Looks like ms#3 may be moving out (he moved back in two and a half years ago for two weeks...). One of his plumbing customers has a self contained granny annex and wants a lodger.

There's a song in there somewhere.

I had the remains of Sunday's beef, with mash, swede, brocolli, carrots & peas.

Hence today's <pffffft> though not as prolific as lentil <pfffffft> soup <pfffffft> of course.

No flatulence thankfully.

Am wondering how long this enthusiasm for exercise will last.

Am keen to shift a few kilos that piled on during the last contract.

Then there's this weirdo:

Morning!

Last night I saw my niece sing in front of an audience (with her school) - she was brilliant. Not just singing with the usual stiff, bored look, but she put loads of expression and feeling into it. I was blown away how professional she looked. They had a couple of cello/violinists perform which were a bit screechy but then this solo violinist started to play this gypsy music tech showcase with a pianist. Once again, blown away how gifted she was. I went into the theatre with GF#1 moaning about how rubbish this was going to be and came out totally blown away with a big smile on my face!

Had a good game of Dino Horde - 6 up and once I got the turret gun out, there was carnage! Adios, compys.

Cooking toad in the hole for GF#1 tonight - retro Fridays. My Sierra Nevada Torpedo is still bubbling away! Haven't even dry hopped it yet.

My eLiquid mixing kit has arrived - going to make rum and coke, pina colada and caramel coffee flavours!

One big day of testing to get this GESD algorithm working then it's an early beer o'clock around 3pm!

Was going to order a beer kit, but that's now on hold till Mr N is up and running again. So in the meantime I'll continue collecting bottles with the flip tops which should be useful when we finally get round to it.

Need to purchase some wings and ribs for tomorrow's beer fest.

Will brine the wings before putting the spicy marinade on them tomorrow and the ribs will be marinaded tonight.

I have something working!

That's "working" in the sense of getting error messages from the API about me misconfiguring things, rather than error messages about my code not actually working at all when trying to talk to the API. I'll take it

The trick is to find something that you actually enjoy. If it's just exercise for the sake of it you will get fed up with it very quickly.

5 or 6 kilos can be shifted quite quickly just with diet and being a bit more active. Aim for a kilo a week and you should find it easy.

Mine is creeping up. Got to get into my party frock in 3 weeks, so will make a real effort to get back down by then.
