Wished my Son a happy 27th birthday. Despite his two attempts to not make it thus far, he has, albeit through our intervention...

Re: What have you done today thread?
I had chocolate porridge. Not your shite packet stuff, but Mrs. G.'s concoction which includes oats (obs), good cocoa powder, dates, orange zest, nuts, oatbran and I think dried canberries, all blitzed up and in a bloody great Kilner jar. Made with coconut water, with a dollop of fat-free yogurt on top, it's bloody lovely.
That was before 7am, and since then I've been for a run and come into the office and I'm bloody starvin'. Reading about black pudding and sausages is NOT helping.....

Completed a four hour exam. Online, but observed via webcam by a team for Americans for an internationally accredited CIO thing. If I pass, more opportunities. I’ve also considered handing in my nursing card today too.

Woke up to a £7 Delivroo voucher which was burning a hole in my pocket so fast that I have spent it already.
Pancakes To The Limit. I am otherwise very healthy
To ensure that this appeals to a wider audience (not just pancake lovers) I have just fixed a wibbly threshold and I will take the bike to pick up my Mum's meds later achieving the bike challenge at the same time

That's one of the downsides of living the countryside village. We've not had take away of any description delivered for 10+ years now.Trinity765 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 8:01 am Woke up to a £7 Delivroo voucher which was burning a hole in my pocket so fast that I have spent it already.
We do occasionally drive to get it, but i think that's been twice in the last year.

I'd move tomorrow. Mrs Weeksy is a no. Dunno if it would be the Canaries, more like Granada/Andalucia area for better MTBing. But currently the wife is a no.Trinity765 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 8:08 amYou need to move, somewhere like the Canary Islands?

After a 12hr night shift I'm waiting for the boiler "engineer" to turn up so he can look at our combi that is intermittently only doing luke warm hot water.

We have seriously limited takeaway options up here. Pizza galore and recently a kebab optionweeksy wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 8:04 amThat's one of the downsides of living the countryside village.

The two things I found I REALLY missed were fish n chips and chinese takeaway.
There are a couple of places I can go to have decent fish n chips (not quite the same as takeaway but pretty good!)
But, I ended up learning to cook chinese takeaway - not proper actual Chinese, but takeaway. Which is flipping awesome. Much simpler than I expected and I've started trying more than my standard S&S Chicken balls and special (ish here) rice!! And the other things I'm trying are pretty good too!
Downside is that it's a bit of a trek to get to a shop that actually sells proper ingredients and delivery from the UK is expensive!! LOL But a friend goes there quite often so I sometimes put in an order for when he goes shopping!!
