Lunch has been a roast pork bap (wholemeal) with apple sauce

I finally used up a bit of roast pork that was lost at the bottom of the freezer for who knows how long, but I daresay it’ll be fine

Meanwhile at ClientGov, today is the quarterly portfolio planning meeting, which is happening at the Newcastle office. I’m not there, obviously, but am apparently supposed to observe activities remotely. So I’ve been working as usual this morning while the sound of various people talking about metrics and goals leaks out of the government MacBook Pro next to me, and will be doing the same this afternoon

Meanwhile on the 5th of March 2020 NF had watched two electric buggies having a race across the pedestrian crossing, followed by making an appointment for an MOT & battery change on the car, LM made a joke about my Bad Leg, cheeky mare, nladuk popped in, and I cooked chilli con carne. Haven't done that for a while. .

Hammering down sideways now. I love horizontal rain.

Marsh is full: high tide at 09:50.

The puddle is back & getting bigger again.

I noticed yesterday that gardens further along are also blessed with this, being lower, like.

Puddle's grown bigger again. .

Freecell score in the dark grey sloughe of desponde of the morning: 88%, running average: 84%.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the Australian customs thing. No frog fat yet.

Stormy overnight, but following our walk it has now turned to mild drizzle and a very light breeze

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

It’s been rainy overnight, and is likely to resume being rainy soon, and again later in the day. Still mild if you discount the fairly strong breeze, being 12°C (“feels like” 3° again) and aiming for 14°. The barometers are heading down once more, at 987/995mB

In the GSG 9 book, they’ve managed to recruit people and worked out how to train them without too many of them accidentally shooting themselves or falling out of helicopters when attempting to abseil, but then… there was nothing for them to do! But it’s the autumn of 1977, and the Red Army Faction et al. are about to change that…

Goodnight all

Tea has been the last of the beef & Guinness stew out of the freezer

This was accompanied by the final episode of Netflix’s Yorkshire Ripper documentary

[NickFitz]

Another day done, and only three more to go!

Today was quite productive in the end, dealing with some slightly gnarly stuff that ends up replacing some much gnarlier stuff written by somebody else a few years ago

Lunch was a Pukka steak slice, eaten in haste as I didn’t have much time after sorting the links out, which I was too busy to do during the morning

Afternoon all,

Wind 5 kt from the South
Temperature 12°C
Humidity 82%
Pressure 1007 hPa
Visibility 10 km or more

This week's soup seems to have more curry powder than normal because I just emptied whatever was left in the pot into the pan. Nice though.

[NickFitz]

Links are up

Dull. Damp. Currently 14 degrees and that's the high for the day. Rain forecast off and on. Barometer up to 1008 mBar.

Not much going on today. Have been offered an extra six months extension with ConsultancyCo, got an interview for another gig with ex-Client contact booked in for Thursday. Still need to find out what the dodgy Swiss lot have planned for 2026. The fact that I still have income opportunities after the end of the month is welcome.

Meanwhile on the 5th of March 2020 Brillo, eek. opm, NF and Churchill popped in and whereas it rained upon LM, it was blue skies in Manchester with opm.


Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the grey gloom, wearing a layer too many.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about head gaskets, dodgy motor dealers and potholes. <click>

Shopping trip to Aldi (who didn't have all that I wanted) and Tesco. Well at least it wasn't so heavy on the way back.

I observe that willendure has joined the throng of posters whose posts don't appear. .

Tea: chilli con carne with rice. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM with the usual bollox about the Orange (Russian Asset) Mother****er.

The Oak Island nutjobbery. I wonder what they won't find this ep: they won't find The Ark, Marie Antoinette's jewels, the Holy Grail or anything much. .

Having walked over 7 miles today, I'm really feeling it. :.

History's Mysteries: D. B. Cooper. Meh.

Cannabis Cove: Operation Sealbay.

FFS how dumb do you have to be to drive around Pembrokeshire in a fecking white Rolls Royce or Porsche & flash £50 notes in pubs in the 1970s.

No wonder they got caught.

These guys were Oxbridge graduates FFS.

Impressive engineering in the hidden cave under the beach.

A very mild 11C out, with not a breeze. Expecting rain later.
