In the lounge waiting for our next flight, to Munich. Leaves in about an hour. The B747 from San Francisco was fun, had never been on one of those before. We were sat on the top deck and there were proper cameras so I could watch the final approach, landing, and taxiing to gate

And then some more of Character Limit. I either hadn't heard or had forgotten that immediately after taking over Twitter, Musk came to believe on the basis of no evidence whatsoever that lots of the company's employees were fake, so the HR department at the HQ in San Francisco had to waste huge amounts of time getting managers at all of their offices around the world to confirm that the people who worked for them were real humans

did they have to find pics of bicycles and traffic lights?

Morning.

Monday.

Dry damp with a hint of drizzle.

Wanly sunny.

Chilly in here at 11.2 deg, 10 deg in the kitchen, 8 deg in the leanto.

1022 mBar, 30.185 in Hg, 766.7 Torr, 14.826 psi, (down from 1026 last night), 61% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 26th of December 2019 LM & HWMBO visited her parents & was surprised with the entire family turned up, with HWMBO feeling under the weather on the way back, NF noted that his local association football team was playing in Leicester with a distinct lack of interest, and I had chilli con carne for tea & finished of "The Dresden Files" & moved on to "Tinker Tailor" for amusement.

Gosh. The mention of breaded haddock brought back in a flash a memory of my very late Gran frying fish on a frying pan over the open fire in the kitchen next door. . Not a day less than 60 years ago. .

[WTFH]

morning all
Rainy overnight leading to a wet walk this morning with quite a cold breeze, air temp of 4.5C felt "a lot colder"

[WTFH]

Tea has been chunky breaded haddock with chips and beans

Ours was chunky breaded haddock, but with cauliflower cheese.

Morning denizens

Grey start again, and damp again after some more rain late last night or early this morning. Currently 3°C yet it's supposed to "feel like" -4°, so who knows what the predicted high of 4° will feel like, given that it's expected to coincide with the return of the wind. The barometers are almost the same at 1016/1024mB

The usual Monkey Life this morning. Turns out I was mistaken about S16 next week being the newest - they're up to S17, so it'll still be repeats for a couple more weeks, albeit of stuff that's only been on once before (not counting the subscription-only Sky channels)

During the rest of the day I managed to find time to do some more mucking around with SpriteKit and such, including sending the app over to the iPad so I could see how the interaction works on an actual touchscreen

This evening's viewing was an old(ish) 24 Hours in A&E

And then some more of Character Limit. I either hadn't heard or had forgotten that immediately after taking over Twitter, Musk came to believe on the basis of no evidence whatsoever that lots of the company's employees were fake, so the HR department at the HQ in San Francisco had to waste huge amounts of time getting managers at all of their offices around the world to confirm that the people who worked for them were real humans

Monday again tomorrow. But what can you do

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

No it was a direct flight from Auckland to San Francisco

There's still time! It's on - well, under - your route

[NickFitz]

Tea has been chunky breaded haddock with chips and beans

[ladymuck]

Presumably going via some remote airfield in Newfoundland like characters in a Nevil Shute novel

No it was a direct flight from Auckland to San Francisco

[ladymuck]

Morning all, San Francisco calling, local time 0802

Looks like a clear blue sky with a touch of haziness. Currently 6 degrees with a high of 14 expected. Barometer at 1024 mBar.

Sunrise 07:05; Sunset 17:43

The 12h flight from Auckland was uneventful, as one would always hope. We have about 5h in the same lounge as last week before heading off to Frankfurt this afternoon.

Another nice volunteery morning. Finished just before it started raining. Free biscuits!

[NickFitz]

Hopefully not "No Highway" .

They end up stranded at Gander in that one IIRC

[NickFitz]

Lunch: Heinz tomato soup with white toast

The wind seems to be getting stronger, coming from the NE so quite chilly. I've got the kitchen and bedroom windows open to get some fresh air through the place while it's available, but I think I'll have to close them if it gets any stronger. And there's rain due in half an hour or so
