“Preparing for pizza”
-
April? Unacceptable.

Such lateness? We went away to Norfolk for a little break over the bank holiday. The location was my idea because I’ve never been over to that side of the country before. It reminded me of Somerset in a lot of ways. We stayed in an Airbnb with a very poor shower, and non-functional radiators. I used a log burner for the first time to varying degrees of success.
We visited a series of seaside towns in various levels of deterioration. And some cities too. I think the pedestrianisation has been a success. The highlight was a boat trip to see grey seals off Blakeney point. That was cool.
As always, the main reason for holidays is to make you happier with what you have at home. Such as a working shower.

I got my tooth fixed in time for the holiday 💸💸💸

Castro, my current podcast app of choice, committed one of the cardinal sins of interface design with the most recent update. They moved existing buttons that have been in-place for years. New buttons have been added which shifts up the delete podcast episode button. So now I’m consistently pressing the wrong button.

Still no EICR – I have chased, repeatedly.

I’m preparing to use the pizza oven I received as a gift at least a year ago. You cannot rush these things. The weather is now getting good enough to risk trying it out. The practice I had creating fire on holiday will no doubt become useful. This foray into home pizza making will either be a one time thing as I discover how much hassle it is, or a regular pizza eating problem. I’ll keep you updated.

In order to aid in my insulation-related goals, I got a thermal camera – Thermal Master P1 – so I can spot cold spots more easily. Also because it’s cool and I wanted one. Thank you Christmas and Birthday Amazon credit.
