Good plan.
I haven't sewn anything (other than fixing my backpack strap) for well over a year now, time to finish that linen jacket for the summer!

So I’m stuck at home for god knows how long. I’m taking this opportunity to learn how to code using http://www.freecodecamp.org. I’m going to use this knowledge to build a simple website for my freelance editing and proofreading business. Once I’ve done this I will try to grow that business because I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go back to working outdoors for the foreseeable future. I’m also going to keep working at web development and hopefully gain the knowledge and skills to be able to pivot into that as a vocation one day. What are you guys doing or planning to do that you never thought you’d have time for? |

I'm trying to use the commute time that I am no longer doing to either fix up all the small things in the house that need doing, or put some extra time into my (very badly neglected ) banjo playing. |

Gaz and I should probably use the opportunity to work on the taekwon-do related project we thought up, although motivation is lacking somewhat at the minute

We're doing the morning workout with Joe Wicks on YouTube... Day one and it's almost killed me but I can see myself feeling better for it. Other than that, I've got the girls off school so doing anything that I want to do is a stretch. I've still got work to do but that's slowed right down. |

(I have no idea which side is which, 50/50 guess) Further to this: Threaded parts adhere to this super simple, easy to remember rule: Lefty loosy Righty tighty Only when viewed from the side of the live part and using the top of the part as a reference. Left hand pedal righty loosy, lefty tighty. Right hand pedal righty tighty, lefty loosy. Left hand bottom bracket shell loosy lefty, tighty righty Right hand bottom bracket shell clockwisey loosy, counterclockwisey firmy. And the writing in the tyre side wall should line up with the valve UNLESS IT LOOKS BETTER SOMEWHERE ELSE, in which case aesthetics takes precedence. Simple |

I EXTREME cleaned Mrs Zs RAV4. Back seats were removed from moving furniture so while it was empty I cleaned it all out including removal of DVD based satnav system under passenger seat, and factory fitted nokia phone holder on centre console. Even cleaned top of the engine bay including a respray of the tatty bolts holding down the intercooler cover. Washed and spray waxed the outside and did the tyre dressing too, looks good! Painting miniatures. Going to prep some silk screens too. |

Yesterday, I finally got around to fitting new handles on an old chest of drawers. Then I went full-on Martin Bryce, and sorted all our little "button"-type batteries into compartments of a little plastic box. Then I did this, which is another reason why I'm going to hell. |

Same. You know on Aerobics Oz Style that used to be on in the late 90s, there'd be one spod who was doing the 'easy' version? I am that spod. |

I'm still going in to work as I'm listed as essential by the council, but I'm expecting to be redeployed next week or the one following that. Probably I'll end up wandering Cardiff making sure all the pubs and cafes are locked up and everything. One pleasant side effect is that as since over a week ago I've been walking the three and a half miles to work and the three and a half miles back instead of catching the bus, I've been losing a bit of weight. Doing weekly planned food shops seems to be helping my diet a little too. I think I'll continue the walk to work when the emergency's over! |
