What have you done today thread?

[ZRX61]

Bought oil & filter for the Accord. Had a slight struggle getting the ZRX onto the rear stand, thought I was gonna follow-through for a moment. Loud fart, pants clean & intact.

I was up really late as got hooked on the current (that I'm watching!) series of Shield!! So had a lie in.

Then tried a nice mug of coffee and decided to cook a 'recipe' amount of rice in the IP. Hasn't gone to plan So I've put it back in for a couple of mins. Only wanted to freeze it in portion sizes so I can fry it when I want it!! Should have just carried on as normal

Got to find some chicken in the freezer so I can make lemon chicken for tea!! With some of the rice

Took the ride of shame: failed MOT.

Rear brake pads, roughly the thickness of a Rizla. Fronts an advisory.

I have a memory of changing all the pads sat in the warm sunshine during lockdown so never even bothered looking at them, only a cursory look at the lights prior to taking it to the garage. Must have been the year before when I changed them. I think 2020 has messed with my head more than I thought it had...

Just done the online application for the residency permit/card for France. Been putting it off as I hate doing that sort of admin. But, hopefully they'll allow me to continue living here!!

Either that or I need the Irish Certificate of Foreign Birth to come through asap so I can get an Irish Passport!!

Either option will do!! LOL

On paper, I am too, but not counting on it until I have it in my sticky mitt!!

In theory, I can get residency here and the French have been really good. Would only be a short term on to start but once I have it, I just have to keep renewing it. My worry is that the business hasn't made any money yet so that could be a sticking point!

Had I not smacked my head on the tarmac the summer before last, then bought a minibus that blew up - the associated stresses wouldn't have happened so I would have had the Irish one by now!! LOL

Just crossing fingers that one or the other or both works out. I have just received email confirmation of my application, so that's the first step!

That's been a cracking wheeze by the Irish government. When they collect the €627.80 poll tax for all new ex pats in 2022 they'll be minted.

Hey, if I have to pay 'something' to be able to do my job here (can't do it with a UK passport), then I will!! 627.80€ is a tad high for not living there tho!!

But I can apply for French nationality in a year's time (not really the plan, but might be necessary if I want to stay )

Christmas decs boxed & returned to attic
Wally World for vittles
Trip to Rosamond to get something not available locally
Tested new 4in wide razor scraper on mineral stained windows
Baking 4 taters in the oven to go with steak for early dinner
Gassed up at Costco, saved $7.20 over going to the next cheapest place which is $0.45 more per gallon.
Ate a few snorker rolls
Hit the bank for a wodge of spondulix

And then a quick trip to Arco to fill the propane tank so the steak can be grilled...

Planted our garlic today, just in time for it to be kicked off by the cold snap coming in the next few days.

Tomorrow riding mtb's with Mrs irie in about 0C which should be 'interesting'.

Been out this morning on the MTB on the dunes in cock all warmth and high winds. Did about 16-17 miles , helped rescue a seal pup that had escaped from the beach to the public track and managed to get across one piece of deep sand that has stumped me for fucking months as its really deep and fine. I normally either run out of momentum and bog down/run of of ability and skill and crash. managed to get the right balance, weight shift and spinning gear to get across it today ......

Did the seal do the deep sand then ?
