Refactoring

There was no need for an early start. I wandered downstairs to consume the overnight news along with a coffee. Diane followed down a while later. It was a nice gentle start.

I had my weekly call with the cousins. There didn't seem to be a flow to the call nor a theme to the various ramblings this week. We did, however, get to talk briefly about the lunch being organised for May. This triggered my coding juices again. More about that in a minute.

It was a bright and sunny morning and looked ideal for walking. There were several items I had forgotten to pick up in Sainsbury's on Thursday, so I grabbed a shopping bag, plugged in my AirPods, and walked to Shripney. It was a lovely temperature for walking, and by sticking to the back roads, it was quiet enough to enjoy my book. With the shopping collected, I headed back. As I walked into the Crescent, Ellie called. She was out playing with her friend; we stopped for a chat before they carried on, and I returned home.

Diane was sewing in her sewing room, so I sat down in my study. My coding juices were flowing, and I wanted to improve on the program I had written earlier this week. I spent several hours refactoring the code and adopting some different techniques. I haven't finished, but I'm very satisfied with the progress.

After lunch, with Di still in her sewing room, I retired to the Orangery with my Kindle. It was fairly warm at first, but as the sun weakened behind some high clouds, the temperature dropped. I headed for the lounge and continued to read there until it was time to start on dinner.
