    I was woken around 1.45 am to the noise of much wind and rain. I then awoke again well before my alarm on account of the unreasonably early time it now gets bright.

    A busier morning than a Friday should warrant, but productive. Many meetings this afternoon, which should also be illegal for a Friday.
    Surely meetings are better than actual real work...

    Morning denizens

    The rainy part of the storm has moved on in the night and though it’s still very windy, the sun is shining as the cirrostratus recedes to the east. It’s 5°C but “feels like” -4°, and the expected high for the day is only 9°. The barometers are down to 986/994mB, but expected to rise during the day

    Morning.

    Friday. <checks clock: yes, it's Friday>

    Damp following torrential rain overnight.

    Calm following on from the gales.

    Blue sky in parts.

    Sunny.

    Chilly in here at 13.3 deg, 1? in the kitchen, 10.5 in the leanto.

    997 mBar, 29.44 in Hg, 747.8 Torr, 14.46 psi, (up from 994 last night).

    Meanwhile on the 20th of March 2020 Brillo, covbob, quackhandle, Phil the Greek, and LM popped in.

    Some rain/hail just now, though the sun still shines with a blue sky in parts.

    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: food prog waffling on about bottled water. More of the Bliar Eyerack thing with push having come to shove.

    Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked, initially in sunshine, then a sprinkling of rain, then hail, then sun again. Warm, it wasn't.

    Now getting outside a mug of mediocre yet consistent coffee.

    TFIF, etc.
    Not raining, and the wind has done a reasonable job in drying off the lanes, even if it is a rather chilly 5C out.
    Off to the Arms Park tomorrow.

    It’s been raining extremely heavily here. Eased off slightly now but still going, and it’s still very windy too

    I read some more of The Three-Body Problem tonight

    Friday tomorrow! And with the shopping done today, I only have one or two errands to run, picking up the monthly prescription and so on

    Goodnight all

    When I took the kitchen bin bag out to put in the big bin, I realised there had been rain at some point for the ground was damp.

    There were a few spots of rain at lunchtime, but now it’s become very windy and has started teeming down

    And in other news: new series of Ambulance on iPlayer!

    Another week done!

    Lunch was very late, as I nipped up to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s for such bits as I needed and by the time I got back, the other dev was ready to start looking at some stuff. So I worked with her on that until we both got bored determined, in our professional opinions, that the various matters at hand had been fully addressed; after which I had a Pukka steak slice

    I meant to fill the car up last week as it only had a quarter of a tank and it was obvious petrol prices were heading upwards. But I forgot, and had to do it today instead at the new, higher price

    Judging by such news as I’ve had time to read, this was probably still a lot cheaper than doing it next week

    Morning all

    Cloudy. Dry. Currently 11 degrees ('feels like' 8) with a high of 12 expected. Occasional light showers forecast. Barometer up to 1012 mBar.

    Sunrise 06:22; Sunset 18:01 GMT

    Grumpy today. Mainly because some manager at gig1 stalled the issue of a report to be issued to the client because they looked at it on Monday and never thought I needed to know that it was approved for release. So I've billed for the time I've spent waiting around for them to notify me. They still haven't notified me, rather someone else asked them and I've heard the news third hand. I am so fed up of ConsultancyCo; I really need to source a different route to this client if I want to return in the future. Getting on ClientCo's PSL is a pain in the proverbials and really isn't friendly to small companies.

    Morning.

    Thursday.

    Currently dry.

    Grey.

    Windy, very.

    Sunless.

    Chilly in here at 13.7 deg, ? in the kitchen, 12 in the leanto.

    1005 mBar, 29.6776 in Hg, 753.8 Torr, 14.576 psi, (down from 1011 last night), 69% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 20th of March 2020 I visited various graves in the cemeteries, whilst AndyGarbs, covbob, LM, NF, and WTFH popped in, and someone was attempting to scam xogg with some bogus email about Amazon.

    It's not dry any more. Horizontal drizzle.

    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: bit of a thing about the fall of Singapore followed by more of Bliar and the Weapons Inspectors. Dearlove still unrepentant despite the complete & utter lack of WMD.

    No walk today from the looks of things: I don't do horizontal drizzle. Bet it's lovely down in SA1 at Ye Newe Sloughe of Desponde at the moment. I wonder if any of the Esteemed Customers managed to walk across that wind tunnel bridge across the Tawe.

    I see that streetview has caught up with the construction thereof, including the new (since I left) brown tulipe building.

    Book.

    Tea: beans on toast, scrambled egg etc. Nice enough with the amount of chilli powder, paprika, pepper, and curry powder that gets added to both.

    Entertainment: PM. <click: only so much ambassadorial bollox one can take>.

    Currently blowing a gale with proper horizontal deluge. I was tempted to have a bonfire but that would mean yet another shower so I really can't be arsed.

    Ancient Aliens bollox on Blaze. Well it's on. :.
