    Me: It is
    Her: **Starts to copy and paste his email
    Me: Were you planning on just pasting his whole email into this message?
    Her: Well yes, I need to know why his email is so different
    Me: Have you asked him?
    Her: No, because the plan is different to what he says, I need you to tell me why he is wrong
    Me: He's not. You summarised 6 steps into 2. You also said that it would take 15 minutes when it's about 2 hours
    Her: So why is it not right in the project plan?
    Me: I'd want to ask the project manager that I don't know.

    ...10 mins later an email comes out from her, scheduling a meeting to discuss changing the project plan. The timing of the meeting clashes with tasks in the actual cutover.

      Well I went outside.

      A short queue for M&S and other than no flour (but they did have cornflour, which is what I needed) and no rye sourdough they were well stocked. I bought an 'Irish' soda bread instead even though it's so simple even I can make it myself.

      I was hoping the walk would clear the headache. Sadly not.

        A little mouse whispered in my ear to say that the Late Zeitghost formed much the same opinion.

            Can't beat a good meta-meeting.

                    Decided to watch The Gold Rush, a 1942 Charlie Charles Chaplin classic, as it's free with my Curzon membership.

                      Raining hard here. I was about to take Millie out for a walk between my 4pm and 5pm calls, but then the rain came on, so it'll be 6 before she gets out
                      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
