January 24. That's today. You'd think with the new year I'd be more organised about blogging. Except I'm worse than ever. Really must work on that. So backdating this.
Thursday. 7th. The sweetie got a migraine after lunch and wasn't feeling the best, so I took him home and worked from home in the afternoon. No work drinks anyway, so just had a few quiet ones myself.
I got these at Ikea the other day. They were smelling out the whole study so I had to burn one to see what it was like :) Looks and smells like raspberry syrup.
Started watching Soul in the evening. Pixar animation of *stuff* is astounding. The people are still more like caricatures. I literally had no idea what the movie was going to be about (other than seeing a picture of the dude at the start), so when it veered off from what it started out as it was a bit surprising. Totally got the Interstellar reference there. It reminded me of Inside Out meets Coco meets Freaky Friday. One gripe: how did he pay the taxi? I loved how they used real locations. I actually went on street view to have a look. Like the intersection where they meet the crazy guy. There's a chemist just like that one there. And instead of Chase Bank, they've animated it as Pace Bank :) Couldn't find the spot where they're walking under the elevated railway, but I suppose I didn't look too hard. Then watched the making of Mandalorian Season 2 documentary.
Friday. Ok day. I updated a stack of mail flow diagram in the afternoon. In the evening watched When Marnie was There. Hands up who else thought Marnie was *creepy*..
Saturday. Slept in by like an hour! Yikes! Finally finished fixing up scanning of Dad's slides, as best I could. Any feelings of accomplishment at that task were destroyed by the non stop yapping dog. Apparently it's a staffy, and it clearly has separation anxiety. Can you report that as animal cruelty?
This is the Tupperware bowl that broke. I guess it was about fifty years old, and has been in constant use for most of that time, so I guess it had a good run!
Did our food shopping. Did a practise Citizenship Test online. I got 95%. No idea which one I got wrong. Spent the afternoon cleaning off my desk. I put away and moved a lot of stuff, and actually cleaned behind the monitors and the monitors. I also took all the crap off the side of the filing cabinet and the whiteboard, and cleared a lot of crap off the sides of the fridge as well. So the surfaces in here just seem a lot cleaner and less cluttered.
Stu cooked dinner - spinach/ricotta gnocchi with cream and mushrooms, yum! (it really is there under all that parmesan! ;) )
Into season 6 of The Simpsons. And watched the finale of season 3 of Discovery. Then chatted to Kit and Pete for a bit and got a tour of their new house.
Sunday. Began work on scanning the filing cabinet. The majority of what's in there I don't need to keep, so I'm scanning and recycling it. The idea being to only keep what I really need to, and have some space for Stu's stuff as well. Stu wanted to get some more fish, so we went out to get some, and he got me some platies as well. In eighteen years of fish keeping, I've never actually had them, so thought I'd give them a go in the "angel" tank. I started writing up my 2020 year in review post. We had an orange and five spice marinated pork for dinner which was very nice. And the sweetie and I even went for a walk after dinner.
