Over recent weeks I have done some paving and concreting and patched some gaps in walls and around windows.

I've been making pizzas from scratch for years, making pasta, baking cakes, and I make coffee in a stovetop espresso machine every morning.

Each of these tasks share a common theme. Measure out some stuff. Mix it up. Shape it, often using some kind of mould. Apply some heat until it cures.

I am currently repairing my carbon hydrofoil. More measuring and mixing. Shape it a bit. Wait. I put some cling wrap on to pre-form the repair.

The rock that chomped my foil also chomped my shin. This morning I cleaned it up a bit and applied basically a high tech cling wrap dressing.

Some years ago I got some dental implants. More mixing stuff in a bowl then taking an impression and waiting for it to set.

Seems like almost every task you can do can be done by mixing up stuff. Shape it a bit. Wait.

Good to see the time being utilized, hopefully by summer there is some semblance of normalcy and that you've run out of domestic chores
