House update - we're almost there!

For those who don't know we're building a house. No not us, but a builder is doing the building but we have commissioned a house to be built. And we're almost there. The 10 months we've been living at my mother in law's place has been interesting. Whilst it seems like a long time we've been keeping ourselves busy so it's not been all that bad.

The really good news is that I feel like we're only maybe 5 - 6 weeks away from getting keys. But I have no idea. The Site Supervisor has indicated by May we should be in. But he didn't want to commit!

This is what it looked like last week (February 2015):

In December 2014/January 2015:

Fitness Passport membership locations on a map

My Fitness Passport membership is now live! Woohoo! So I get access to a heap of gyms and pools and classes. For someone who isn't interested in a gym membership I'm not quite sure why I have joined!! Peer pressure. I'm very fortunate that I have the opportunity to join this type of membership as then I can go just about anywhere in NSW. The membership site gives you a list of them but I had no idea how close they would be to either work or home so I copied and pasted the details into a Google Sheet and then put them in a Google Map. I thought it may be useful for others too. You can access the map by this link too: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=10hH5PtKlBzeEzV6AoLev4vxqNoDxzR6y&hl=en&usp=sharing

The Croissant Diet Experience with a CGM - Sept 2020

I've been on the bandwagon of The Croissant Diet (TCD) for a little while. Maybe 6 weeks or so. And I thought I should document things a bit. There was a great summary by Brad Marshall on Twitter on what The Croissant Diet actually is: Eat LOTS of long chain Saturated Fat and avoid PUFA like the plague. Also avoid MUFA. If you want to eat some starch, go for it! But smother them in SatFat. That’s the whole thing, really. — FireInABottle (@fire_bottle) September 21, 2020 What I'm eating: Meat - beef or lamb mostly as this is low in PUFAs and high in stearic acid. Fats for cooking - tallow or butter. Enhanced with stearic acid. Eggs - cos they are a great whole food. Usually cooked in tallow or butter (enhanced with stearic acid if I remember). Butter Cream for tea Coffee - usually black Low carb "carbs" -- Atkins crispbread and Woolworths Macro bread. These have vegetable oils so not great but I try and overwhelm it with lots of butter. But generally not some

Magic Mirror - IKEA frame hack

Somehow I stumbled on the Magic Mirror project and of course I wanted to build it. Forget that I was in the middle of another mirror project (still not finished) but this one is now built! Here is the finished product (still a bit messy as I put a small console type table under the mirror): The console table was added... as I needed to hide the power point from my dogs who like munching on power cables if too accessible. Before I mounted it on the wall I had it propped up on a dining room chair... There are plenty of resources on how to get the magic mirror tech side of things done. The key resource is the Magic Mirror site: https://magicmirror.builders/ I've also used Google a lot and Jayen helped me a lot too on various bits and pieces. The main thing that is different is the way I put the frame/mirror component together. Here are the high level details (oxymoron?): 1. bought mirror tint from Aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/50x100cm-W
