I can’t find anything about this on the web, apart from a passing mention. It’s assumed that if you were born here, that you are fully signed up to the whole package and you don’t need to go through any ceremony or daily recitation at school. |

Only Android 7.0, apart from that, it looks fairly standard fair, but the keyboard is a nice touch. |

Has anyone had actual proper snow? Here in Nottingham we had some on Sunday night and some brief flurries on Monday morning but it had all gone by lunchtime. Again what looked like a heavy fall this morning but its nearly all melted already. |

Yes. I did take some half-hearted pictures, but they're not worth sharing. Living in the Medway Towns, right on top of the North Downs, we were bang in line with the southern stream of the stuff. During the night we got about two centimetres, which has been topped up by passing showers during the day to a healthy 20cm or so. |

It's started to settle here in Nottingham, but only because we had a light snowfall yesterday evening which then froze overnight. Today it's been cloudy and overcast so all the subsequent snow which has come in light patches throughout the day has consolidated. At the moment though, it will only take a couple of hours of sunshine and it will all be gone. However we were planning on seeing friends in Whitby this weekend. Unless conditions "Up North" on the moors improve significantly tomorrow, we'll have to give that a miss. |

Just been offered a grandfather clock for free. Judging by the photos, it should fit down stairs! So at some point, we'll be collecting it. |

Works IT system fail meant that I did not get notified of a change in location of a meeting. Its a win as I just went home and worked from there - so was in when a new laptop was delivered and of course "commuted" in company time - so clocked off at 4 o'clock |

Managed to revive a cuckoo clock. One of mine had failed - it had just stopped running, and the hands were absolutely jammed. I figured there would be some grit in the mechanism that would be stopping this. So I left it. Clock repairs are costly, and I had just forked out on getting computers repaired/replaced. Anyway, I was looking at it yesterday, and wondering if there was anything I could do. If I applied more force to the chain that powers the clock mechanish, it would start to work. So, I thought, there must be something that is stopping the mechanism from moving the hands. Hands in clocks are not always fixed firmly to the spindles they are on. Anyway, so irrational idea crossed my mind that I should check the nut that holds the hands in place. It was very, very tight. When I released it (with a pair of small pliers), the clock started working. I also found that the nut was actually two parts. One to hold the hands in place, and one which is probably cosmetic. Both had slightly different guages, and fitted in a precise way. It seemes that as the hands moved, they were tightening these two and they were acting as a braking mechanism on the hands. So, after a little thinkng and looking, I believe I have them both back in place as they should be. The clock has been running for well over a day now. So, I’m happy about that. |

Made a suggestion for an engineering improvement on the rig. Not only did they give me a crisp £50 note for such a good suggestion, but they're actually going to install it after this well has finished. That almost always never happens. Usually good ideas that cost money go on the back burner.
