What have you done today thread?

[Wreckless Rat]

Woke up with a raging cold.
Sore throat, snotty nose, feel like shit.

I think it is actually a cold and not covid, in fact covid would be a total bastard, I've ordered a load of exciting parts for my bike and I'll be extremely pissed off if I die before I've fitted them

Dibs on your bikes.

I haz been inoculerated with the covidz today.

[the_priest]

Woke up far too early (6am) with the cat sitting on my chest enquiring as to my desire to feed him. He won. I then did some reading and listened to music in my study with a double espresso.

Today I''ve taken a "backup" oil heater to the Church as the boiler has now gone "pop"... Funeral on Wednesday, so we are putting various heaters in the main body of the Church to try and get at least a 3C degree difference. People have been told to dress warmly!

Finished up a meditation which I recorded for the closed Facebook church group and also sorted out some readings for a recording tonight.

Yay - my physio is back to work Boooooo - he needles a muscle on the left side of my neck TBF, the physio in the valley commented that the left side was more tense that the right on Friday. Maybe I've been trying so hard to keep the right side from completely cramping up that I've been tensing the left? Who knows

Either way - I do hate the dry needling. The end result about 36 hours later is good. But at the time, Yikes it's not nice at all!!


Trying to get my brain in gear for my French lesson

After yesterday's gluttony we had a nice lunch at Playa Blanca then watched the rising tide fill the rock pools at the lighthouse.

Could have lost a potential $330,000....
Was buying my usual lottery tickets today & had a couple of free replays for Fantasy Five for matching 2/5 twice last week.

Get home & about 30 minutes later I'm entering the 2nd Chance numbers into the lottery computer system.. notice they didn't give me the two freebies.

Head back to store, gal had gone home & the other gal was there. She starts looking everywhere for the two freebies & then starts looking in the trash.
All the tickets in there had CASHED in big black letters.. including one of mine as I recognized the (birthday) numbers.. & then there were two tickets with today's date on them for tonight's game.. so the silly bugger had printed them out & then thrown them in the trash with the cashed in tickets.

JUst had a senior moment...

Discovered I had left the pizza on the cardboard base when I put it in the oven. For once I had also used the round aluminum pizza thing & all that happened was the bottom needs a few more minutes.

On the upside I've just been informed that from now on I'm not allowed to cook pizza, so I'll take that as a win.

Gave it another 5min & it came out perfect..

Dibs on your bikes.

Covid test was negative, so as suspected I just have a rotten cold, first once since having (what I think was) covid in Feb last year.
Usually I'd be whining about man flu but even though I feel rough this is a walk in the park compared to whatever it was I had last Feb.

I'm still staying at home until it's gone though, some rotten sod had this and still went out, which is how I caught it, so I'll try and break the chain.

Good but also a shame, I was hopeful for your bikes. Dagnabbit.

I'm struggling... unless he's bought something else, he can keep them.

Quick visit to the nurse at the medical centre.

Having a play fight with my cat yesterday and he got a bit of red mist and bit me on the back of the hand which served me right.

Of course it swelled right up and went bright red.

Mrs S told me to go to the doc otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. Although I do know of a 5 year old boy that died from the infection after a cat bite.

Tetanus shot and some antibiotics and I was on my way.

Made a start on getting the triple sorted and ready, for what not sure just ready. by that I mean I attempted to fix the heated grips and found the culprit, removed the rear passenger pegs and fitted the Evo-Tech blanking plates, looks smarter now I think. The bike needs a bloody good clean.

When I got bitten by a cat, it involved the doctor in A&E cutting the bites out of the back of my hand, intravenous antibots and an overnight stay in hospital
Then having an allergic reaction to the antibot tablets they gave me to take away! LOL

Can be really quite nasty apparently! Glad you just needed a shot!

Today I've been having another office day!

LOTS of stuff sorted for the accountant. Requests put in to various places for stuff I don't have! I hate paperwork. Need to get more organised so that next year I don't just throw a pile of 'stuff' at them and then have to find other stuff. Need to be much more organised - not something I can do for myself Am pretty good at sorting offices that aren't mine but have a major mental block doing my own stuff Maybe if it was actually an office and not having to be done on my sofa it might be different


Packed up a parcel that came for a friend - well, unpacked from the huge box it arrived in and made a smaller box, filled out the customs declaration. Heading to the PO in the morning to send it to the UK. Handy for a few people that I live here and can post stuff back to the UK that companies out here sometimes won't!


Cut my hair!

Doesn't make any difference to how it looks from the front but it's lots shorter at the back so maybe easier to manage under hat, scarf, mask, glasses etc (always gets caught up in stuff and makes the back look messy and rubbish)!! LOL Still can't do decent hair styles cos the right hand doesn't go high enough, but at least the one I can do one handed suits me!! LOL

Wen5t to bed with a raging cold.
Sore throat, snotty nose, feel like shit.

Feel fine this morning, well fine-ish.

I'm fairly sure it wasn't covid. Nor have I been snogging Iccy.
I do wonder how I can fecking catch anything at the moment though as I don't go within sneezing distance of anyone ...

Had my test this morning. Very efficient but that bleeding probe thing definitely touched the back of my eyeballs.

Turns out I'm negative for covids anyway. But I still managed to catch a cold despite masks, handwashing and treating others like lepers ....

[the_priest]

Today was busy. Up fairly early, rehearsed committal rites for burial. Went to Church early (just as well) got parking and then set up for funeral. The deceased was one of the senior members of the local gypsy family, so there were quite a lot of people turning up. Hearse followed by a long train of cars and the horse and carriage setup. They were 15 minutes late, but we expected that. Only 30 people permitted in the Church, there were still over 80 outside. Service went well, we processed out back to the hearse and recited the words of Nunc Dimittus and then once the casket was loaded, vicar and I headed to cemetary to await the hearse. They were processing past the gypsy encampment. It was 40 minutes late to the cemetary, but the manager of cemetary was expecting that and was very generous with his timing. There were in excess of 250 people there and we managed to do the committal properly. They released birds, threw various items into the vault and we left them to grieve.

I then headed back to the Church, brief chat to vicar and went to my other Church where I had to setup the streaming equipment for the funeral tomorrow! We also recorded a Holy Commuion service, so I was able to partake in the feast and when I got home I had a cup of tea and headed straight out to collect my daughter from near a park where she had a distanced meeting with her friend.

Now for pancakes, lots and lots of them and then I'm ready to do the online compline service tonight.

Got the car MoT'd today. Passed.

Which means I'm now back on the road and driving (because I have enough neck movement) Hurrah!

Which means that, on Thursday, I can drive to physio, then on after that for my covid jab - they must have me on the 'vulnerable' list.

I'm pretty sure that it it touches the back of your eyeball then they are pushing the wrong way!!

Can the church get fined for breaking covid laws?

[Silly Car]

I’ve been woodbutchering mostly.

I’ve finished the architraves, scribed, caped and mitred skirting boards, ripped and routed a decorative trim to finish off the pipe boxing. All ready for caulking and painting.

I also turned some architraves into crown moulding / coving by ripping a bevel cut along the length of the back, planting the off cut on the top edge with some fillet strip on the bottom and voila a moulding which matches the skirting and architrave that’ll cover the joint between the wall and ceiling.

Not sure I'd want to be the person trying to tell 220 people to clear off.
