Took my two gorgeous boys on an adventure through the woods and down the canal. We took Lego Batman and Robin to make our own Lego film.

Tip for UK EV owners. If you live in the UK and own an EV, from April you now have to pay car tax, ranging from £10-£195, most commonly it'll be £195. Tip: f you log on now you can tax your car today for the next 12 months for free, even if your car is currently taxed.

Slowly perfecting chips/fries in the air fryer. The latest change is to put them straight into the air fryer from the ice bath. Don't dry them. Shake the excess off and throw them into preheated 190c for ten mins. Shake/toss them after five mins. This steams them. After ten minutes... 1/2

How do you maximise your free time? It's something I struggle with,as mentioned in this clip from the latest episode of The Vernon Richard Show. I overthink all the ways I could use it,become overwhelmed and then feel like I wasted it. You can watch the full episode here. youtu.be/FmcP3PyFqq4?...

If this had been 10 / 1 + 2 I would have not been happy!

Solving the Mathler puzzle with the final guess, It was 70/7+2. After trying 60/6, 50, 40, 90 and 20!

Replaced a perished UPVC door seal today. 4/10 DIY job, don't recommend. Getting the old one out was a challenge as pulling on it just tore it, after a Google, I created my own makeshift tool as per a thread a saw, worked a treat. Putting in the new one was a breeze.

This Barclaycard advert is ruining the Darts coverage. And, yeah, I know this is the reaction they want people to have and promote them, but it's so annoying!

I earned the "I'm going to call Santa" parent badge last night. He's only four, but wouldn't come wash. It was the quickest and cutest turnaround ever. I feel a bit bad, but I got him washed, so effective

Caught an earlier train today than usual,which has helped me learn that LinkedIn doesn't update its Puzzle Games until midnight California time. Yet they claim there's a new puzzle every day. Well,there is a new one every day Richard...You just have to wait... But, I shouldn't, but... Quality

Today is a hoody on, headphones on, hood up and grind day. The tasks are not challenging, there is little to learn, but these docs won't write themselves. But these docs will allow the conversations to continue, framed around the codified information in them. Time to write ⌨️
