A busy couple of days!
Yesterday was sunny mostly - the forecast said 14C/57F, but our back garden was a lot warmer than that. I spent the morning making fresh goat's cheese (which I haven't done for ages) and a tomato sauce for pasta as I had a glut of tomatoes.
The afternoon was spent catching up with some reading of the catalogue I bought at the Fabergé exhibition. When Mr Cee finished work at 2.30pm we spent some time planting the new plants I'd had delivered the day before. In the evening we had a meet up with the Nordic walking group and I'm so glad I grabbed a coat as it was freezing when we got to the park where we started from. I suspect it was because it's a big open space as once we had disappeared into the woodland next to the football pitches it was much warmer. We had a good two-mile walk and it was nice to catch up with everyone.
Today it's sunny again, but warmer than yesterday as there's not such a cold wind (16C/60F, but currently 18C/64F in our garden). We had our online Tai Chi lesson this morning. It was fun - my shoulders were complaining near the end - I've done quite a lot of intense work with my shoulders this week! This afternoon was mostly spent doing not very much - although I did watch a couple of the old Merlin series as I was setting something else up to record and I spotted it. Then Mr Cee and I stuck some stickers on the new electric Smart. It now has two stickers - one that says "100% electric" *g* and the other one says .....
...... because we couldn't resist (and for a two-seater car, it IS bigger inside than people always think LOL!).
Later we're off to our local town to have dinner at the student-led restaurant as they are having a 'special menu' evening (Surf 'n' Turf), and the menu looks yummy! The restaurant is run by catering and hospitality students under close supervision by their tutors, but they do all the cooking and service. We've always been very impressed when we've been before, and this is the first time they are doing a special menu since before all the lockdowns so it feels good to support them. We'll walk down as it's a nice evening and we can both have a glass of wine :)
In the meantime I have questions:
20. What do a lot of people have very strong opinions about, even though they know very little about it?
Science - people will believe things that appear on the Interwebs and often have very little bearing on true scientific reasoning...
21. Who in your life is the worst at using technology?
One of the ladies who comes to the Tai Chi class on Fridays that I go to on my own doesn't own a smartphone and is really uninterested in tech. She admitted it's getting harder to avoid using computers and she's trying to learn, but she hates it....
The rest of the questions are here.
