I have just found £160 in an old wallet that ive not used for 6 months.
Although it’s not really a win, the wife said we can use it to pay for paint and decorate the living room.
Note to self, don’t be so open when finding spare cash!

My quiche turned out great! 8/10, it did feel like a little win. The main issue was too much filling making it feel too heavy. I’m going to share the fixed recipe here:
Ricotta and spinach quiche, serves 2 with leftovers
- a 30cm large disc of puff pastry
- veg oil
- 1/4 medium onion, diced
- 100g fresh spinach, shredded
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp milk
- salt, pepper, nutmeg to taste (seasoning)
- (30g? eyeballed) Parmesan cheese to taste, grated
- 120g ricotta, crushed
- a dozen cherry tomatoes
- Shape the pastry inside a cake or pie pan. Make sure that there’s enough pastry to get a nice border. Leave it in the fridge for now.
- In another pan, cook the diced onion with a bit of veg oil, until translucent. Add spinach and quickly cook it until wilted; then let it cool enough so the eggs don’t get cooked in the next step.
- Whisk together eggs, milk, seasoning; add them to the pan. Then add the crushed ricotta and some (not all) Parmesan cheese. Mix everything well.
- Spread the mix over the puffed pastry. Sprinkle the rest of the Parmesan cheese over it, and plop the cherry tomatoes.
- Gently fold inwards the border of the puffed pastry, over the filling. It’s optional, I just think that it looks nicer this way.
- Bake it in a [important!] pre-heated oven at 180°C, until the filling is set, the top is golden, and the cherry tomatoes are slightly wilted. This should take half a hour or so. Let it rest and serve.
I am finally playing a ttrpg again. I am running a d&d campaign for 4 students in the high school drama club. They are all new to RPGs and it has been super fun teaching them to play. I went to high school with one of their father and he played in my games back then.
I’m baking an icecream cake for the first time and it seems to be going really well!
I emailed my two-week resignation notice to our HR guy. I did this using the company phone while on the clock.
This is the way.
I hope you took your time while writing the email.
It was short and sweet and respectful, didn’t need a lot of thought. I wrote it in between helping customers.
Did it go something like this…
Remember when l said wanted a pet dragon and a moat around my desk? Since that’s not happening anytime soon (and trust me, I waited), I’ve decided to venture into the big wide world in search of both. send postcards. P.S.: This is my fun way of saying I’m resigning. You’ll be missed!
Haha, I wish. 🐉
Helped make my wife’s depression and anxiety go away for a good chunk of hours on Saturday and Sunday! That’s a big win for me
We’re almost caught up on wrestling after a house fire derailed our lives a few weeks ago. Still at a motel, but still alive
I held a tiny 5-day-old baby at church for the whole service on Sunday, and he just slept on me sweetly the whole time. I loved every second of it, he was so sweet.
I held my baby niece (not 5 days old, but 6 months or so) on Saturday. It took me back to when my kids were babies, i dont envy those days, im pretty sure i lost myself, or my identity, definitely my sanity!
I couldn’t believe my friend had made it to church, and she has three other young kids, but she’s so chill about parenting and life in general. Her kids are just wonderful.
Got out, jogged, and did some outdoor work even though it’s the worst time of year for it. I’ll happily do my jogs/walks in winter unless it’s dangerously cold out but I have very little tolerance for hot weather.
Jury-rigged a mounting plate for the new wind indicator on my boat on Saturday. Stopped by the marina Monday night for a different project and the wind indicator still hasn’t fallen off yet.
having a bonfire to celebrate a birthday this weekend 😀
