[WTFH]

Morning all
overcast and dry earlier on our walk, now a light drizzle.
Wifi crashed last night and was still down this morning. After a bit of investigating, I discovered the issue was the Devolo Mesh. Somehow it was no longer running on 192.168.x.x but had switched to 169.1.x.x. Give that Devolo is the domain controller, when it screws up, anything on a fixed IP crashes.
Now trying to rebuild the wifi, initially without the mesh.
...and no, I'm not a network engineer, so I may have used the wrong terminology, but I know everything in this house should be on 192.168.

Thursday.

Dry.

Grey.

Hints of wan sun.

Chilly in here at 15 deg, 13 in the kitchen, 12.5 in the leanto, 9 in the saltinghouse.

Morning denizens

Rosy-fingered dawn out there today, with various wisps and strands of cloud scattered around the horizon, while a higher layer towards the zenith is so thin that the just-past-waning-gibbous moon shines through. It’s 7°C yet “feels like” 1°, with an expected high of 11°, and expected to be a bit breezy with sunny spells. The barometers are decidedly up at 1005/1013mB

My last day of ClientGov work for the year beckons!

In Mogadishu, GSG 9 stormed the hijacked airliner and rescued all the hostages with only a few minor injuries. One of the hijackers just about survived. And so the Americans, realising that they wouldn’t have been able to do that, have asked the Germans to help them set up the unit now known as Delta Force

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

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

[NickFitz]

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

[NickFitz]

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

[xoggoth]

No loony ladies today. Really nice day for a wonky. Drop by not loony lady next door before I go.

[WTFH]

Got the registration through for the new car, but no confirmation on when it will be ready.

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.

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>.

Scotland Yard: "Night plane to Amsterdam (1954)". More of the lugubrious Mr Lustgarten. With a spot appearance by Ewen Solon.

Abandoned Engineering S15. "The Nazi last stand": the Berlin FLAK towers. Uptown theatre Chicago: largest cinema auditorium in the world (of course). Malaysian building: Kelly's Castle: evil Scottish colonialist. Winehaven in San Francisco bay: killed off by Prohibition, requisitioned by the US Navy in WWII, abandoned in the 1990s.

Lucy Worsley: The Black Death.

Elementary S1 E6 "Flight risk".

Morning all
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

[NickFitz]

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
