Double-toasted sandwich sliced Vogels smeared with super crunchy peanut butter and boysenberry jelly.
I prefer smooth peanut butter as a base for PB&J but it would be poor form to pop out for a small jar of Fix & Fogg on the second day of a Level Four lockdown.

Last night the Prime Minister got changed into a comfy sweatshirt, put her toddler to bed, and got on the FB to have a chat with anyone who was around. As ever, she was thoughtful, clear, and kind. I’m by no means a religious person, but thank god for Jacinda Ardern.

A bit of a treat to start Level Four lockdown. A Peanut Butter, Date & Oat Smoothie.
It’s a sipping smoothie. Creamy and sweet, with some natural yoghurt stopping it being sickly, but not a drink you’re going to chug in a minute.
This’ll get me through a day of arts & crafts with the kids, hangouts & slack messages with workmates, and some form of exercise in the local area.
Stay home folks. We’ve got this.

Tom Hanks doesn’t know how to use Marmite. He posted a photo with twelve weeks with of the stuff slathered over his sourdough. That led to a run on Marmite and Vegemite at the supermarkets leaving only Our Mate on the shelves.
Readers, Our Mate is the good stuff. It is proper English Marmite, rebranded for our shores. Lighter brown. Almost runny. It tastes better.
Put some in your Click & Collect order and enjoy Marmite Eggs like I just did.

I feel like getting back into farting out random thoughts might be something that will help me in lockdown, but I’m not ready for the poor impulse control of twitter. So this is a test of micro.blog.

How to clean your butt without toilet paper

One thing this pandemic has certainly drummed home to me is the importance and mechanics of washing my hands properly. Every second thing in FB is a new video on “how to really get stuck in with hand washing cos yer doin’ it wrong, dummy.” I appreciate everyone who’s brought proper handwashing technique to my attention.

Let me repay the favour by taking it to the next level and introducing you to Indi Samarajiva‘s excellent article How to clean your butt without toilet paper.

All you need is a jug with a spout, soap, and water. And ditch the squeamishness that comes with decades of using toilet paper. Good luck!

Wilco at Soundkick Live

We feel like if we didn’t [switch out guitars almost every song] we’d spend at least twenty minutes out of every set tuning
Jeff Tweedy, on Wilco’s “egregious” number of guitars each set

This short set of songs and interview with Jeff Tweedy was recorded “a few months back”, in the Before time.

First day of lockdown so I’m kicking off with a fancy smoothie made with avocado, blueberries, spincach, banana, and peanut butter. Coffee is served in a Timmy’s cup gifted to me by the excellent @ayouens and @squared99

Since we’re all stuck at home I’ve been looking at how I can do some kind of CrossFit style workout on my own. I’m currently sans-box, so I figured mainsite (as we call it) would be a good place to start. Being a nerd of a certain vintage I wanted to subscribe to the workouts in my feed reader but no such feed exists.

So I made my own.
