The best Beer Battered Fish recipe!

With all the fishing I’ve been doing, I’ve been testing out a whole bunch of ways to make a good beer batter…well this one from Recipe Tin Eats is the best I’ve found by far, especially when you use a nice crispy cold IPA 🍺

Love this Debbie Harry gif I found on tumblr.

Frustrating that Arsenal and Manchester City played out a draw, whilst Liverpool won against Brighton… Now Arsenal need to win everything and hope Liverpool drop points. ⚽️

Whilst I’ve not been a huge gambler, aside from when I was doing matched betting, I still had accounts at TAB, Dabble, Betfair, and others, on my phone and found myself putting $100 on here and there when I was bored.

So dumb.

So part of this ADHD thing is to remove as many of the bad triggers as possible…or at least slow access to them. With that in mind, my phone is now gambling app free.

Confession time, I never saw The Sopranos. I think I might watch it, apparently it’s quite good. 🤪

Left my crab traps in overnight, went back out to get them this morning and 3 of the 4 traps had octopuses in them…chucked them back as I could be bothered with all the prep work to get them ready for the BBQ.

Since getting my ADHD assessment the other day, everything has been turned up to 10,000 in my brain. I’m remembering all sorts of random incidents as far back as a 5 year old and now they all make sense to me, the incident, the reaction, the fallout…in a way it’s actually made it even more difficult to quiet my brain, but this is the pathway to a full diagnosis and treatment.

It’s just going to be a tough journey, hopefully a better me on the other side.

Started down the pathway of getting my self-diagnosed ADHD formally diagnosed and treated, it’s at a point now where I’m either constantly depressed or overachieving and on top of the world. There is little to no middle ground anymore.

I’m in a self-destructive mood today. This should be fun.

Goalkeeper Scored!

Lad scored yesterday in a trial match, as a goalkeeper! Last time he scored was in Under 9’s before he became a GK, he’s in 15’s now. 🦅

🎥 Watching: The Running Man

In a dystopian America, a falsely convicted policeman gets his shot at freedom when he must forcibly participate in a TV game show where convicts, runners, must battle killers for their freedom.

Bit of a random selection tonight…

Have spent the past 2 days in and out of 1Password going through all my accounts here, there, and everywhere, and changing my passwords, turning on 2FA wherever it's offered, and even deleting old accounts to services that I no longer use. Feels good.
