Snap lockdowns and inspirations
With the snap lockdown last week, this week has felt simultaneously longer and shorter somehow! It gave me a chance to catch up on all my non-clinical duties in my day job like being the general IT guy and updating our intranet, looking at new app roll outs etc.
It was also a week where I FINALLY got something installed that I had been researching for aaagggeeess: BrilliantSmart Wifi controlled swtiches! These are touch sensitive and have a subtle blue glow when on. They also mean that most of the lights in the house are now a tap on the app away from being on or off. Also, it’s integrated into Google Home so I can use Google Assistant to turn areas on or off! Finally I feel like the future of laziness is here!😂
In other news, these emails have inspired a reader to start their own blog! Thanks Bryant for the shoutout! I didn’t know if you wanted your face before the readership, so here’s an emoji covered screengrab! Gotta say, hearing news from the PxR/email or podcast realted projects really make my day, so please let me know anything about my creative endeavours!
It was also a week of food and lot’s of eating out. Just like panic buying toilet paper, I seem to want to get restaurant food whenever there is a lockdown (even if I don’t eat out that frequently!)
I dined at the always reliably tasty Calia for some Japanese goodness. I’m glad I did because I’m not normally a fan of eggplant but their miso eggplant was just so good that now I’ll have to learn how to cook it.
We also had friends over for dinner and ordered from Chin Chin as well as some home baked goodies thanks to @wanderfille. Gary the cat must’ve smelt the deliciousness coming from the delivery bag so he snuck in…
CHIN CHIN!
