Thanks everyone who gave advice on rice cookers.
I’m thinking of buying a rice cooker, are they worth the money? I’m actually not bad at cooking rice on the gas hob but anything for an easy life. 🍚
I would appreciate it if my Fantasy Footy players stop getting injured or sent-off.
Trying to get the remainder of bark mulch down in the veg patch. I’m too pretty for manual labour. 🌱
Maybe I need to get their walk done, then head out when we get home from the trail? That means a 5km run straight after a 5km walk. I prefer running up the trail, it’s a lot more pleasurable for me. No cars, fewer people and beautiful countryside. Maybe a walk/run and stop seeking perfection? 🏃🏻🐕
I am utterly racking my brains trying to work out how to get my running routine back on track. I used to run with my terrier, but since getting our lurcher, things have changed. He loves stopping and sniffing whereas the terrier, like me, has no time for stopping. 🐕🏃🏻
Goodness knows, I’ve seen some rough times at the Turf over the seasons - I’ve earned basking in a bit of reflected glory. ⚽️📺
Also finished ‘Mission to Burnley’ documenting the fall and rise of my beloved Clarets. While I’m incredibly happy that I’ve made rural Ireland my home, I do feel a little torn that I’m not around to soak in the feel-good atmosphere around the town that comes with the football team doing well. 📺⚽️
I don’t watch wrestling these days, but I’m absolutely gutted at Windham ‘Bray Wyatt’ Rotunda’s passing at the age of 36. Took my son to see him wrestle years ago and he was such a talented performer.
There are so many channels and streaming platforms now, it’s impossible to keep up with everything. 📺
Finished the first series of ‘Only Murders in the Building’ last-night and thoroughly enjoyed it. What a clever, funny and warm programme it is. 📺
Got up at 6am, walked the dogs, breakfasted and relaxing with a coffee now. Good job, Benji. Good job. 😐🐕
Still, tomorrow is another day and all that. 😐
I’m kicking myself for not getting up at 6am to take the dogs out for their walk. 8am rolls around and I can’t help but think ‘I would have been back by now’. 😐🐕
Bluesky is a rollercoaster. I’m not sure I like the direction it’s going after a nice few weeks, those little irritations that made Twitter an awful place are starting to materialise there. Anyway, I don’t want to be ‘that guy’ who talks about a social media app on a different platform so…
Renewed my passport. Forgot they were now blue, reminded me to push on with becoming an Irish citizen.
For the first time in months, maybe years, I feel I’m approaching a state of being in control of my days rather than becoming overwhelmed with everything I need, and want, to do and ultimately doing nothing but eating bad food and mindlessly watching television while scrolling on my phone. 😐
I’ve turned off cross-posting to Bluesky. I think I need to simplify matters and concentrate mostly on micro.blog until I get back into a blogging routine.
