Plans for today (2025)

Not sure what my plans are. I've got an interview relating to my database assignment tomorrow. My partner in that one is about 3 days off giving birth, so I'm on my own with it now.
Later it is the penultimate class in the database course 5-7pm.

I had to given a group presentation via teams today online for another course. That takes coordinating I can tell you. Only one of you can present at any one time, and given my satellite connection its better I don't present at all... so I have to rely on the presentation screen being out of my line of sight and be reading from my copy of the presentation whilst my partner keeps up with me changing the slides and doing the laser pointer for me :o_o: I'm so glad we had 3 run throughs beforehand because first time around took some figuring out as to what would work... 2nd time round was sorting words out and 3rd time round was timing it so we stuck to the time limit for the real thing. Oh and there's a requirement that you all present for a minimum of 1 minute each...

Hubby is on food duty tomorrow.

And next week is another interview regarding the only individual assignment I've had this trimester. I will actually have to go and look at the assignment to remind myself what I did! 😆

If I can't get the IT working correctly....

Oh and the car in the garage on Thursday and I'm in the garage at physio on Friday.
 
Milk, celery, and the discount store. If the ground thaws out enough place my burn barrel. That's been sliding all over my calendar for weeks!

That jury duty thing is over with so that's not hanging over my head on a daily basis for a week. While hanging out with all the others waiting to be interviewed I did learn how to get out of that. They really don't want the retired guy that had to use an alarm clock and make a sack lunch making any decisions...

Got more bleak jobs to do today but after yesterdays motherload I think I’m going to take a break and make the goulash today, maybe some panna cotta n mango compote too. I feel a restorative day pottering might be due.

The best way for you to potter about, given history, is to have a fresh made plate: 👏

Well I had bought 5 dozen cage free brown eggs on sale (this company: Happy Egg) for $3.99 a dozen several weeks ago (expiry Febuary 3) and now I am down to 6 eggs, so I need to find some on sale somewhere soon and stock up. I dislike those pale yolked eggs, I like the deep, rich orangey yolks from chickens who get to wander around and forage.

So

Serenity is not going in tomorrow for new locks because the parts have not turned up.

So hubby is at home all day tomorrow and he didn't do tonight's evening meal either.

The good news is that the assignment interview went well.
 
I'm potting trees. Mainly limes.
Their current pots are too small. I bought 10 litre buckets and drilled holes in them.
Some lemon, some mango, mostly lime.
All from seed

Also busy baking bread following the recipe Puggles linked to. Now to see if that works with my ancient gas oven

That's my morning sorted.
I may get some visitors later on, but depends on what the rain has done to our roads ..
We'll see

Let us know on the bread please!
 
Take biscuits to the Walmart deli folks, get a beer to make malt vinegar, pick up more piloncillo and some basmati rice to make tahdig.
 
On my way to the office now, for the third day in a row - I vastly prefer working from home, but I’ve had stuff that needed to be done in-person this week. It’s been super busy at work lately, so by the time I get home I’m tired and we’ve ended up just ordering in the past couple nights.

I had a good reason to stay late last night though - my union organized a clothing swap so not only was I able to get rid of some stuff I never wear, I also scored a beautiful magenta trenchcoat for free.
