  • Last night I was successful in doing two things: Jog and prepping for my apple pie.

  • I jogged two rounds -- one round with the wife and kids, one round walking with the wife. It's awesome to be outside during fall. The weather is not too hot nor cold and there's still enough light to enjoy before dinner and do outdoor activities.

  • I started preparing for my apple pie crust. Very basic recipe, flour, salt, sugar, butter, ice cold water and a little bit of apple cider vinegar. This recipe always delivers, I've learned my lesson. Keep the butter cold and chop it up to small cubes about 1/4", it makes it easier to mix in the dough. I made two batches for two apple pies. One apple pie never seems to be enough for us.

  • Before bed, I put on Mannequin on Netflix. We did not finish the movie, it was so bad. Then, it was was nice to see Kim Cattrall pre-Sex and the City, Andrew McCarthy, plus the guy in Police Academy as himself.

Today

  • I'm looking forward to making the rest of my pies. The only issue is space. I don't think I have enough space to store two magnificent apple pies in our fridge. So for tonight, I need to buy one unsalted butter. Probably additional Grannysmith apples. I'll prepare the filling and the topping tonight and bake them!

  • It's writing time for the kids tonight. The easier bit between maths and writing. I like teaching maths better but writing is equally important.

  • I think I have time to do one yoga session and one kettlebell session tonight when I get home. Kettlebell Workout:

    • 10 Goblet squat
    • 10-10 Single hand swings
    • 10-10 Military press
    • 10-10 Windmills
    • 10-10 Farmers walk

I had a black ramen lunch @ Shujinko. Awesome. Shujinko always delivers -- I always pay in the end. It's the third week of March already. Next week we'll be going to the Melbourbe Flower and Garden show. We have tickets already. I am happy that our landlord finally agreed to put in a green bin for us. We'll be expecting that to arrive next month. Until then everything goes into the big pile of green rubbish in the backyard.

Tonight I would love to finish at least one apple pie, two is great! Exercise optional.

The pie is in the oven. In 30 minutes, I'll take it out of the oven and enjoy the freshly baked apple pie. Friday, I'll make the other one.

Tomorrow

Planning is key to a successful day ahead. So for tomorrow I'll list down three things I want to accomplish.

  • In the morning I'll pick up my kettlebell once again and do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veTcRYgidG0 Goblet squat, clean and press, swing, sumo deadlift

  • Merged my PR and moved on to the next. I have two ticks already and I'm waiting for one. Then I'm free to do the next task.

  • Teach kids maths

It will be overkill if I go jogging at night.
