[WTFH]

Expensive day today. The wife's car went in for a new under tray (£232 fitted), and there's another £1,300 of repairs to be done to it. (I rejected the Audi Stealer's price for new front tyres and new front brakes "your brakes are 60% worn" and "your tyres are down to 3.8mm")

Then to top it off, one of the local farmers was out trimming the hedge on a field, so I got him to do our front hedge. 20 minutes to top and front 30 metres of hedge, for £40. If I do it with my petrol cutter it takes 2 days and produces a lot of waste. He flails it with the tractor arm and all that is left is shreddings.

Another week done!

I carried on for an extra thirty minutes or so as there was something that wasn't working, and the others had to go. Once I had the relevant bits set up locally and could make use of PyCharm's Docker integration, I sorted it out very quickly. I'm always surprised at how many developers seem to think debugging involves looking at things and trying to figure out why they don't work; I've always taken the approach of using every debugging tool at my disposal and getting inside the machine to see what's really going on as opposed to what I think should be going on, and it saves loads of time

Lunch has been a pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

It's brightened up considerably out; looking rather Simpsonesque now

Morning all

Sunny and dry. Clear sky from my vantage point. Currently 10 degrees with a high of 18 expected. Barometer down to 1021 mBar.

My aunt texted me this morning asking if Mum was eligible for any Alzheimer's trials. Because her conclusion after forgetting her sister existed for the past two years is that she now needs to interfere in her care. I will be charitable and assume that this is her just trying to be more involved and scratching around for things that might help.

Morning.

Thursday.

Dry.

Wanly sunny.

Chilly in here at 16.6 deg, 16.5 deg in the kitchen, 14 deg in the leanto.

1012 mBar, 29.884 in Hg, 759.1 Torr, 14.6778 psi, (down from 1019 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 24th of November 2019 NF's visit to the chinese was back to normal with no other customers, nor Amber Rudd, viewing included yet more of "The Wire" along with locations as shown on google, whereas I was still watching BTVS and Angel, and xogg was wondering why weather forecasts were so pessimistic since rather than cloud & mist he experienced a sunny day with blue skies.

Morning all
The Wife left me this morning.

Well, I say left, she's gone off with a school friend to visit another friend who is rather ill.

Morning denizens

Slightly misty and overcast start, though the sun is just about to come up and it'll clear up a lot going into the morning. It's 8°C ("feels like" 3°, so there must be a breeze, though it's not obvious to me) with an expected high of a balmy 16° this afternoon. The barometers are heading down again, at 1009/1017mB

Tonight in reading, I finished off The Founders. And then I started on Falling by T. J. Newman. This is the first novel by a former flight attendant, who's been very successful with this and her two subsequent books - movie rights sold for vast sums, top of the bestseller lists, and all that. I think I bought it because it was part of a "buy four things and get x% off" offer on Amazon. Anyway, it seems like a decent enough thriller so far, though I haven't actually got very far with it as I got distracted researching the possibility of rendering irregularly-shaped views in SwiftUI

Thursday tomorrow!

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been pork cutlet with chips and beans

This was accompanied by a new Police Interceptors. Got to get them while they're hot!

[ladymuck]

Much research needed for the additional project I was put onto. Spent the day surfing t'interweb for clues.

[NickFitz]

Another day done and it was quite interesting, working with somebody else on some stuff. But I'll be glad when it's this time tomorrow and I'm done for the week

[NickFitz]

Lunch: bacon bap

It's brightening up here now. The lawns out the front have been mowed; I just saw a squirrel going round inspecting the results, probably making sure that the stuff I sometimes see him or her burying in it is still there

[ladymuck]

Morning all

It started off sunny with lumps of fluff but has now clouded over. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 16 expected. No rain forecast. Barometer up to 1028 mBar.

It looks like the missing recycling bin that belonged to the flat upstairs has been found and returned. Or, someone has randomly dumped a recycling bin out the front. I'll take a look later. The lad upstairs got a replacement delivered so that means a surfeit of recycling receptacles. I'm sure the council will happily take away the spare bin for reuse elsewhere.
