I've filled up the Triumph Tiger with Fuel for a trip over to Wales tomorrow. My current Client want me to check out some Offices & Warehouses for lease in Cwmbran and St Mellons so I get to go on a jaunt :)

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

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 :think:

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.

We do occasionally drive to get it, but i think that's been twice in the last year.

You need to move, somewhere like the Canary Islands? Yorick doesn't complain of such things :lol:

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.

In best STW tradition, is it not time for a new patio then?

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.

That's gutting. I think the worst thing about the virus situation is to not be able to be with family especially when they are ill :( Huge hugs to you and yours xx

We have seriously limited takeaway options up here. Pizza galore and recently a kebab option

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!! :D
