Backdating a week cause, well, I'm a slacker ;)
Sunday we watched the second episode of Lego Masters where everything when kaboom! Fun times.
I remembered on Monday that I hadn't posted a funny I found in the new Lion King movie. In the original movie during the song Hakuna Matata, Pumbaa sings "And I got downhearted, Every time that I .." and Timon cuts him off and says "Pumbaa not in front of the kids". Well in the new one he actually sings "farted" which cracked me up ;) Got my quota of UK photos labelled early, all the more time for the jigsaw! Frustratingly slow though, because even if you know the *exact shaped piece* you still have to search through hundreds and hundreds of pieces to find it. Also started season 10 of BBT.
This was on my walk on Monday. I'm bribing these guys not to swoop me come spring time ;)
Tuesday I worked from home in the morning, then went into the city with the sweetie. We had lunch at Gus's which was really nice (both being able to go out and share a meal with the sweetie, and lunch wasn't bad either ;) ).
Went to the sweetie's doctor's appointment, then chucked one in for me as well. Went into work for a bit in the afternoon while I waited for the sweetie to do stuff at his office. They'd just put a sticker on "my" desk saying don't sit there. The disadvantage of hotdesking (with TINY desks) is you don't get proper social distancing. So whateves - whilever that sticker is on my desk I'll continue working from home. So being "at work" for the afternoon meant that I really didn't feel like cooking when I got home. So the sweetie got pizza. Hrmmm. The sweetie and I are relishing our time at home and working from home. We'd very happily never go into the office again. Of course we'd be even happier just being hermits and having a quiet life and not ever having to deal with people :)
Wednesday was too cold and miserable for a walk at lunch. And crazy crazy busy. And too much stoopid. Wasn't til after 5pm that I could actually leave all the busyness and get stuck into prep work I really needed to do for Saturday. For dinner I cooked the last of the leftover pork from the weekend with the last of a cabbage that I bought like six weeks ago, a sausage from the other night, a handful of green beens and the last of the pork jelly. It was a pretty random meal but tasty enough and used up a bunch of stuff in the fridge. And there was even leftovers for David! That morning I scanned 28 of Dad's slides, and in the evening got up to 1094 photos labelled from UK 2010. Nothing on the jigsaw though.
Thursday was chicken kiev for dinner (since we'd already had pizza this week). And watched Lego Masters episode 3.
Friday hurty kept me awake from 12:30 to 3:00 so was pretty tired all day Friday. Although I did manage to finish scanning a third box of Dad's slides for the week.
Saturday I was at work all day watching graphs during some DDoS testing. Stu made pea and ham soup for dinner from a soup packet mix I got from Chris's last year some time. I actually liked it better because it had chunky bits in it that didn't all just disintegrate like the peas do. Watched more Lego Masters.
I think Tassie is a little out of scale...
Sunday I alternated between the jigsaw and housework. Had Rob and Lynn over for roast lamb for dinner which was nice.
Monday morning I actually scanned a whole box of 36 of Dad's slides all before work. I still wonder if I should have (or should) invest in a slide scanner. Rob and Lynn said they did and managed to get through thousands of slides in just a few weeks. Dad actually did, and I have it downstairs, but I haven't really played with it and not sure how good it is (or how fast it is). I'm actually really happy with the results that I'm getting from the scanner Stu got me for Christmas in 2005. It's slow, sure, but the quality seems pretty good (to me). And if I continue to scan a box a day I'll be done by Christmas.....! In the evening I did another 200 UK photos. All of them in Japan. hrmm :) Also roasted a couple of trays of potatoes to have with the leftover lamb.
And that's up til then. No movies to quote though for the blog subject. Guess I'll just have to use one from last week ;)

Re Dad.s slide copier. I think the main objection he had to it was that it seemed to pick up every scrap of dust, so he had to clean each slide really well. I don't remember how fast it worked as I didn't have anything to do with it.
