I decided to be generous and do the work as I prefer to maintain a good relationship with Heathrow than the consultancy. Will now have to talk to the director on Monday about whether I swap the time or bill for it. Hopefully the latter, seeing as I'm now being asked to attend a meeting on the day I would have taken off.
-
We have an unhappy client who didn't like hearing that their requested changes to their dashboard couldn't be done until Monday at the earliest because the consultancy has put me on a 3 day week and I was clocking off as soon as the meeting ended.
Mentioned it to the PM who asked if I'd consider swapping working this afternoon for extra time off next week. Fine in principle if they're assuming I don't have plans for the time they said they didn't need me to work.
Now considering how generous I want to be...

Morning all
Overcast but reasonably bright. Light showers off and on all morning, clearing up mid afternoon. Currently 16 degrees with a high of 17 expected. Barometer up a snifter to 1007 mBar.
Much tinkering with Power BI this morning. Looks like my part time stint will come to an end this month so the clock is very much ticking on finding another gig. Sod all out there though.
Still haven't found another place to move to, either.
Homeless and jobless, awesome! What benefits can I claim?

Work wise, the day was a bit meh.

Moving up the road a little one can spot the decaying veranda roof thing over the bay window that was held up by a bit of string/aerial cable/whatever. The council made him take it down which gave rise to the installation of the bit of board that lived on top of the bay window for about 15 years.
Morning.
Thursday.
Dry.
Sunny.
Blue sky in parts.
Cool in here at 18.3 deg, 18.5 deg, 18 deg in the leanto, 15 deg in the saltinghouse.
1000.5 mBar, 29.5447 in Hg, 750.436 Torr, 14.511 psi, (up from 993 last night), 77% RH (GDR hair), 71% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 28th of September 2019 it was raining old women & sticks around here, NF went to the Chinese, and an assortment of space epics were watched, being "Ad Astra" and "Serenity". Wxman was mentioned, but not what happened to him.
Dire night's sleep: playing Freecell until 02:30 wasn't a good idea.
Cupboard drawers duly washed out, the cutlery tidy thing duly washed & dried, more moths killed.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the wan sunshine and intermittent grey gloom.
Lunch: beans on toast (cheesy) etc.
Entertainment: Y&Y Gapfinders: card payment thingies for very small businesses. Y&Y Sliced Bread: air fresheners.
Veronica Mars S2 E11 "Donut Run". The runaway father one. As opposed to the father in gaol one or the Veronica in gaol one.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Today, 11:42.

Morning all
Was very misty in the valley when we headed out at 6am, but we stayed above the mist, which has now completely burned off. Looks like it's going to be a warm one.
9.something km walked, 11k steps

Morning denizens
Foggy start this morning, which isn't what I was expecting
The fog will presumably clear but it's expected to remain cloudy, and the rain is due from lunchtime and on into the night. Currently 11°C and not expected to get any higher than 15°; the barometers are up a little though, at 994/1002mB

Tonight's only viewing was an old Police Interceptors to go with the pie and chips
Other than that and a little light stalking, I mainly read silly nonsense online
Goodnight all

Wasn't that Zeity chap ever so pleased when you posted a streetview of his office on here? .

Another day, another person tweeting a photo of the view from their window which leads to me identifying exactly where they live from ten minutes of poking around on Wikipedia and Google Maps

More rain this afternoon but it cleared up, so to Big Sainsbury's I did go. Turns out it's even quieter there early Wednesday evening than it is at the same time on Thursday
And home via the VAT fraud chip shop where I got a chicken and mushroom pie and chips for tea - a Pukka Pie, of course, as while they may not have been averse to fiddling their tax return in the past, they've never been known to provide their customers with anything less than the best
Nice evening now, though I gather it won't last

Lunch: roast beef butty (wholemeal)
Still quite gloomy out, though the supposed light showers aren't making an impression and may be a figment of the weather app's imagination
Apparently tomorrow afternoon and evening is expected to be a bit damper, so I'm thinking of going shopping tonight while it's still reasonably dry.
Mundane laundry has been done and is nearly dry
