Grey goo begone!

The days seem to be merging into one grey blob of time. I am minded of the Grey Goo hypothesis which postulates that one day, we shall invent nanotechnology that will get out of control and proceed to transform our world into some amorphous blob of grey goo. It is now the end of the second week of confinement and still no end in sight to this interminable pause of our human activities. Unemployment is shooting up all over the world, social gatherings are forbidden and humans avoid it each other like, well, the plague whilst performing a permitted dog walk or grocery expedition.

Well, at least it is officially the Easter "holiday" from today for the next two weeks. I customarily booked two weeks off work (to coincide with the school holidays) before we all went into lockdown. So, I will have the next two weeks off work.

I sense a lot of DIY and painting in my imminent future. I guess it will be as good a time as any to finally paint the family room after 13 years of living here!! I will attempt to banish Nozomi to the home office (she has been working from the dining table) and paint the walls of said room at some point in the next fortnight. The garage side door could also use some TLC and paint.

It's been a strange week. I had a very bad day at work on Weds (or was it Tues?). This contributed to a very poor night of sleep (maybe 3 hours?) with my mind flitting between work and COVID19 worries like a tongue over broken teeth. I finally relented to the inevitable and arose at 5:20am (having tossed and turned since 2am) and performed my usual morning exercises. I was basically on autopilot and am sure I probably nodded in and out of sleep mid press up at one point. 

Time to make dinner. (Home made pizza). To be continued...

Home made pan pizza

Ingredients

1. Self raising flour (250g ish)
2. A bit of salt
3. A splash of olive oil
4. Half a cup (ish) of water
5. Toppings of choice

Method

1. Stir and then kneed into dough (add a bit of flour and water as required until its maleable and not sticky or dry). 
2. Roll out the dough until roughly frying pan sized. 
3. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the pan. 
4. Fry both sides on a medium heat. (Check underside every couple of mins until color/crispiness you want).
5. Stick whatever the hell you want on top. Today was a dollop of jar pasta sauce, sliced mushrooms, red peppers, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, another layer of pepperoni, and some parmesan cheese.
6. Stick under a grill at 180C and keep an eye on it (turn your back and it will burn because - grill).
7. Enjoy!  (It was lush!)
