounced back from the front that passed over yesterday, being 1004/1012mB

Very nice out now, though a bit late for it

Afternoon all
Sunny with lumps of fluff and quite a stiff breeze. There was a risk of rain around lunchtime that never materialised. Currently 22 degrees and the high was 23. Barometer is down to 1008 mBar.
Today I wandered up to Waitrose to collect a grocery order. I noticed that their online offers (app or website) are often not available when shopping in store. So, I ordered online for collection those discounted items I wanted and then double checked while I was in the shop for any other items that are cheaper in store than online.
Job hunting is not going well. The (often) automated responses suggest that I lack the skill, experience or both for all the roles I'm going for. There seems to be hundreds of people applying for every role despite, if one were to believe such things, there being a skills shortage in the UK... I would hope the skills shortage claims are not for the kind of work I'm looking for and the noise is about brain surgeons and rocket scientists.

Lunch has been the last of the leftover KFC. There's been a lot of it as they had one of those offers where the thing you wanted plus a bunch of other stuff is cheaper than just getting the thing
There was some quite heavy rain this morning, but the cloud is clearing a little and it's brightening up a bit now
