The apples I took out of the freezer a few days ago are thawed out now so it's time to juice them.

Have I mentioned that I'm lazy? I'll do it after breakfast.

Then I'll have to take more out of the freezer to thaw again and collect more too.

I collected two more buckets of apples and juiced them to add to the bin of juice I did earlier. I got an extra 8 kg of juice and 4 kg of pulp, 66% juice, which is odd because that is a better extraction rate than from the frozen and then thawed apples. I'm pretty confident it was the other way about in previous years. But the thawed apples did behave a little oddly and the juice had a lot of fine pulp in it. The apples behaved a bit like pears. Pears are impossible to juice in this juicer because the pulp is so fine it just goes straight through the mesh of the centrifuge.

Now I have 27 kg of juice and I've thrown out 18 kg of pulp giving an average extraction rate of 60 %.

Perhaps I let them thaw too long, it was one day longer than usual (did I mention my laziness?). So I'll juice the next lot sooner.

Here is Wednesday's outfit. I too the selfies but neglected to post them.

I'm lazy too. Some people pay a lot to drugs to get to this state 😁

@being As far as drugs are concerned I sometimes I feel like a teetotaller in a bar, just wondering what it's all about but not wanting to try it.

Alcohol is different; it works for me and so far I've rarely had the urge to drink for any other reason than to enjoy the flavour, a slight buzz, and the company. I have on occasion over indulged on alcoholic drinks but on so few occasions that I can remember each one, a couple with pride, some with embarrassment. I've never had a drink in response to a problem. Just in case anyone thinks I'm boasting let me make it clear that it is my firm belief that the vast majority of people who drink alcohol do it without it or they causing any trouble.

I've never smoked, not even tobacco, never taken any drugs stronger than a couple of paracetamol for a headache.
