New week at work...at a stretch without a break

Good afternoon from this side of the planet. . It's a bright sunny Monday and 12:40 in my clock as I write this. Happy Monday and hope you all have a good week ahead. I came back home from work around 12:20. I changed and picked the clothes that I put in the morning to dry away. They will be folded and ironed later after the dinner.. And then put a new load with a comforter in it. I switched on the gas stove with rice vessel on it. I had washed and soaked the rice before leaving for work in the morning. Few hours of soaking is good and we get fluffy rice ready in less time. So, it does save the gas and time. I will have lunch once the rice is ready and my elder daughter is ready to join. She is doing some self learning course to enhance her illustration skills. When I entered the house, she was busy watching the tutorial. Till then I can mylot It was a smooth working day. I worked at a stretch from 8_12:10 without any break. It was two sessions back to back and then two meetings back to back. I was too tired by the end and as soon as I was done, I walked back to home. It was pleasant walk in the sunny and breezy day. Nothing much to do in the afternoon. I did enough cooking in the morning before leaving for work. So, even the dinner is ready . I am free till 4 in the afternoon when my remedial sessions will begin. It goes for two hours. I plan to go for an hour of walk post that. I hope that the weather remains good and we don't get any rain. Maybe I will finish the load to iron after walk and dinner. I do plan to take my 30 minutes power nap between 3_4 to rejuvenate and charge myself for the sessions. Hope all is well in your myLot corner. I will move on to reading discussions and answering notifications Picture is of the fresh zucchini that I just plucked from my terrace garden. It's so fresh. I might make a salad for tomorrow's lunch

I took a nap for about an hour, a little more than my usual power nap. I am feeling energetic and now I am waiting for my students to come for the remedial sessions.

I totally agree. I wish that I had a bigger space to grow more of them. Anyway I try to make maximum use of the space that I have. . We get some harvest every week Nothing beats the joy of harvesting

I like your idea of soaking rice. We use boiled rice and use the pressure cooker but soaking it will cook it faster Normally we soak cereals overnight

I use a thick base vessel for cooking rice or rice cooker when I am really busy and can't pay attention to the rice. Soaking does help.

I made a simple salad sauting it with onion and a bit of garlic. It was super yummy!! Is it too hot there? It's cloudy and rainy here since the last few days. It's cold and pleasant. We don't need the fan.
