What have you been doing today?

[fillyboy]

Been a good hubby today while Mrs Mottie was out on dementia mum duty. I did the weekly shop - both Lidl and Sainsbury’s, hoovered up, did the ironing completely emptying the ironing basket including putting it all away and had a salmon stir-fry on the table when she got home. Collected a few love tokens there.

Did they have any tomatoes?

Hours spent/wasted - working out how to update the firmware on a repurposed BT router, with OpenWRT. A router which had connected and worked well with OpenWRT, then suddenly stopped connecting. I eventually found, and updated the firmware, then I couldn't work out what the broadband password was, so had to pester Plusnet to set up a new one. Even with the new username and password, it still failed to connect, so back to the identical hardware, but with crippled firmware. Plusnet router.

I was with Plusnet. I used a whole series of ex-routers round the house to create a network.
I wanted to stay with them but BT wouldn't give them FTTP quick enough. Got a great set-up now with BT WiFi 6 mesh units dotted about.

Went for my usual walk with the dog but got caught out in a snap snowfall. The wind was literally blowing it sideways.

Got a ****ing parking ticket for parking with two wheels on the pavement outside my workshop while I opened it up. I was out of the car for approx 2 minutes and the **** pounced. Dirty rotten **** - I had the hazards on too. I’m looking into appealing it, I might be lucky.

Lucky is my middle name.

I pretended my name was Ahmed. I knew that would stand a good chance.

I had to drive to Milton Keynes today to pick up a piece of furniture that Mrs Mottie bought. That was 3 hours of my life I’ll never see again!

Went to our local Buddhist temple for a walk in the woods followed by a bowl of butternut & coconut soup, chilled out now

Chopping logs. Not a fossil fuel and totally renewable.

Day out and lunch with friends and our dogs at Mersea. Lunch at the Coast inn where they have a nice choice of beers - I plumped for a pint of Ghost Ship with my pan-fried haddock. As usual, after lunch and another walk on the beach, we go to Tiptree jam rooms for our dessert - cream tea - only we had to wait an hour to leave the island today as an extremely high tide covered the road to the island! While I was waiting for the tide to go down, I turned round, went back and bought a crab to take round to my mum for her tea.

Roast pork, mash and roast, sweetcorn, sprouts, stuffing, honey roasted parsnips, Yorkie pud, and gravy. That, followed later, by Black Forest Gateau.

Feeling hungry now!
