Turning lots of corners - DaB35 Part 8

[DaB35]

Oh the sweet taste of thick 2x4s...! Thanks D!
I get it, I do. Sometimes I have these thoughts and feel better for writing them down. Maybe next time I just think them and leave it. THink of the big STOP sign like in the DR book.

I'm from 'darn sarth' as some say. Home Counties. Won't say exactly where to avoid giving too much away.

Yes we are 4 months D'd.

Enjoyed today. Did a 'quick' wash of the car this evening, not a full detail (which took me 4 hours!). This only took about an hour. Rinse, pre-wash, rinse, wash, rinse, dry, wax. Once you've bought the stuff, detailing is cheap hobby - for me anyway...I know others can easily spend thousands on top of the range pressure washers and so on!

Worked on some stuff for my YouTube channel. Getting some script outlines for a couple of vids sorted. Batch recording is something I've read up on to make things easier; film 2 or 3 vids in one day. Then you can spend a few weeks editing them and be chilled about releasing them. Might have a go recording this weekend. Need to order one of those pop-up backdrop things so I can just plonk that up against a wall and talk in front of that.

This will be a huge deal for me - I hate having my photo taken, so filming myself talking to a camera alone will be a massive additional step of increased confidence. And this time, it's something I want to do, rather than shying away from it. I bough a tripod and mount for my iPad and a decent external microphone, so I guess I have to use them now!!

Friend messaged me later this evening saying how grateful he was for my help earlier today. My sister and her H popped round with their dog on their way home from visiting a friend. I feel a bit closer to my BIL now, which is good; we had a little chat outside whilst I was drying the car.

It's nice because I feel more able to just talk to men about "life", something that I was always quite nervous about, as opposed ot talking about work only say. Might come from my dad - he has literally no male friends, and never calls anyone. Reading NMMNG definitely helped. I dip into it now and again occasionally. When I do, I listen to what 'should' be done and think "yes I'm doing that stuff now".

Up to 60 sit ups and 70-75 press-ups a day now (well 6 times a week anyway).
