21 February 2025 (Friday)

Awake at five bongs then back to sleep until 6.40, when Richard got up.

We both had a desk morning - Richard checking through our YouTube uploads, adding thumbnails on early ones, decluttering our Playlists and unlisting a few older videos that he feels adds nothing to the channel.  Me, I’m doing mainly work work again…  That work / life balance!?!

The cough continues, maybe a little less frequently today.

I need to go through a whole load of notes in the afternoon, which I have occasionally done on my tablet while watching an episode of Murder She Wrote. Today, it's the first ever episode of Endeavour. The good thing is, knowing these classic series so well, I can get on with what I'm needing to do whilst also having some company in the background; a bit like listening to an old friend chattering away at you whilst your mind both listens to them and wonders onto other things. I guess it's a bit like mum when she always used to have television on.

Richard's doing a Live at 6pm, so I've taken out some baked beans from the freezer to thaw, and we'll have this with couscous and some chunks of cucumber.


Weather:  Wet, though a very mild start.  Still blustery and a high of 15°.

Breakfast:  Bran sticks, yogurt and a banana
Lunch:  A soup of softened Lentils, leftover soup, miso and some leftover tinned baked beans mashed, Egg Mayonnaise, Richard's bread & Cucumber
Supper:  Baked Beans, Wholewheat Couscous and chunks of cucumber
