Mundane News

[Gravity Aided]

It was 0C per the car thermometer. No frost, but the slipstream of moving off froze the little bit of condensation outside the sweep of the wipers.

Can someone explain to me the fundamental difference between writing 'Loan' at the top of a column, then writing 12 lots of monthly repayments, tapping the same numbers into a calculator and writing the result at the bottom and typing the monthly payments into Excel, typing 'Loan' in the cell next to the top one, duplicating it next to all the other by selecting the cells and pressing CTRL-D, then creating a pivot table by pressing ALT-D, P and a few mouse clicks? The second is 'reproducing the cashbook', apparently.

But then he did dismiss me trying to show him how I got a column full of consecutive numbers without typing each one individually as 'technical stuff'.

I was tempted to put my work PC outside his office door...

Was he fashioning a crows' feather into a quill pen as he said this?

Rural crime news.....I doubt it was abandoned by its user, it's half a mile from the nearest sign of civilisation...

Must be serious, the police are preserving the scene with their famously impenetrable tape.

Was a right old pea-souper here early doors. Was supposed to head off down to the Great Smoke, but have switched to doing so on Friday. Turned over and went back to sleep. Will go out for a spin on the bike later as I've got a new route I'd like to try. And this evening I'll pootle off to Tesco for a spot of yellow stickering, seeings I could use a loaf of bread and some milk anyway.

Off to have lunch now, need to see what's lurking in the fridge.

I have been talking to my next door neighbour. Very sadly, her daughter has split up from her husband, and moved in next door with her daughter (my neighbour's grand daughter).

I am not really seeking advice as to what to say to them, when I see them. I would like to ask you if it is acceptable to just say nothing, and carry on as "normal"?

I think that is what I would want people to do, if I was in that sad situation.

Can you guess which species of bird just flew from the bird table, there is a hint of it left of shot?

 

[Speicher]

That would be the lesser spotted woodpecker. You can't see it.

Egrets are white... Looks like some kind of LBJ...

I have just posted a huge journal the wrong way round because I am an idiot.

Mrs Postman helps me. She usually says,You have no chance i'm going shopping this morning.

A little chilly, around 4c but rising to 6 or 7c later, but mainly it's just

I was too hot in school with a jumper and extra top!

Might even get a bike out in a bit

Jealous.

I can confirm that it is sunny but a little bit nippy, just back from my first ride of 2017, in fact my first ride since November 23rd last year

I am now cream crackered.

Awesome. You picked the right day for it.

 

[Salty seadog]

Had a puncture today. That's 2 in 3 days. One on the mountain bike. And now this.

Bit more expensive.
