Kazza the Blank One

Last weekend we had a five day long weekend and went to Bathurst, Lithgow, Newnes, Glen Davis, Gulgong and Dubbo.  When I've chosen some photos I'll get it up on the holiday blog.  We arrived home Tuesday afternoon maybe a bit before 4pm.  The neighbourhood dogs were yapping.. non stop.. til well after 6pm :(  Very upsetting.  Spent quite a while downloading and processing photos from the trip.  At 5pm I went to cook dinner, but by the time we'd eaten and cleaned up it was after 7pm :(  I put on Sunday's Lego Masters and started writing up the holiday blog entry text.

Wednesday.  Slept fairly well.  Didn't try to do any slide scan fixing, just too stressful, so just finished writing up the holiday blog text, finished unpacking, and tidied the house.  Felt a whole lot more in control.  At lunch I had another look in Kmart for jeans.  They had a whole new stock, and actually managed to find some that sort of fitted.  Apparently the fashion trend at the moment is for "high rise" or "extra high rise" which is utterly ridiculous.  So found some that were "mid rise" which are still a lot higher than they should be but look only somewhat ridiculous.  They have pockets that will hold my phone, but only just, and if I don't get it jammed all the way in it's likely to fall out.  Sigh.  In the evening I didn't try and do any photo labelling - just caught up on blogging from two weeks ago while watching Monday's Lego Masters.  Was hoping to have last week's blogging done too but that was not to be.

Thursday.  Caught up on last week's blogging in the morning.  Going into the office is pretty miserable at the moment.  Another team have decided to move themselves into our area, but they're super noisy (Thursday they talked literally non stop about mostly non-work stuff for the first full half hour I was in), and they're always in meetings, which means I'm in their meetings, which makes me *super* uncomfortable.  *Hating* going into the office at the moment.  Drinks was good though, and we made more Mexican pizzas for dinner.

Friday.  The sweet relief of not having to *go* to work.  My mornings are so much more relaxed, and I had time to put on my washing and hang it out and do some slide fixing before work.  Did a heap more cleaning in the afternoon.  In the evening Stu put on a new anime series - A Place Further than the Universe - which was a bit silly but ok.  

Saturday.  May Day.  How'd we get to be a third of the way through the year already?  A day of All The Things. 

We ordered a frame online for my paint by numbers.  It was all quite nice except they'd mounted the mounting bracket off-centre.  Idiots.  So it doesn't hang straight, I'll probably need to get some rubber feet or something to stop it moving.

I also dismantled the Titanic model, and got to look at the innards that David mostly did. 

I pulled it apart in sections to make it easier to do next time.  There was no way it was all going back in the box though!

Late in the afternoon I'd had enough so put on Playing Beatie Bow, which I saw a long long long time ago (we read the book in school), which someone had put on YouTube. 

In the evening we went over to Rob and Fiona's for Rob's 51st (we couldn't do a 50th last year because covid).  A lovely evening but a couple of hours past my bed time..
