None of that will matter,the chip will allow you to find ways around your deeply antisocial behaviours. :thumbup:

I'd made a loose plan to go walking this morning - for sunrise. I sleep with the window open cos I like fresh air not stuffy air

The alarm went off at 6am and again at 6.30am. Temperature was about -14 (have a thermometer on the outside of the apartment) so I got up and closed the window and went back to the warm for a bit!!! It's one thing to like to breathe fresh air but to get up and be persuaded to go outside in that temperature is not so easy!! LOL

Anyway - I did get up not too much later. Have made the filling for some spring rolls and the pancakes are defrosting ready for me to try to put them together!!

Plan is to have a go at making cinnamon rolls later. And putting some pork in to marinade to make a char sui type thing tomorrow :D

I didn't do a lot this weekend and so no feel I need to make myself do things so I can persuade my brain to be more positive!!!

Thank you. I'm quietly chuffed with them! Never made them before :D

The baking is more mental health than physio, but it is good for my shoulder too! The physio was really happy today and so was I, initially - but then he worked on my and now I hurt!! LOL LOL

Finished an assignment. Sorted out the new tyres, tubes and brake pads on what will be my bicycle once I get seat post to shift. It seems to be rusted in place at the moment, which is annoying! Still, the bike is decent and the new Schwalbe tyres are nicer than those I've removed.

I has the most prefect poop this afternoon, everything departed without fuss, pain, splatter, straining or blood. Minimal clean up etc. Not something that happens every day, or every month for that matter.

Finally got the new battery tray fitted in the boat having glued the stringers in yesterday. I also glued some timber battens under the gunwales and this morning fitted some clamps to them to hold the engine remotes tidy and out of the way. It's moving on!

Started the day in a way I hoped wouldn't continue -

Coffee
Glass of water
Berocca fizz bomb

Guess where I put the Fizz bomb :roll: :roll:


For info - berocca in coffee is NOT a taste sensation in a good way! :lol: :lol: :lol:

But things have improved - I've made bao buns (or Bao - as some lovely lady on FB pointed out!!) with bbq pork filling. Some more Chelsea Bus - proper size this time!

Met with some friends to chat whilst their kids did Judo

Got a couple of hours to finish the Bao and Chelsea Buns and chill before going to phsyio! :banana-dance:

Since the front end is missing on my bike,I took the opportunity to clean the brake calipers/under headstock and all the stuff I normally can't get at. Even the underside of the front mudguard is spotless.

I win the Weeksy OCD award for Wednesday. :thumbup:
