Bloody typical! Working all weekend, and the weather is really nice now. Currently 67°F (19°C), a real gorgeous blue sky day.
I got home from work and, after showering, had a delicious salmon salad my wife made. Then I did some hoeing in the garden and planted out some marrows. Now I need another shower!
It’s a mundane Monday morning. Grey, damp, dreary, depressing. Quiet at work though. I am done at three, so hoping the quiet continues.
Well, It’s Tuesday. That means it’s not Monday, although, really, every day seems much the same sometimes. After today, there is just tomorrow to do, and then I have a four day break, which I always look forward to.
I suppose some would look at this like it’s a Friday. However, once I finished work today, it’s my long weekend off, until next Monday. I get four days to do stuff that I actually enjoy doing!
Wouldn’t it be a wonderful world, if people bought and consumed products on the basis of real quality rather than marketing bullshit?
I got up with my wife at 6.15 am, helped her get ready for work, and saw her off. Then, without even stopping for a coffee, I went to the garden and did some watering before the sun came out, and while it was still cool at only 61°. I then did a bunch of weeding.
Then the hard labour part - dragged some old railway sleepers across the patio, as I’m going to make a raised bed with those in the near future. NOW, I have got a mug of coffee and can chill at the computer for a while.
I’m not really into sports. Here’s a video explaining the psychology.
A week or two ago, I managed to jam up the paper shredder with a plastic-coated label. I had to take the whole thing apart to get all the plastic bits out, but I’ve got it working again now. We always shred important documents, address labels, and envelopes.
I’m on my 4th mug of coffee now. It’s 1.15 pm here.
It’s a warm sunny day here. It’s already 77°F (26°C) at 11 am. I’ve been outside and mown the lawn a little while back before it got too warm, but still worked up a sweat and had to take another shower!
I’ve just seasoned and seared some short beef ribs, wrapped them in foil with some garlic, onions, and chimichurri, and put them in a slow oven for 4.5 hours. That gives me time to go and have a lunchtime pint at the local.
I just got an email to pre-order my Christmas potatoes. As it’s first come, first served, I put in the order. They’ll be here the first or second week of July. They were quite successful last year, and you can’t beat homegrown.
It’s been a while since we went out in the evening to see some live music. It was a great time out, with good music, good food and good beer. We couldn’t stay late as my wife has work this morning, but we really enjoyed it.
Home alone with no plans? That’s me today. Just seen my wife off to work, and now I’m sitting at the computer with a large mug of coffee, and it’s kinda nice to know I don’t have any pressure to do anything. I will get some things done around the house, probably, but I’ve no obligations today
I just did a deep-level virus scan of my M4 Pro Mac Mini. Took a little while, but there were 1.3m files in total.
