The day started with my cell phone reminder to take my insulin awakening me from a rare, good sleep. The good news being that it worked even with my cell phone turned off.
Then came breakfast, coffee and bagel and a meeting of the minds about our rapidly overcrowding fishponds. The let’s see what happens now decision was to harvest a few from each pond and improve the water flow to each pond.
Translation: duct tape a water pipe extension that will increase the oxygen to the upper pond, remove the restrictor valve to the lower pond, harvest some fish. With Min and I working together, not hard but we were under a mean tropical sun for an hour or two.
Next on the list was the exercise bike. Ideally, I put in an hour and burn off close to 500 Calories. Today it was 40 minutes and 355 Calories. Not the ideal but good enough on a hot day with lots to do. How hot you ask? hot enough for the bamboo to be cracking. That puts it somewhere between 35C and 45C in the sun.
Luckily, what came next was mostly machine work and in the shade. Two loaves of whole wheat bread. And I do mean whole wheat. We’re out of white flour. It’ll be heavy but with the cinnamon and brown sugar I added it should be tasty.
I’m still doing the bread, but my late and cold lunch is finished, and I’m working on this posting as the bread rises.
As for the rest of the day, a dinner of cheese and fresh bread sounds good and maybe some binge watching of Murdoch’s Mysteries. More than likely there will be a nap or two as well.
All in all, an excellent Penny/Farthing type of day.
