Kazza the Blank One

Backdating, but only by two days ;)

Sunday.  Slow cooked some lamb shanks.  We went and visited Annie and the family in the middle, so instead of putting them in later, I put them on earlier, but at quite a low temperature.  They actually turned out really well.  But I didn't manage to get any leftovers.  Doh.  

In the evening watched the last episode of The IT Crowd (the one-off final special).

Monday.  Woke up at like 5am.  No notes for the day (it's been a bit of a nothing week).  Leftovers for dinner and watched episode 10 of Against the Wind.

Tuesday.  Better sleep.  Was scanning Dad's slides of San Francisco and came across these.  I might have LOLed.  A lot.

Noted that I had an ok day, but that I'd gone on strike house-wise.  Can't remember why.  But I was cranky at everything and so Stu cooked dinner - duck and plum gyozas with bok choy and rice.  Very nice.

Wednesday.  Ok sleep.  Went into town for a doctor's appointment.  Had ten minutes or so before it was due so thought I'd grab a quick lunch at KFC.  Ha.  Firstly it was *slow as*, and when I finally did get to order, they said they had no fillets.  And I'm like WTF?  And he was like, do you want a zinger.  NO, I want a fillet burger.  And this was after David the other night had tried to get a fillet burger at Gold Creek KFC and they had no fillets.  You could maybe understand that because it was very late at night, but I was in Garema Place at lunch time.  No fricken excuse KFC!  So I walked out in disgust.  And met up with the sweetie who let me have some of his KFC - Korean fried chicken - at Cocorea.

Fighting with migrating CVS to a new server in the afternoon but I couldn't figure it out because I'm dumb.  Stu was late to pick me up because of a burst water main on Barry Drive.  So we got pizza.  Blerf.  Watched episode 11 of Against the Wind.

Thursday.  Ok sleep.  I think.  Ok day.  I think.  Work drinks were good.  

Friday.  Took a random day off.  Woke up early but got a bit more sleep, but a bit of a slow start. 

Michelle's strawberries are doing great!

Washed the sheets.  Then we ran errands.  Took about a dozen wine boxes full of books to Lifeline.  Went to the tip to drop off the old oven, all its trays, and the old extenda-line, which turned out to be free because it was all primarily metal!  Win!  Then to the Green Shed.  I picked up a big pile of jigsaws, as well as a chest of drawers I want to use as a pantry in the van.  $15 for all the jigsaws and $10 for the drawers.  Not bad :)  Came home briefly then headed out again for Stuey R's farewell.  Didn't get much done in the afternoon - too sleepie.

So this week we had our roof restored.  Wednesday they cleaned.  Thursday they primed.  Friday morning they did the first coat.  Friday afternoon they did the second coat.  Just before the rain that was due Friday night!

Friday evening met up with EffanC for drinks at the Pot Belly.  Got home minutes before the rain started.

Saturday.  Slept fairly well.  Did heaps of things on the todo list, but nowhere near enough. 

First batch of strawberries!  Although slugs had gotten to one of them otherwise would have had four.  #grunt

Went over to EffanC's for dinner, with Robert and Ian.

This is the bottletop of a Great Northern beer

Can you see the bird?

Sunday.  Woke up after 3am some time and never got back to sleep.  So a very slow start.  Had brunch at The Scottish Restaurant then did our food shopping.  Too tired to do anything much.  In fact we both had a nap in the afternoon.  Well I didn't have much of a sleep - my body simply refuses to sleep, even when it's super tired.  A bit after 3pm I got up and spent the rest of the afternoon cooking.

I cooked all this (except one of the bags of potatoes).  Two trays of roast veggies.  Then roast beef with another two trays of veggies.  A kilo of mince with bacon, onion and garlic, and honey mustard chicken.

After dinner I ended up with five meals of roast beef and veggies, four of honey mustard chicken, mince in four containers to be cooked with whatever, and two extra containers of roast veggies.  Basically enough food for the entire week.  And probably even longer.
