    Ominous rumblings from senior management, suggesting that the project may not be cancelled after all!

    It almost works now though. It'll be a close run thing to get it into production ahead of an external hard deadline, but only because so many people are on leave in August and September that we've had to push the start of the necessary transition period back to early October

    Laundry has been done and is out in the garden sunning itself. It's probably dry by now as I put it out about 3 hours ago.

    Morning all

    Sunny with high level fluff. Currently 19 degrees with a high of 27 expected. Barometer up a snifter to 1008 mBar.

    I managed to lose my shopping list yesterday (as in, I know I accidentally chucked it in the bin with real rubbish) and I can't remember all that was on it so that must mean I didn't need it all. In checking the prices of what I do remember needing, I can see that Waitrose has some of the more awkward to get home items on at the same price as Morrisons so I think I'll pop there for those, as it's only 15 mins walk away, and then get the bus to Morrisons for the rest.

    Tanqueray 10 is also on offer at Waitrose. I don't "need" that but it's rude to not buy it when it's under £30. They seem to have taken over that offer from Sainsbury's.

    10C when we went out for our perambulation, which may also explain the better night's sleep.
    Nice aurora last night, and a few meteor trails thrown in for good measure.

    Morning denizens

    Sunny start but with cloud that's expected to increase, and it's also expected to be a bit cooler today: currently 15°C, not getting any worse than 24°. The barometers are steady at 997/1005mB

    The only telly tonight was an old Police Interceptors and it turned out I'd seen that one before too, so I hope they start making some new ones soon

    Warm night, but the weather's going to be a bit more sensible about it for the rest of the week

    Goodnight all

    As all the bed linen dried, it can go straight back on the bed. Which reminds me, I really ought to make the bed...

    Tea: sausages, chips and beans

    The air conditioner is doing a good job of keeping the living room at a tolerable temperature this evening
