It’s a clear blue sky above while a ring of cumuli lurk low on the horizon It’s also pretty windy (19mph, gusts to 32mph), which started last night and will continue all day. As a result, the present 16°C “feels like” 11°; the expected high is 22°, and the barometers are heading downwards at 1007/1015mB

Thursday!

This evening’s viewing was the second episode of the Philadelphia mob thing, in which the FBI are realising that as soon as you put one boss away, a rival boss takes over

And in A Game of Birds and Wolves, the great success of the anti-U-boat game has led to a number of Wrens, often just out of school, becoming the world’s leading experts on anti-submarine warfare, despite having no seafaring experience beyond taking the ferry over the water to Birkenhead and back

Thursday tomorrow! And it’s Tech Debt Thursday, so with a bit of luck I’ll have time to do the shopping at lunchtime - I only need to go to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s

Goodnight all

The day at the office was as expected. The PM and I nearly missed a meeting because we were too busy gossiping. Then we went for a long lunch in the pub before leaving at 4pm.

[NickFitz]

Tea has been spag bol

Lunch was just some crisps because I was quite busy

[ladymuck]

Final day done. Invoice prepped but I'll issue it tomorrow (as well as one for gig1) as it's the start of a whole new financial year.

I don't know why I dreamt up that load of cobblers. My financial year starts on 1 August.

Waiting around for a bloke to come and dredge me oil tank, outlet is blocked. Scrabble with me old lady neighbour later.

Otherwise, apart from me walky, just more fixing of me shed, got some new roof felt. What fun. Not.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Classic Movies: Kind Hearts and Coronets. Who says mass murder can't be funny?

Paul Murton on 3 remote Scottish Islands: Heillsgeir, Sula sgeir, North Rona. Remote is putting it mildly.

Am Dro Selebs: <click> Expedition Unknown thing about Stonehenge, SuperHenge, Avebury, Bryn Celli Ddu, Ring of Brodgar, Stones of Stennish and something they've found underwater which wasn't underwater 5000 years ago but might have inspired the henge concept.

Further out of town with Jack Hargreaves. Nice butterflies. Fishing.

Tea: Tesco battered haddock. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM <click> UFO bollox on Blaze.

Out of Town with Jack Hargreaves. More fishing. And an agricultural show.

Bab5. S1 E17. The missing body one with a telepath thrown in for good measure.

It’s a fairly sunny start but the strands of high cloud seem to be starting to clump together; we had some brief spells of rain last night, but none are expected today (though that’s what they said yesterday). It’s 16°C with an expected high of 24°, and the barometers are much the same at 1011/1019mB

[WTFH]

Morning all
A few ominous clouds at 05:30, but nothing came of them. Now CBS.

Morning all

Blue sky with lumpy fluff. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 26 expected. Barometer at 1023 mBar.

Sunrise 04:48; Sunset 21:22 BST

On the way to gig3 offices (will need to do some renumbering at some point). For a riveting day of PS BS.

In A Game of Birds and Wolves, the war game is up and running in Tate & Lyle’s former offices on the top floor of Derby House, and is a huge success! Within the first few days they’d uncovered the U-boat tactic of casually catching up with a convoy on the surface at night, getting in amongst it, firing off a few torpedoes, then submerging and letting it move on ahead while the RN escorts all rushed around in different directions on the outside, assuming the attack must have come from out there somewhere

Goodnight all

Tea has been a spicy lamb burger out of the freezer with chips and beans, largely because the beans needed to be used up

There’s also the fact that I didn’t go shopping last week, so I’m using up stuff that’s been lurking in the freezer for too long such as the burger

Accompanying this, the start of Mob War: Philadelphia vs. The Mafia, a Netflix documentary about cleaning up organised crime in the early 1990s… or at least trying to

[ladymuck]

Final day done. Invoice prepped but I'll issue it tomorrow (as well as one for gig1) as it's the start of a whole new financial year.

[NickFitz]

It's also my last day at gig2

Woohoo!

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a bit of initially cold chicken that I heated up in the air fryer, just for a change
