...and relax! TLC, Tattoo Fixers, Four In A Bed and Scrooged

Woke up this morning and was not disturbed by work escalations. Bliss! My morning was my own! Watch WWE Table Ladders and Chairs PPV which had an interesting main match but the rest of it was pretty meh. I think maybe I have fallen out of love with wrestling which is a bit of a surprise. Let's see how I feel when they can get back to doing proper shows with audiences once again as it might be a combination of the product and the lack of live crowd noise...... or maybe it's just the product LOL Still, there was fire!

I moved on to some Louis Theroux and nis Scientology movie. It was a fascinating insight into this very closed, secretive group. 

A bit if housework, YUK, was then followed by some Tattoo Fixers.

I dug out some old crack in the afternoon and indulged in some Four In A Bed as it's been a while!

We started out Christmas movie viewing tonight with the Bill Murray classic, Scrooged.

Baking, Louis, Botched, Goblet Of Fire and Order Of The Phoenix

After a lovely long sleep it was up and backing for me. Toni's gluten free keto rolls with a slight change to the recipe. Today I was experimenting with the recipe and mixing in some lupin flour with the almond flour, one part lupin and three parts almond. The mixture was a lot thicker and slightly hard to mix. They seemed to bake well though.

Toni said they tasted really nice and the texture had improved (it was more dense and spongy) and was even ore like bread. Result!!!!!!

A bit more Louis Theroux was followed by more Botched! 

My regular Sunday roast accompanied Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire.

We then followed this up with Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix.

Good day, The Rise Of Skywalker and The Philosopher's Stone

Today was also a good day. Despite going to bed really late due to a critical issue popping up I woke in good spirits. I got up, had some breakfast and a coffee and watched an episode of Louis Theroux. Work is now at a level manageable state and I am slowly killing off as many outstanding tasks as I can so I can go into my holiday break with nothing to worry about.

We finished our Star Wars marathon with The Rise Of Skywalker bring the saga to an end. 

I had a brief interruption with a minor work issue. A variant of last nights critical but much quicker to resolve so not much if my evening was lost.

We rounded things out starting our Harry Potter marathon which is also a Christmas custom now. Starting at the very beginning it was Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone.

I won't be drawn into the J.K. Rowling debate, I enjoy this films very much and will continue to watch them. If you don't like that then you know where the door is!

Morning exercise, Louis Theroux, Spitting Image and The Curse Of The Black Pearl

I haven't been particularly active of late so decided to start doing more in the garage gym. I started out this morning with a 5km cycle. I managed that but was feeling quite tired afterwards. This was not good as normally I would do a session on the bike, some weights and then another session on the bike. It's amazing how quickly muscle atrophy can set in so it looks like I have some work to do over the next few days/weeks to get bit fitter!

As nobody else was up I chilled out with a Louis Theroux documentary which saw him return to Westboro Baptist church after the death of Fred 'Gramps' Phelps. It was good to see that some of the family members have now managed to get out but sad to see that some are still tied in with these toxic religious nuts.

When everybody was awake we made breakfast and checked out the new Spitting Image series. Have to admit it was a bit hit and miss. There were some good gags int here but it did seem to suffer from some very lazy writings. Two episodes in and we remained to be convinced, we'll probably watch a couple more to see if it does improve at all. We dug out the DVD of the original Spitting Image series to remind ourselves how good it used to be.

Now that the Halloween countdown is over we have constructed playlists for November, December and January! Talk about planning! LOL

After I had put the dinner on we watched a bit of Four In A Bed for shits and giggles!

The November countdown started tonight with Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl. We are doing franchises in November (with one exception that will be revealed on the day) so we are kicking off in Pirates mode!
