FRIDAY
I actually timed my exercise routine and discovered that I'm actually doing 45 minutes per day without feeling sore the next day so these targeted exercises for toning problem areas are actually working without killing me! I'm in a routine of doing them as soon as I get up each morning while I catch up with news headlines or put on the sport if there is something good live.
My dad and I have decided that we want to get smart tvs so we can go ahead and get Netflix, Disney and maybe Britbox. We can then ditch the TV licence. Having to pay one tv channel (BBC) for the right to watch satellite, cable and rival channels is a crazy system. I don't ever watch BBC so why should I have to pay them over £150 a year for the right to watch live TV on other channels??? It's mental. So if the government don't get rid of the system, I'm getting rid of the system. I'd do it now but none of the TV selling shops are currently doing installations because of the virus and my dad and I struggle with new tech so we can't do it ourselves! I guess we need to wait!
Read a poor so called creature feature book tonight. I was expecting megalodons and sea monsters eating lots of cruise ship passengers but it was a poor parody of a creature feature. Gay porn star is constantly stripping off and discussing her sex life, redneck racists harrass a bisexual Muslim girl, the three heroes are a bad version of action heroes who can't act, the jokes are corny and the passengers are idiots. Gah. Won't read anything else by this author.
SATURDAY
I've been making cheese and ham toasties on a toastie maker for the best part of fifteen years and while the edges get nice and brown and crispy, I'm always left with the rest of it looking pale and tasting of soft white bread, which is disappointing. Imagine my surprise to read an online article that says to get all over golden toasties that are crisper, smear butter on the top and bottom panels of the toastie maker. Huh. Why did I not know this??? What hole have I been living in all this time??? I did it and the overall toastie experience was much improved. Wish I'd known this fifteen years ago...
Got two exciting Game of Thrones T Shirts in the post today! My dad and I both got the same two-a Tyrion one and a Ghost vs the White Walkers one. Very happy with sizing and quality! I love my Game of Thrones T-Shirt collection! I have 16 of them!
Tonight I really enjoyed reading a book called The Jaws File. Carl Gottlieb, the writer of Jaws, kept a diary through the filming and then turned it into a book. He also plays Meadows, the newspaper guy in the film who gets the photo of everyone with the shark at the dock. It was fun to read all the details of everything going wrong! Nice 4 star read there.
MONDAY
*groans* What a morning. I got up at 7am to fit in my 45 minutes of exercise before my dad got up-there's so little space, I have to get it done while the room is empty! It is against the laws of man to do exercise that early! By 8am I was already knackered and had to get the first load of washing on for the 60 degree wash, feed the birds and squirrels and tidy the kitchen ready for the delivery from Asda. It came at 9am and had to be unpacked at the door, dragged to the kitchen, unpacked, washed down with alcohol spray and then put away. Next it was load two of the washing for the 40 degree wash. The next item was to handwash a few T Shirts, then get them on a spin cycle before I could hang them up. Finally at midday I was able to have a shower and get some food. Utter chaos!
Congrats on the exercise! The more regularly I exercise the better I feel though that doesn't mean it's never a struggle to actually do it! That's crazy about the TV situation. When we were in Memphis we just used streaming and it was amazing how quickly we got used to it. Back at home our internet isn't quite as strong so we are a little hesitant to switch over but if we ever get fiber we are making the jump!
ReplyDeleteThis lockdown is just really getting to me. I've been pretty much in my house since last February and been out in public on just a small number of occasions. I miss being able to just go shopping for a TV or something that I need!
DeleteI need to get a smart TV too. I watch a lot on the computer and we have a TV where we get a fair amount of channels, plus we have Netflix, but a smart TV would let us do more. I hear you!
ReplyDeleteAww that's a bummer, I could use a good sea monster book also!!!
It's frustrating that it could be the end of the year or next year before I can go back to doing normal stuff like buy a TV and have someone fit it!
DeleteWe got rid of cable TV a long time ago. We have Netflix and a few other services. I don't watch TV but the rest of my family does. Good for you for making exercise a priority! I love your Game of Thrones shirts!
ReplyDeleteI get up in the morning at times and don't want to exercise but I'm forcing myself to do it anyway! I so much want to get lockdown out of the way and get a couple of smart tv's fitted! We're asking the neighbours if any know a tv engineer willing to do the job!
DeleteCongrats on keeping with the exercise and even more so on getting up so early to do it. I really need that Ghost tee!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a cute T shirt isn't it! I love my GoT T shirt collection and Ghost was just a must have!
