Nicely om'd DrS

Work worked. Quiet day tomorrow. Although starts with a 9.30 am meeting.

Another week done!

I spent some time mucking around with some React.js stuff this afternoon. The other dev had done a chunk of the work, and they know React better than I do, so I wanted to check I’d be able to understand how things worked well enough to be able to carry on with it next week when they’ll be busy with something else - better to badger them with questions today rather than distracting them then! But I seem to have reached the “just about adequate at React” stage, as I was able to get some rather neat bits added to the UI without hassling them at all

Lunch has been the last bit of pork pie

Bit sick of it by now TBH. I shouldn’t buy the big ones, but if I get the smaller ones I tend to eat them all in one go

The rain came but seems to have gone, though there’s a 55% likelihood of it returning at teatime

And before lunch I found time to unmake the bed, so that's now airing and will be remade this evening with a new set of bedding I got from M&S recently

Om?

Morning all

Dull, overcast, wet. Currently 8 degrees ('feels like' 6) with a high of 10 expected. Rain set to return this afternoon. Barometer up to 998 mBar.

Sunrise 07:53; Sunset 16:33 GMT

Gig 3 still not issued a contract but the boss of the person who hired my services wants a chat to go over the the wider context of the programme and let me know what's going on with the paperwork, so that's encouraging.

Morning.

Thursday.

Dark.

Dank.

Wet.

Sunless.

Dreary.

Chilly in here at 12.9 deg, 11.5 in the kitchen, 10 in the leanto.

982.5 mBar, 29 in Hg, 736.9 Torr, 14.25 psi, (up from 980.5 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile in March 2020 see yesterday.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: some theatrical luvey waffling on about weird plays and staging plays weirdly: The cherry orchard where the cast and orchestra are in boxes and the sound is only turned up when they're talking about the tree. . Went down well with the kiddies, not so well with the grownups who thought they'd paid to watch The cherry orchard. .

Book.

Walk (towpath, abbreviated) walked in the grey gloom with rain at the end.

Tea: beans on toast etc. Nice enough.

Entertainment: PM <click> Book.

Just discovered they've demolished one of the local Lidls plus 3 other shops so they can put up a bigger Lidl. Middle of Lidl on steroids!

[WTFH]

Following yesterday's "wrong trousers", when I went into the garden at 6am it was drizzling, so I put on my waterproof trousers as well as the long coat. By about 6:45 it had stopped raining.
Raining again now, but it's looking a bit brighter to the east.

Another grey day, with a 60% chance of rain in the next hour but not after that - well, not until tonight. It’s 7°C (“feels like” 1°) with an expected 8° for much of the afternoon; the barometers are down a bit at 977/984mB

Thursday! Not sure how many meetings the day will be plagued with, but not too many if I’m lucky

[NickFitz]

Tonight’s only viewing was the remainder of last night’s Police Interceptors

I must remember to watch E2 of that thing about the Swedish women who went berserk on the motorway.

In Stalingrad, mayhem continues - but winter has started, and the Germans have launched and failed at what will turn out to be their last major assault on what’s left of the city

The rain’s back

But: Thursday tomorrow!

This weekend will be one of great confusion as my routine is thrown into disarray by an appointment with the dental hygienist on Saturday. I’ll be across the river for that so I’ll put the shopping off until then, as I can head down to Big Sainsbury’s after it

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

A bit of roast gammon out of the freezer with chips, fried egg, and beans for tea

It continued gloomy until nightfall here, but I think the rain’s finally petered out

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been the leftover belly pork from the other night, in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

Still grey and, I think, occasionally drizzly here

It’s a day of several meetings today, being the end of one sprint and start of another

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning.

Wednesday.

Damp with hints of rain.

Grey.

Sunless.

Windy.

Meanwhile on the 12th of March 2020 covbob had a headache & NF had an early night, whilst on the 13th Brillo, BR14, eek, and Churchill popped in and there was a discussion of The Spanish Flu just to cheer us all up, like.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the grey gloom.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: "Trust". Y&Y <click>.

Foyle's War S3 E4. "A war of nerves". The bomb disposal one. Don't recall watching that one before either.

Book. Other book. Looking up the fastest curve for a falling object as per Newton: a cycloid: a brachistochrone curve.

Tea: battered haddock. Nice enough. Entertainment: the ramblings of the Orange Mother****ing Moron on PM <click> Can no one rid the world of this idiot?

Entertainment: Scotland Yard. "Destination Death (1956)" with dear old Roger Delgado.

Abandoned Engineering. Bulgaria: Pedarsko radio jamming station. France: Fort de Romainville prison/transit camp: Eddy Chapman/Agent Zigzag. SepticLand: Philidelphia: Uptown Theatre/Cinema. Malaysia: Caledonia House, rubber plantation: John St Maur Ramsden murder.

In ClientCo's office today.

[WTFH]

Morning all
6C and what I thought was light rain and little breeze turned out not to be. No such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes. I should have had my waterproof trousers on instead of jeans under my stockman coat.

Grey day out there, and damp again after last night’s rain. It’s 4°C which “feels like” -2°, so maybe still a bit breezy too, with an expected high of 9°, and the rain’s expected to resume shortly and continue resuming for much of the day (95% tending towards 55% later). The barometers are well down at 980/988mB
