Morning all

TFIF, etc.
Not raining, and the wind has done a reasonable job in drying off the lanes, even if it is a rather chilly 5C out.
Off to the Arms Park tomorrow.

[NickFitz]

It’s been raining extremely heavily here. Eased off slightly now but still going, and it’s still very windy too

I read some more of The Three-Body Problem tonight

Friday tomorrow! And with the shopping done today, I only have one or two errands to run, picking up the monthly prescription and so on

Goodnight all

When I took the kitchen bin bag out to put in the big bin, I realised there had been rain at some point for the ground was damp.

[NickFitz]

Tea: shepherd’s pie

Along with that, the rest of the motorway cops thing I started watching last night

[ladymuck]

Just noticed: new series of Ambulance on BBC

[ladymuck]

The wind's up here too.

[NickFitz]

There were a few spots of rain at lunchtime, but now it’s become very windy and has started teeming down

And in other news: new series of Ambulance on iPlayer!

[NickFitz]

Another week done!

Lunch was very late, as I nipped up to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s for such bits as I needed and by the time I got back, the other dev was ready to start looking at some stuff. So I worked with her on that until we both got bored determined, in our professional opinions, that the various matters at hand had been fully addressed; after which I had a Pukka steak slice

I meant to fill the car up last week as it only had a quarter of a tank and it was obvious petrol prices were heading upwards. But I forgot, and had to do it today instead at the new, higher price

Judging by such news as I’ve had time to read, this was probably still a lot cheaper than doing it next week

[ladymuck]

What a whiny post for an Om. I do apologise.

Morning all

Cloudy. Dry. Currently 11 degrees ('feels like' 8) with a high of 12 expected. Occasional light showers forecast. Barometer up to 1012 mBar.

Sunrise 06:22; Sunset 18:01 GMT

Grumpy today. Mainly because some manager at gig1 stalled the issue of a report to be issued to the client because they looked at it on Monday and never thought I needed to know that it was approved for release. So I've billed for the time I've spent waiting around for them to notify me. They still haven't notified me, rather someone else asked them and I've heard the news third hand. I am so fed up of ConsultancyCo; I really need to source a different route to this client if I want to return in the future. Getting on ClientCo's PSL is a pain in the proverbials and really isn't friendly to small companies.

Morning.

Thursday.

Currently dry.

Grey.

Windy, very.

Sunless.

Chilly in here at 13.7 deg, ? in the kitchen, 12 in the leanto.

1005 mBar, 29.6776 in Hg, 753.8 Torr, 14.576 psi, (down from 1011 last night), 69% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 20th of March 2020 I visited various graves in the cemeteries, whilst AndyGarbs, covbob, LM, NF, and WTFH popped in, and someone was attempting to scam xogg with some bogus email about Amazon.

It's not dry any more. Horizontal drizzle.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: bit of a thing about the fall of Singapore followed by more of Bliar and the Weapons Inspectors. Dearlove still unrepentant despite the complete & utter lack of WMD.

No walk today from the looks of things: I don't do horizontal drizzle. Bet it's lovely down in SA1 at Ye Newe Sloughe of Desponde at the moment. I wonder if any of the Esteemed Customers managed to walk across that wind tunnel bridge across the Tawe.

I see that streetview has caught up with the construction thereof, including the new (since I left) brown tulipe building.

Book.

Tea: beans on toast, scrambled egg etc. Nice enough with the amount of chilli powder, paprika, pepper, and curry powder that gets added to both.

Entertainment: PM. <click: only so much ambassadorial bollox one can take>.

Currently blowing a gale with proper horizontal deluge. I was tempted to have a bonfire but that would mean yet another shower so I really can't be arsed.

Ancient Aliens bollox on Blaze. Well it's on. :.

AI thingie with Hannah Fry 3/3. AI in septic health care & Justifiable Homicide. .

Morning all
Windy out, but dry for our walk, although looking at the dark clouds, it's raining nearby.
Excitement from yesterday evening was that the grass had dried enough (and it was light enough) to get the mower out for the first cut in a while. in places the grass was quite long. The excitement continued in that I had about 3 litres of fuel in the jerry can, which half-filled the tank on the mower and should give me enough for at least one more cut.

Morning denizens

It’s a cloudy sort of start again and going to be pretty windy all day, with rain expected this evening. It’s 8°C but “feels like” -2°, with an expected high of 12° that presumably won’t feel much better. The barometers are down some more at 997/1005mB

But: it’s Thursday!

[NickFitz]

I managed some productive meddling around with SwiftUI during the evening

And I read some more of The Three-Body Problem

Thursday tomorrow!

It’s our Tech Debt day. There’s some stuff the PM wants us to focus on, which the other dev has had more to do with than me; I don’t know whether she’ll want me to help, or if she’ll be happy to get on with it on her own. She doesn’t seem to think it’ll be too burdensome though, so once we’ve done that there may be time for me to finally dispose of the thing that’s dragged on since before Christmas - though I’ve just remembered that it may be better not to use that just yet, as it does some serious meddling with the structure of the database, and due to a platform bug that they thought they’d fixed earlier in the week and hadn’t, we might not be able to restore it if things go horribly wrong

But it also means there’s a good chance I’ll be able to nip along to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s at lunchtime and get the shopping (of which there’s very little needed) out of the way

Goodnight all

It was a tiring but productive day at the coal face.

Got home about 6.30pm. Nearly 12 hours out of the house
