Out of cheese error

A recent request for gaelic coffee had me scurrying down to the Co-op for a pot of cream. Yes, we're prepared for any eventuality here.
Most of the day, however, was spent wrestling with a recalcitrant computer program. I can't be too rude about the author of this software though as it was me. Lorna knits interesting wooly creations and I knit interesting wooly programs. Hers may well have more practical value in the long run.

Todays's software train-smash was a procedure to close the accounts for year 2004-2005. The fact that our financial year ended on the 31st of October last year and I'm only now writing closing entries is not entirely my fault - I had to wait for adjustments and stuff from the accountant.
Anyway, the "closing the books" procedure was badly written. Extraordinarily badly written. I found myself looking at blocks of code in total bewilderment thinking "what halfwit wrote this nonsense!" and then remembering that I did. I wrote most of it three years ago when I knew very little about accounting and not much more about Delphi programming.

Anyway. It's done, the books are closed and all the entries seem to make sense. It's a diversion from the building site.

Ah, you were wondering about that? Well, apart from a brief visit from the joiners to finish the temporary platform nothing today. Tomorrow the blacksmiths will arrive with their scissor hoist and the remaining steelwork will be fitted. Also, the plumber will be here to start the replacement of the water main. There may be some other activity, but I wouldn't place any bets.
