Sunday. 21st. Backdating because I was just too busy last weekend. Had slow cooked lamb shanks for dinner, and finally finished watching through Dug Days. Then I watched Ciao Alberto. If covid doesn't stop us I might be going "there" next year :) Watched the first episode of Squid Game. The english dub was super annoying, so put on the Korean subtitles, although that was annoying too because it felt the need to subtitle all the sound effects as well.
Monday. Ok day, did some cleaning. Did some weeding after work although no music practise - making a final push to get the last five hundred-odd photos labelled this week. Did 124 before dinner. Dinner was some frozen dim sum pieces we got so we could use up the bucket of sweet and sour sauce we got with the Chinese we had the other night. Finished labelling my quota by 19:17, but then kept going - doing 307 all up - all of day 53 - Sapporo to Tokyo. Only 247 to go!! Then watched Lie to Me and into season 5 of You Can't Ask That.
Tuesday. Ok day, planning for more cleaning. Started thinking about the risk assessment for our Christmas party. Weeding, music, leftover mango chicken for dinner. Then the final push to finish labelling photos from my Eurasia 2012 trip. At 500 photos per week, I was schedule to finish Wednesday, but I was so close I pushed through and finished it Tuesday! Twenty four and a half thousand photos labelled, taking nearly all year. What an epic achievement :) The flight from Sydney to Canberra on that trip was pretty cool - I managed to get photos of all three of my previous homes in Sydney :)
Wednesday. Rain! I shoulda put the deck chairs out in it for rinsing. Did more cleaning planning at work, and leftover lamb shanks for dinner. Have been doing a whole heap of tagging of people in work photos now using Picasa.
Thursday. Had to go to work *at* work, which meant taking the bus which was a bit awful. But everyone was wearing masks at least so that was good (it's still mandatory on public transport). But it was humid and disgusting and they didn't turn the air conditioning on in the office, so it was pretty miserable in the morning. Went to the mall with Neil at lunch, but maybe only 20% of people are wearing masks there. Blerf. The bar was open for the first time in over three months, so that was nice. Although not many people there. In the evening I put on Fantasia 2000 to get a photo of The Sorcerer's Apprentice with the jigsaw. Yeah yeah I know the jigsaw was from the original Fantasia, but the original is pretty boring, I like Fantasia 2000 much much better. Might have also put up the Christmas tree (just the tree though no decorations).
As usual, it's really not quite right
Friday. OMFG. Practically had a meltdown because I was trying to concentrate on *one thing* but literally every time I tried I would get interrupted again. I felt like just giving up on trying to do any work and just sit there staring at my screen waiting for the next question. #grunt. Eventually got some peace and quiet so got some stuff done, and some cleaning in the afternoon too which was nice. In the evening we watched the 80s version of Dune.. which was.. strange.. hmmm.
Saturday. Did the most essential weekend housework stuff before heading out to the club for the Christmas party. Did a bunch of work helping prep all the food and serve lunch, then drank and chatted all afternoon so that was all quite nice. Although I really hope noone brought covid along, that could be quite messy. Leftovers for dinner and an earlyish night.
Sunday. Slept relatively well. Got up early and came home so I could log onto work for an upgrade. Then spent the rest of the morning putting up Christmas decorations. But then by the time I'd done gardening and music practise it was late, so managed to download and process photos but not blog. Whoops. Roasted some veggies for dinner then pretty much just collapsed.
