Travelling On

Cheery_Daff

Definitely a good plan with the different postures! I've created a standing desk (just by sticking a box on top of my existing desk...) and tend to use that in the morning, but I can't manage standing all day, so shift between that and sitting back down (with occasional wanders outside to see the chickens...). Still do far too much sitting down overall though!

Chickens and gardens and stairs all work really well, don't they?  I was up and down like a mad thing while talking to bruv, he was asking about my fencing issues, and I had to see my own fence to describe it correctly, ha!

I've tidied huge amounts of previous prunings, and done more, but not that much - then a little bit of a walk and a tidy upstairs.  There's *got* to be vacuum cleaner use up there!  Roasting some tatties and onions a la Jamie Oliver would go down very well too.

Lockdown win today: used one of my old stainless steel oven tins, a la Jamie Oliver's latest series - fried fresh onions and frozen sweet peppers on the hob in the oven tin, chucked some tatties in, oil and lots of herbs and tomato puree.  Then went to watch "Escape to the Chateau DIY" omg, it was delicious.

Well done with the traybake KC! I'm well impressed with your cheffy endeavours!

Thanks all!  I'm pretty impressed with this one myself, RT   thats not but it tasted splendiferous - I can certainly forego pesto if I can make stuff like that   No leftovers I'm afraid, apple, it was kind of a proof of concept

My Sainsbo click and collect was this morning - still lots of things I couldn't get, but eggs, butter and gluten free pasta were available, so thats good.  Felt very lucky to have found a collect spot, I'm not in any special category so I just get the ordinary offers.   Tired after all that, though, so I'm going to be careful about how much I do, certainly nothing in the garden.  Though a little walk up and down the road might be nice

Yesterday was nearly all about the cleaning, using my splendiferous £90 vacuum cleaner that I got from John Lewis a few months ago (thank you JL).  Astonishing the difference it makes.  It was also about backing up the computer, because its not only switching itself off, but its nearly dying.  Almost done - and if it does, I have my email on my phone, so I can reset my password on here if need be Though my posts will be a *lot* shorter than

Today ... wow, the sun is glorious.  And some of my calendula have sprouted!  Not the nasturtium or the kale yet, but we can hope.  For a bit, anyway

Today, hmmm, today is the day to get going with a routine for handwashing the stuff that can't go in the dishwasher, or needs more than the dw can do.  I'm looking at you, stainless steel baking tray with gunk cooked on, and you, bamboo chopping board.  Safety-glass-from-the-old-fridge chopping board too, come to that. Finish off the backing up.  Check the accounts.  Even 15 minutes in the garden would help.  Lockdown is long, isn't it.

Would a defrag and refrag help the computer?

Karmacat

I've defragged quite a few times, apple, thanks.  Not sure what a refrag is, to be honest!  I'll have a look.  But like I've said - its 10 years old, Windows 7, the paint has worn from the keyboard as well as a few of the keypads - its on its way out.
