If I did not have these little disasters I would have nothing interesting to say.
Joyous start to Runuary day four. A panicked shout from T1, he has no shoes to go to school in today... He went to football after school, got changed at Grandpa's house, and left his shoes there. This is at 7:30. In the morning. We had to text Grandpa to warn him he was going to hear burglars in his house, then I had to drive T1 round there, get the shoes, drive him to school, then go home, then get back and take T2 to school. We had to wake Clare up, so she could contact her dad, break it to him gently. We did not see him when we went round there but the shoes were by the front door so I think he must have got up.
All of this on top of being accused of losing T1's school sports socks too. AND a massive row with T2 over him also not putting his clothes away neatly. This always happens when Clare is working late.
My running plans were out the window then, in fact my showering and getting dressed before work plans were entirely thrown into disarray. I finally got rid of them but too late for me to do any treadmill before work, but I decided to actually run outside at lunch. I'm still not washed or dressed though.
Wondering about cooking a tray bake that I saw the recipe for for tea.
I will be back with some coffee updates. I used my new scales to check what "recipe" I'm working to, and it's way off. I tried to make a change and messed it right up, so I have to check the manual for my coffee machine, reset it, and start tweaking the settings again. I know I'm looking for so many grams of ground coffee, and then that making twice that weight of espresso within thirty seconds. I can adjust the size of the grind, the amount of grinding, and the time it runs for. I see I can also change the temperature, didn't see that before. This machine is too clever for me. I will be back with a table of experiment results, because what is coffee if not an experiment. Ha, a coffee table, I thank you.
runuary: Running at least 5k every day for all of January.
