@Deathraystare, they had the tree lighting in Rockefeller Center in NYC last night. I believe they got this year's tree from somewhere in Canada. We haven't put our tree up yet at home. Perhaps this weekend, we'll do that.
There's not much new here. Our new Bosch dishwasher is coming tomorrow, and the plumber is coming over to look at our gas piping. Apparently, the furnace is not getting enough gas pressure as the pipes they put in when the house was built in the 1980s were too small. We now have a gas water heater, gas stove, and gas clothes dryer in addition to the furnace. So that's another home improvement project that's coming up.
DH chatted yesterday with his manager about getting a pay rise due to the organization offering more money for a similar role in another department. According to DH, it went well. They didn't say no. I think they'll have to do something as they know he's retiring next year and need him to hire and train his replacement.
@MyrtleStrumpet, my DH also works in IT but doesn't do software development.
It's lovely to see you, @ZZTopGuitarSolo, I'm so glad you found the thread.
I'm glad the new job is going well, @Penguinsn and that you're back to swimming.
I'm so pleased I did the trial for Britbox. There are several seasons of Sherlock available that I haven't seen before, and a Britbox comedy series called The Change is about a 50-year-old woman who leaves her husband and kids to live in a caravan in the woods. It's quite funny.
