My Actifit Report Card: June 17 2020

Forecast was for rain from 11 am. Hard to believe with a clear blue sky to start. Wanted to go back to Lovers Jump Creek track to get a better photograph of the helmet orchid I saw on Monday.

Really was a day for mushrooms. White ones - this one with enough height to get a photo of the vanes underneath

A cluster or orange ones about an inch tall right on the footpath

Probably the same species as the last white one - they do fold out as they get bigger.

This guy is growing on a piece of timber right on the track.

These have found a fallen log on the side of the track - love the heart shaped one

I did find the withered helmet orchid again - memory works sort of - with better light

I did get a photo in focus for the less withered one. Note the white underside on the labellum. I scratched around more widely to see if there were others

Found this one not seen on Monday. It tells me that this is a spurred helmet orchid - corybas aconitiflorus - colony.

That is why one comes back - better photos and confirmed ID

Tracked back with mission accomplished. Stopped to take photos of acianthus orchid - light was low especially for this green form version

A little easier for the purple version

The nodding greenhood is a lot easier.

Met a lovely young lady while I was photographing. Let me show you my orchids

She had the luxury of 3 types in flower in a 5 metre stretch. Having lived in Singapore it was fun for her - great orchids there but mostly epiphytes (grow on trees)

I retook this photo to show the underside of the helmet orchid. Then I spied this Beatrix Potter scene

Afternoon got a bit sidetracked on Internet Marketing stuff. Revisited a Chrome app to filter friends on Facebook. Called FriendsFilter it scans engagement on posts and gives tools to split active from inactive. Then I created a first list of inactives in FB and made a few posts specifically to them. Plan is to do that for 7 days with different types of posts and cull all that remain inactive. The more active ones friends the more reach FB presents. Why bother? So I can talk about stuff I promote to a more engaged audience. Test it out here for free

There is a free version and a one year Pro version. Advantage of Pro is more unfriending can be done and bigger affiliate commission. Training has good top down view

Did push forward on the affiliate marketing mastery product but not quite to finish line. Time to let Work From Home Jobs settle in.

Dinner: Moroccan chicken tagine. This is a game of layers with only chicken browned ahead of layering. Layer from the bottom in sequence stuff will cook. Needs maybe 1/3 cup of stock only. Cinnamon bark and onion and carrots on bottom. Then chicken and pumpkin and sweet potato and garlic. Then egg plant and a mix of chopped dried fruit (dates, peaches, prunes, cranberries - whatever you have). Top with preserved lemon quarters. Seasoning is paprika, cumin and coriander. Cooking time - 90 minutes with occasinal basting of stock base onto the top of the mix. No stirring.

Served with quinoa/amaranth mix for me. Couscous works - I am allergic to that.

Trade action ahead of options expiry: Bought CLF, LIT, RUN, UNM as all will be assigned. Wrote July covered calls. Also sold TJX July puts at 47.5. Happy to buy at that level with price now around $55.
