Worked from home today. Thanks to me forgetting to cancel our HelloFresh subscription in time, we ended up with a week's delivery of meals. Shruti and I made the Thai style sticky noodles. The stuffy nose didn't seem as bad as the last few days, so I set off on the cycle after dinner. Picked up some odds and ends from the supermarket, bubble tea from Hey Boba, and cycled home. It seemed too early to go to bed, so I started sorting records. While a record was playing, I tried assembling the topbox mounting plate/adapter. One thing led to another, and I tried fitting it to the motorbike in the rain. Had to give up because one of the bolts was turning without loosening and I couldn't access the nut at the other end to stop it. Lost track of time, went back to sorting records (these were the last few so the most difficult to categorize/sort as I tackled the easiest ones first). 2/3rd of the last shelf of records are still left to load on the bookshelf, but I'm now 3 bookends short. 4, if you count the other shelf where I used books instead of a bookend. Going to be tricky loading the rest of the records without bookends to hold them up! No idea how time flew but it's now super late to go to bed.
