Teatime viewing was an old Police Interceptors

And then E1 of D-Day: The Unheard Tapes on iPlayer. Very interesting hearing accounts of the day in people's own voices.

And in Atomic Accidents, the Castle Bravo H-bomb test produced a much bigger bang than expected, and shut down the entire Japanese fishmongering industry for a while when the fishing vessel Lucky Dragon 5 returned from the vicinity with a catch of highly radioactive tuna and a highly radioactive crew

Goodnight all

Quick bit of gardening done (2hrs of digging up the roots of an old tree so we could reposition a bird feeder), followed by dinner. Been watching our fox, who hasn’t interacted with any of the hedgehogs yet tonight, but it’s only a matter of time.
Meanwhile Max is exhausted from being a good, but stressed out, boy over the last few days, having finally got his home back himself alone. Will take him for a walk in the morning before sorting out hotels and flights for work over the next 2 weeks.

We're supposed to be able to get that round here; they announced it not long after I moved in, when I'd already arranged a two-year business broadband contract through MyCo

That runs out in December, so I'm going to see what's on offer in the autumn - I assume they'll need to run the new connection up to the flat somehow, and that will almost certainly involve the property management company, so it might take a few weeks to sort it all out

I went with Hey!Broadband and their home worker package. I wanted something that didn't have to come bundled with a phone line.

Booked broadband installation (full fibre!).

Tea: chicken and chips with gravy

Today turned cloudy after the promising start, and has remained so

Uneventful morning.

Paid the moving deposit. Booked parking suspensions for moving day. Booked broadband installation (full fibre!).

Music thing yesterday and ll1 didn't turn up, said she'd lost track of time. It was pretty boring anyway so glad I didn't have to stay. We all put flowers outside today for neighbour's funeral, seems she had viral pneumonia. Knackering long footpath inspection followed by brief call on another neighbour. Various falls again when she couldn't get up. Same thing with neighbour other side. hope I don't get like that soon.

A meeting overran and there wasn't much time to do anything before the next one, so I bought myself a new iPad Air just for something to do. Delivery tomorrow

CovToyota developed a blow on the exhaust over the weekend. It's due an MOT next month and so I may be reaching the point of deciding whether it lives for another year. It's on 115k so should have a little while left yet with some nursing along. Thankfully I no longer get through cars like I did before the Covid times when I'd just accept driving all over the country for contracts.

It's a Toyota - patch up that bit and the rest of it will keep going forever

Can't remember exactly what mine's on but I think it's about 165K at the age of 23

Afternoon denizens!

Rather cool and cloudy here today but at least it isn't raining.

8 weeks left here on my notice. No signs of another job yet but that's OK I guess. I'd be hoping a bit to find a contract this far out! I just need to fight through having basically no enthusiasm and not a huge amount (though not zero) of work to do.

Which took me back to 2nd of October 2019.

This software really is borked.

Unlike this one which took me back to October 5th 2019. .

Lunch: roast beef bap (wholemeal) with a bag of plain crisps

[sadkingbilly]

ah, - right! - another useful 'feature' then

[NickFitz]

ahhh, - bugrit bugrit. got a multiquote from the cambrian epoch stuck now.
flaky forum strikes again.

You need to go to the post and turn off the multi quote thing, I'm afraid: https://forums.contractoruk.com/ligh...ml#post2998332
