Tired this morning. Hopefully I'll find my mojo in my coffee cup.

Grey.
Sunless.
Dry.
Dreary.
Chilly in here at 13.8 deg, something in the kitchen, 12 in the leanto.
1014 mBar, 29.94 in Hg, 760.6 Torr, 14.7 psi, (down from 1015 last night), 69% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile onthe 19th of March 2020 the feeling of impending doom increased, BR14, Brillo, scruff, LM, and NF popped in, along with a
me.
Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: last 15 mines of "Understand: how reading changed our brains", Gordon Corera's 2023 series about the glories of Gulf War II, the previous time our glorioius septic allies bombed the tulip of people in the name of "Freedom". Bliar stars in tomorrow's ep.
. Fecking murdering lying bastard mother****er that he is. Not that I'm in any way judgemental.

Misty out on our walk, but we met a couple from the next village who always bring dog treats with them in case they bump into Max. Apart from that and almost being run over by the recycling lorry, it's been an uneventful Monday morning.

Morning denizens
It’s foggy! Not even a bit misty, but a fairly decent fog
It’s also 7°C, again, with an expected high of 12°, again. The barometers are down a little at 1007/1015mB. And it seems the cloud might clear a bit towards sunset

I’ll have a lookOriginally posted by DoctorStrangelove View PostWhat about that Zeity thread that no one could open? Just askin' for a friend, like.

Tea has been sausage and mash with onion gravy
And this was accompanied by the rest of the episode of Police Interceptors I started watching the other evening; and with that watched, I’m out of new episodes of that

The drives to/from Sussex were smooth and uneventful. Mum was quite chipper.
On returning home, I secured what I consider to be a good parking spot. No trees and easy to get out of.
The bed has been made and the smalls put away.

Ah! Mystery solvedOriginally posted by NickFitz View PostHowever, I also uncovered a problem with some threads, which seem to have become orphaned around the time we did the vBulletin “upgrade” to version 5. Not sure how that happened; there’s nothing obvious that they have in common. There are 104 of them, and now I have to work out how to get them back in their rightful places

I found a DB dump from before the “upgrade” and used that to work out where one of the threads ought to be - and it turned out it had been merged with another thread! When I tried to visit it here on the live site, I was redirected to the appropriate point in that thread instead. So I now believe that the apparently-detached threads are just leftovers from merged threads, and haven’t been lost at all
I now need to check whether those redirects will continue to work, but I think that’s dealt with later in the migration, and they'll be a lot easier to fix up even if they aren’t and I have to do it myself

Lunch has been some leftovers, accompanied by some thing called Outback Truckers in which Australians drive lorries
The last few hours have been spent digging through the post import stuff for the new forum software. Once I’d investigated it thoroughly, it turned out not to be too complicated now I’ve got the threads sorted out

Dull, overcast again. Seems dry. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 12 expected. Barometer down to 1024 mBar.
Sunrise 06:31; Sunset 17:34 GMT
The bed has been stripped and left to air while I drive down to that Sussex to see Mum. Bedroom window opened for extra airing.
Such a shame people don't properly maintain sash windows and only leave the bottom half functional.

Cloudy, dull, damp. Currently 10 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer up to 1026 mBar.

Very lazy day today. I was suppose to give blood this afternoon but rescheduled it yesterday evening as I knew I couldn't be bothered. Will do it next week. Sorry to anyone who needs some O-.
I filled the washing basket with smalls to be washed but haven't got as far as putting them in the WM.
I started stripping the bed to air (I took the pillowcase and liner off one pillow) and decided I couldn't be bothered to do that either.
ye get it frae weegie's.
