Sunday. 19th. Super yummy roast pork for dinner. 2.5kg so barely fit in my baking dish. There may have been a lot of fat..!
Because it was so big, the crackling turned out really well, but the meat stayed nice and tender. It was awesome!
Stu decided we should watch Futurama. They're into season 13. But honestly they should just STOP. It's done its dash. 13.1 was pretty dumb too. Then I finished watching The Green Mile.
Monday. Slept like crap - awake for ages because I was hot. Another disjointed distracted day at work. The temperature today got to like 32C! Turned the cooler on for the first time this year. Yeah last week we had the heater on (briefly), this week we had the cooler on. That's Canberra for you. Leftover pork for dinner. Futurama 13.2 then blog reading and photo filing.
Tuesday. 1 Timothy 2:11 A woman[a] should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women[c] will be saved through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety. .... yeah hmmm. Again, makes you wonder how much of this is cultural.
Slept like crap again - awake for ages because I was hot. Even with the cooler fan going.
Busy being NEIL in the morning and not getting any other work done. My Christmas present arrived! ;) To be revealed.. one day..! Penultimate nuking session, finished the Wasgij jigsaw, then walked up and visited Neil.
Then battled peak hour traffic to get home. Canberra has peak hour traffic.. who knew!? Leftover pork and veggies (refried in the "aspic" - I don't know why you'd want to eat that stuff cold anyway - just use it as a kind of "stock" to fry stuff in - much more yummierer!) for dinner, Futurama 13.3, blogged my last two Diamond Dotz birds sets.
Wednesday.
Last nuking!!!!!!
Got conflicting advice about my skin. They're all like.. keep it moisturised.. but those bits, keep them dry. Like make up your mind. Rang the bell though hurray!
Got home and had a couple of beers and got Chong Co delivered for dinner then Futurama 13.4
Thursday. 1 Timothy 4:10 That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe. .. "all people" .. and "especially"..? what does that even mean?
Okish sleep. Opened the door under the "angel" tank to get the food out and it was tougher to open than usual. Which usually means swollen chipboard from a leak. Except I couldn't find where the leak was coming from. hrmmmm.
NEIL for a bit in the morning then fighting with new proxies. If you turn off inspection on a site it can't figure out what browser you're using, and so it blocks you (we block Firefox from general browsing and only allow it to some sites). But it won't give you an error, you just get a connection reset. So dumb. Then fighting with the test mail servers after someone spammed the hell out of them.
Went into drinks for the first time in months. Then it was a trivia night. It was one of THOSE trivia nights - stoopidly complicated question/marking setup (like three parts to an answer, each with two parts, and if you get one out of the two you get half a point, but if you get both parts right you get two points, oh and you have to mark each others, it's not marked centrally so there's no consistency in the scoring). Yeah so fricken dumb. One round wasn't even trivia, it was look at this picture for 10 seconds, then answer the crappiest stuff, like how many ears were in this picture, or how many feet were in this other picture. Not even trivia. Dumb dumb dumb. But my expecations for these trivia nights are so low now that I just didn't care. And I had bubbles. I don't even know what the final scores were, I didn't get a photo. I think we came third. They spun a wheel to determine who'd run the next one, and it missed us by one. Winning! Also, Gin picked me up some Subway to have for dinner.. first Subway in like three months!!
Friday. 1 Timothy 5:23 Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses. Yeah cause fresh water back in the day was usually contaminated, and alcohol killed a lot of the germs.
Logged onto work briefly to be NEIL for the overnight stuff, then took an RDO.
Did some washing, did some weeding, went shopping (actually had fairly successful shopping mission. Was chatting to Faye at Subway at lunch about how I'd been away with the C word, and she gave me a free cookie! So sweet :) ), took some cans for recycling and suddenly it's 15:45. And nowhere near enough done on my todo list. hrmmm.
I've missed Subway so much..!! So much that I had it for dinner last night then lunch today haha
Drinks at Jo's in the afternoon and Tony came too so that was a nice catchup.
Cooked up some veggies to go with some leftover pork. Futurama 13.5. Then I watched "Apollo 13: Survival" documentary on Netflix which was pretty interesting. Jim Lovell only died a couple of months ago, and Marilyn only a couple of years ago.
Saturday. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. .. not necessarily "money".. but the "love of money".
Got a few things done in the morning then we headed out. First up to "The Shed", an offshoot of the Green Shed. Quite a bit smaller than the old shed, but he only has the lease til December so he may find something bigger (and with better parking would be nice!). They still charged me $3 for jigsaws, although I have a feeling they only did that after I asked (they revised the total down). They charged $2 each for some plates which I thought was a little high. Oh well.
This would fit in nicely with Mum's collection :)
Then next door to the other second hand place there (Down Memory Lane, I think??). Mum would definitely recognise this ;)
Then out to the club for the "Spooktacular" halloween night. But first up went for a wander with the sweetie.
Then had a good long chat to Chris and Geoff. Then it was up to the shed for drinks and a spectacular charcuterie board, and an amazing dinner with lots of different things. Little bit of a late night but not too bad.
Sunday. Got up and went and tidied up the shed a bit, with a bit of help from Brenton. Then home via the Scottish Restaurant, which took them 18 MINUTES to deliver our food from when we first arrived. So much for FAST food. Also. BOM updated their website a few days ago, and in the process shut down the APIs used by third party apps for the radar. TWITTER MUCH??? I'm so pissed off that RainRadarAU doesn't work anymore - I always preferred it to the BOM app. Hopefully there will be enough backlash/complaints and they'll restore them. Got a few things done in the afternoon and pfft, there goes the weekend. Sigh.
