Blog2019 ≫ Cold and damp out there but could be worse

May run in a minute. Last time I said this I chickened it at the last minute and used the treadmill instead though... Got to give it a go to see if I'm good for parkrun this week.

First day of the christmas holidays for the boys. Did they have a lie-in this morning? They were up earlier than on a school day, rushing their breakfast so they could go on the Nintendo Switch. We said no, take it to grandpa's with you today. So they will get about four hours each of gaming instead of the hour they'd be allowed at home...

Just trying to keep things in order at work, not make any bold (risky) changes right before the christmas break. The christmas break is right before our peak trading period, when everyone books holidays, so we want no risky changes from about today for the next six weeks. OK, just one more experimental refactoring...

Does this mean we should start booking our holiday for next year right after christmas too? Maybe!

Have not slept well the last three days, I wonder if there is a connection between having a fairly late cup of marmite drink and it? I thought I had ruled this out once before. Will try canning it tonight, but still no booze, and see how that works out.
