      Ribs and chips for tea, just for a change

      Still some fireworks going off outside, but overall there haven't been as many as one might have expected, presumably because of people cheating and having them over the weekend.

        Predestination (2014) is an excellent time-travel thriller. In terms of temporal paradoxicality, it’s pretty tricky, but the film does a fine job of presenting the entire story: the problem is how hard your own brain finds it to accept that the sequence (if that’s the right word) of events do, in fact, make their own sense, even if it’s not the sense you’re used to

        And that simultaneously makes it sound more complicated than it is, while ignoring how complicated it is. Where’s the “It bent my brain, but in a good way” smiley

        Anyway, hugely recommended

        Goodnight all

                    Very grey.

                    Very wet.

                    Very windy.

                    It's gonna be an interesting stagger to the bus stop today.

                    I thought Ye Olde Slough of Desponde was prone to howling wind, but The New Improved Slough of Despond seems to howl much more effectively.

                    Dear Deity, it's getting betterer & betterer.

                    The quality of the walls leaves something to be desired.

                    I'm irritated by someone writing on the whiteboard in the other room.

                      Home-baked Greggs sausage roll for lunch

                      And you'll all be pleased/dismayed (delete as appropriate) to hear that Admin has just hired me to sort out the outstanding minor problems with the recent forum upgrade
