    Morning all.

    A misty, verging on foggy, start to the morning.

    1 degC according to the car this morning. Had to de-frost the windscreen. But not the side windows? Why is that? If it;s cold enough to freeze on the windscreen why is there only dew on the door windows?

    Some lovely sunrise views on the way in to client co. Sadly no chance etc stop for a picture and no doubt if I get out early on the bike, when I would be able to stop, it will be damp and horrible again.

      The windscreen sees the 3K microwave background whereas the side windows see the rather warmer surroundings.

      At least that's one explanation I've seen.

        Lovely morning but clouds on the horizon, heading over from Merkeydive.

          As it happened the three hour document review was terminated after an hour due to the fire alarms in the building where most of the guys were going off. Conference bridge was closed and never re-opened.

          Which means I have the rest of it this afternoon

            Clear and blue here in Nottingham. 3 degrees outside as I took CovToddler to nursery.

              Today I have 2 hours of calls with the IT project managers to explain what happened in the calls yesterday that they weren't able to attend
              because they were on other calls finding out about other things they had missed on calls they couldn't attend
              because they were on other calls finding out about other things they had missed on calls they couldn't attend
              because... etc

              Death by meeting/project mismanagement.

                  Possibly.

                  Do I come here often?

                    Morning denizens

                    Sunny out, but a bit chilly:still only 6°C

                    I am informed by Royal Mail that they will attempt delivery of An Item, some time between an hour ago and three hours hence. Narrows it down a bit, I suppose
