    Tea has been lamb chops with the rest of the potato cakes, and beans

    This was accompanied by the rest of an episode of Traffic Cops that I started watching a few days ago

    Another busy day, but just one more to go - this time tomorrow, I’ll be done with ClientGov for the year!

    Lunch: leftover pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap. Not that different to yesterday’s lunch, but I’m a bit short of lunch stuff again

    Quite sunny out, though there seem to be a few more clumps of cloud drifting about

    Morning all

    Blue sky with wisps scurrying past. Currently 12 degrees ('feels like' 10) with a high of 13 expected. No rain forecast. Barometer up to 1014 mBar.

    Sunrise 07:56; Sunset 15:52 GMT

    The dodgy Swiss consultancyCo say they want me for 20h a week next year. New client meeting tomorrow morning to discuss that opportunity. Other gig is amenable to me dropping to 3 days a week next year so it could be possible to juggle three gigs if I wanted to be greedy.

    Morning.

    Wednesday.

    Damp.

    Grey.

    Blue sky in parts.

    Sunless.

    Chilly in here at 15.1 deg, 15 in the kitchen, 13 in the leanto.

    1007 mBar, 27.74 in Hg, 755.3 Torr, 14.6 psi, (up from 1000 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 5th of March 2020 NF was contemplating visiting the market after dropping the car off, Brillo popped in, I watched "Hang 'em High", NF trundled the bins, LM didn't.

    Partial washing frenzy in progress. I note it's getting darker & darker so it'll be in the TD shortly.

    Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away: enlivened by the bottle of milk leaking in my back pack thusly explaining why my leg seemed wet & getting wetter. Not best pleased.

    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: someone waffling on about bog bodies.

    Shirts in the TD, out of the TD, iRoned & airing upstairs.

    Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine. If I'd known the afternoon would be like this I'd have washed the lot.

    Ho hum.

    Now getting outside a mug of mediocre but consistent coffee.

    Judging by the forecast I should have washed the lot today. .

    Tea: Tesco battered haddock. Nice enough.

    Entertainment: PM <click>. Discovering Nicole Kidman <click>. Spy thing <click>.

    Abandoned Engineering S15.

    Elementary S1 E

    CBS, etc, but warm (11C) with no breeze.Even though the skies were clear, there was still a minute or two of precipitation on our walk.

    Morning denizens

    It’s a mostly clear sky out so likely to be sunny later if it holds up, but it’s pretty windy too. Not quite as mild either: currently 9°C (“feels like” 1°) with a high of just 11°, which isn’t bad for the time of year but isn’t as warm as it has been. The barometers are bouncing back though, at 997/1005mB

    Tonight’s viewing was E1 of The Man in the Mask: An Orkney Murder on iPlayer

    And in the GSG 9 book, they’ve finally got an opportunity to put their training into practice as they prepare to storm a hijacked Lufthansa airliner at Mogadishu airport

    Goodnight all

    Tea has been a pork cutlet with fried mashed potato cakes and beans

    I’m not sure if the cakes count as tattie scones, but they were very nice. Enough left for another meal too, so I might freeze them

    Another day done, and only two more to go this year!

    I managed to complete the stuff I was hoping to get done today, despite the people wittering on about stuff all the way from Newcastle

    Because of that, our sprint changeover meetings (retrospective, backlog refinement, planning) have been pushed back to Thursday. So I’ll spend much of that day involved in planning for a sprint for which I won’t be present

    Then again, the other dev is taking several extra days off here and there in the run-up to Christmas too. So I don’t think there'll actually be much to plan for
