We had a gentle start to the day. I came down first for some coffee and to read the news; Di came down a bit later.
After seeing something on Facebook, my brain clicked into gear and started to think about a program for producing timelines from a database. I spent several hours looking at simple options using Excel, and other tools but couldn't find an existing solution that fitted my requirements. What requirements? you may ask. Well, there's the rub. There are no real requirements, it was purely a mental exercise with no "real world" pressing need. After a couple of hours, I gave up - other than designing the underlying database. I can feel the need to write some code soon. Whether it has anything to do with this or not is a different matter, but I need to write some code.
We had a quiet afternoon with our books so that we were chilled and ready for the excitement of the England vs. Spain final of the Euros.
