Evening all

It's been a lovely sunny day with lumps of fluff. The high was 18 and, despite a damp start, no rain rained. Looks to be a clear night too. Barometer up to 1011 mBar.

Apparently the clear skies should afford a good sight of the "Harvest Moon" this evening.

I have today been offered more work by consultancyCo, increasing my days from 2 per week back up to full time. This is very welcome even if it is only until the end of January.

The quest for a more firmly positioned contract continues.

The walk has been walked

Once it gets dark, I'm going to have a look for that comet - the skies are mostly clear, and my bedroom window faces in roughly the right direction

Thursday done, timesheet submitted, and… WEEKEND!

Sunny afternoon out, with just a few wisps of cloud hither and yon

[xoggoth]

Just back from Cabaret with sub-section of usual old witches. Last act was esp. nice, burlesque lady with a lovely b*m. Got a bit of a ....

Cold chicken leg and a bag of plain crisps for lunch

Same again as there are two legs per pack, though they probably didn't come from the same chicken

In today's post: several copies of Commando No. 5794 River of Death, first published as No. 582 in September 1971 and written by my Dad!

Morning.

Thursday.

Awake at sparrowfart again.

Damp.

Dreary.

Grey.

Sunless.

1002 mBar, in Hg, Torr, psi, (up from 998 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 22nd of November 2019 the weather was much the same as above but colder.

Morning denizens

There was some rain last night, but this morning it's a rosy-fingered dawn with a clear sky above! It'll get a bit cloudier over the course of the day though. Still relatively mild at 13°C ("feels like" 10°) with an expected high of 16°; the barometers are up a touch at 994/1002mB

Tonight's telly was E1 of Inside Barlinnie about the eponymous Glasgow prison, which is soon to close. Interesting stuff

And then I read a few more chapters of The Founders, in which PayPal finally has its name - though it still thinks it's making a PalmPilot app for splitting bills in restaurants

Thursday (which is now functionally equivalent to Friday for me) tomorrow!

Goodnight all

[xoggoth]

Nice to get home and relax after old fart walk this morning, bookreading group this afternoon and history talk this evening. Last not what I was expecting as lady I know a bit couldn't give the talk but not bad alternative about witches. Modern witches probably fly around on Dyson vacuum cleaners.

Tea has been oniony chicken casserole with chips and peas

In fact, I didn't have many other options. I need to build up my reserves again

Today's walk has been walked, starting with a trip over to the place of many bins to drop off some recycling

[ladymuck]

Clothings have been laundered and are draped about to dry.

It's currently bright and sunny, with blue sky visible but the rain forecast for later hasn't gone away.

Some work was done and then I got bored and logged off. I have about a day of billable time left this week so no need to do it all at once!

Things continue quiet on the ClientGov front, as there's a "workshop" of some kind going on in That London. I obviously didn't go, as I'd really have nothing to contribute anyway, being new to the project

It turns out that every other person on the project is from some consultancy outfit, and it's that which is providing the venue and such. I gather that they get to satisfy personal KPIs and the like by doing this sort of stuff, which explains why they all seemed quite amenable to the idea. I, of course, don't have to suffer any such nonsense

Morning all

Dull, cloudy, damp. Currently 18 degrees with a high of 21 expected . Rain due from early evening onwards. Barometer down to 1002 mBar.

I fancied scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast but my bread had gone mouldy. I just about had enough milk for cereal instead. To add insult to injury, my coffee machine has just turned itself off, indicating that it's been about 2 hours since my last coffee.
