All I want for Christmas is you

Monday.  20th.  Backdated because Christmas and Junee got in the way, more on that in later posts :)  Ok sleep, ok day, doing all the things.

Tuesday.  Whoops, woke up to find I'd left the lounge room Christmas lights on all night.  Ok day, trying to get things done in the morning, and upgrades in the afternoon.  

Wednesday.  More upgrades (had to redo test because they released another version between yesterday and today).  Made a mint slice, did some weeding, then prod upgrades in the evening.  Not really something I wanted to be doing a few days before Christmas, but, log4j.

After I finished work I had some eggnog and brandy which was very nice

Thursday.  Woke up a bit after 4am, don't think I got back to sleep.  Mask mandate reintroduced (about fricken time).  Quiet day.

Went on a mission in the evening to Bunnings to get vouchers and to work to swap out my hard drives and to Sichuan Chinese to pick up dinner.  Yeah the fried chicken never made it home (I had to take this on the way home after we'd already made a start).

Friday.  Woke up at 3:41 and didn't get back to sleep for ages.  Quiet morning.  Had lunch at Herbert's with Tony.  Chatted to the neighbours for quite a while in the afternoon (both of them, and saw the renovations they've done so far to Kit's old place).  Stu cooked pork larb for dinner which was very nice.  Watched Love Actually and the Carols by Candlelight (although that made for a late night).

Jalapeno poppers (they were quite hot this time), and prawn and chorizo skewers at Herbert's
