1) Still working on my physical fitness (apparently the marginal increase in physique is noticeable by others)
2) Still making sure the bike is as winterised as can be. Still more stuff needs doing such as the purchase of a more advanced set of puncture repair stuff and must revise that aspect of the whole thing ans well as getting a good small tool kit together.
3) maintaining a small food stash for when I cant be bothered to go shopping in the snow.
4) lots of little fiddly things that are all about me maintaining the way that I am.

About to:

Bring down the slow cooker and soup maker for the winter and therefore to winterise the cooking equipment that I use when I can open the windows and let cooking smells and steam out. Clean them.

In the middle of:
The last big "between the seasons" flat cleaning that I want to do before autumn gets more autumny and winter sets in. This has involved getting out the radiator brush (long thing for the fins in the radiators) and getting the mouldy dusty crud out.

I harvested about 3kg of unsuspecting trout this morning. I then did a food shop at Morrisons and cleared them out of peperami and Belvita soft bakes for my GHB/ready meals/MRE kit.

I got some new winter tread tyres on my car, ready for a Devon autumn.

I bought a wifi ELM 327 OBD dongle from eBay and used it via my phone to check why the engine management light was amber. The fault was minor, easily cleared, and cost about £10 to do. Well worth it. Saved time and money on going to a garage so now I'm drinking what I call 'free' beer.

Just got back from blackberry picking, got about 10lbs of berries so very chuffed! Also picked a few pounds of elderberries to try as a jam. Good job I have a lot of jam jars :lol: :lol: :lol:

Prompted by my discovery that I was down to my last 5 packs of 24 toilet rolls :shock: I realised that I've not really thought about any preps for over a year owing to family issues and general mid-life procrastination. So I'm re-acquitainting myself with all the new stuff on UK-Preppers :D and discovering that during the various house tidies due to unexpected family stay-overs and acquiring half of my father's belongings, my preps are all over the place and I really need to get a new inventory of them all and work out what's gone missing, expired, or was never there in the first place! And, thanks to a small inheritance, I have bought myself a British Berkefeld gravity water filter with ATC heavy metal filters! :D Ooh...shiny!

Joined a local gym & swim & classes. Bargain at £22 per month. Now to make use of them :)
Next is to join an inclusive (for people with disabilites) cycling class in York to get me back on my bike. I'm told they'll probably start me on a trike :shock:
