Monday. I already covered this in the last post, but here's some pictures of the disgusting looking black goop that is @notquitenigella's Asian Beef Cheeks. Served with rice and cabbage it's soooo good!
Tuesday. Woke up cranky that I was so far behind in *everything*. Mainly photo processing and labelling. And that I had to go to work when I just have so much to *do* at home. I was so cranky that I didn't even feel like singing along to the Hallelujah Chorus when it came on the radio :( Had an ok day at work though - planning for a new server build. Super late home though. Leftovers for dinner, then blogged two blog entries and labelled a hundred and fifty photos or so, so all is not lost (at least not any further behind than I am already).
Wednesday. Ok day. Jim organised a bunch of us to go to Belco Kebabs. I split one with XL which ended up with a sane amount of food for the two of us, and they do Monday-Wednesday $10 kebabs at lunch, so it only cost us $5 each! Amazing value.
Home late. Sorted photos from the past week and selected some for the blog. Only 57 photos labelled though, now a full week behind. Finally finished the lemon cheesecake for dessert.
Thursday. School holidays at the mall. Kill me now.
Drinks was pretty good, got to try some of the wines I missed out on last week because I didn't go in.
Friday. Still pretty quiet due to peeps not being able to deploy new servers, so time to find things to do. Played with getting trusted certs installed on an admin interface, and planning a bunch of cleaning. Three of my birds came to see me at lunch. Did twenty minutes of periwinkle hacking (ten minutes at lunch and ten after work).
Our chrysanthemums come out a little early for Mother's Day..
Watched some tv with the sweetie in the evening, then I watched The Color Purple. Most of it was pretty darned depressing. Got a bit better at the end. Found out that Netflix will now give you a few weeks notice if something is planning to be cut. This was one of them - last day to watch April 30. Fine, except you'll have to regularly check your Watchlist to keep an eye on things, because it only notifies you about things ending soon. And I'll be pissed if they pull tv shows we're in the middle of watching before we get a chance to watch through them.
Saturday. All. The. Things. !! Got through a massive long todo list of stuff, mostly houseworky type stuff.
Making slow but steady progress hacking my way through the periwinkle
Also lunch out and some food shopping. In the afternoon I finished watching Challenger: The Final Flight documentary on Netflix. I still tear up watching that footage. Go figure.
In the evening Rob and Fiona came over for epic roast lamb, great conversation and sackbut playing!
This beer was very interesting - a Belgian beer matured in red wine barrels!
Sunday. Today. Cooked potato and zucchini cheesy hashbrowns for brunch
I used two potatoes and an old zucchini that needed using up, which was a heap of food, so didn't actually need any lunch! I think I had a bit of cheese on a cracker, and a carrot.
Other than that, a pretty quiet day, really not getting much done other than a whole bunch of blogging - some recent entries, as well as some This Day in History posts. Some of those won't show up in an RSS feed because they're backdated, so when I'm caught up I'll give you a link.
Stu prepped Japanese hotpot, which promises to be yummy! (this isn't everything, there's still meat to be prepped)
Edit: added more pics of the hotpot later:
At least I'm not backdating for a change ;)
