      Death by Power BI for me

        tonight's modest repast was a nicely marbled rare sirloin steak, with chips and peas.

        by virtue of having a change of afternoon beer venue to the one next door to the best butcher for miles around.

        very nice indeed.

          Tea/dinner this evening was M&S battered haddock.

          It really irritates me that it sticks like glue to the non stick frying pan I'm now using after consigning the previous one to recycling.

          I suspect that the current frying pan had the tender mercies of Strangelove Mater involved in its early inception, thusly leading to the apparent loss of nonstickness now experienced.

          Unlike the previous frying pan, the ring doesn't have to be turned up to 11, so I suspect it's been overheated at some time.

          I may have to buy another.

          Following this excitement I lit a nice bonfire & smoked the neighbourhood out, after which I stank of smoke.

          After a shower, I still seem to stink of smoke but it'll have to wear off on its own.

            Ribs and chips for tea, and very nice too

            Still raining off and on, though I think more on than off

              This evening's entertainment began with 17 minutes of "The Prestige" which was supplanted by "The Double (2011)" with Richard Gere.

              The Double (2011) - IMDb

              As it transpires I'd seen some of it before on tv.

              It was ok in a fairly confusing sort of way.

              One of my few blurays.

              Decided to wash the overalls and jeans and shirt due to the stink but the Logik machine on express hasn't done much of a job and the TD wanted another hour to dry the damn things which it didn't get since I'm going to bed & don't want to listen to it singing its song of completion at 01:00.

                Tonight's main feature was Boiler Room (2000), which was OK; not as much fun as The Wolf of Wall Street, which covers similar ground, but a solid enough story.

                Goodnight all

                    After air drying overnight, the overalls & jeans are back in the TD, with an expected exit of about 09:15, being about 30 minutes after I put them back in.

                    This is, of course, completely illusory since the damn thing comes up with seemingly random times to completion depending on its mood at that moment.

                    Morning.

                    Grey.

                    No current precipitation.

                    Sunless.

                    Notsowindy.

                    Slightly warmer side of unexpectedly coolish.

                    Still November.
