This entry will likely get photos in a few days, so check back then :)
Tuesday. 28th. Woke up at ~2am with hurty then stayed awake til like 5am. So a slow and grumpy morning. Mum went home. Stu didn't sleep well either so we though we'd get food from the Scottish Restaurant for breakfast. The queue was super slow moving. And there were no eggs. wtf?? So I'm like, can you put a hash brown in the muffins instead of an egg but she couldn't comprehend that, and I could barely understand her accent and a truck pulled up with a delivery making a lot of noise so making it even worse. So I eventually get to pay but couldn't get a receipt because she said the printer wasn't working, and she said I could ask at the next window. So I asked at the pickup window, but they say they can't print receipts for drive though. FFS. Then when I got home, the neighbour was trying to get her car out so I had to back out onto the street but there were cars coming so we all had to wait. Finally get inside, of course there's no hash browns. I bet we've still been charged for eggs but we'll never know because there was no receipt. Fricken hopeless. So I was tired and now even more cranky, and then the neighbour was running the little digger machine he's hired which makes this drone that goes on and on and has been going most of the break. Epic #grunt. Tried to catch up on All The Things but it was slow going. I found a directory of 800+ work photos that I thought I'd tagged but apparently hadn't. Cooked up some veggies to have with leftover turkey for dinner.
Wednesday. Slept relatively well which was a relief, so I could finally get stuck into my holiday. In the morning I spent some time on things that I want to do every day to chip away at. Then the afternoon was blogging and copying files. USB 3 is a whole lot faster than USB 2, who knew? ;) (I did but it's quite nice). With omicron in the wild we'd been pretty dubious about going to the club at New Years, but then we found out from someone that there's actually heaps of people at the club, including a bunch from Sydney, so that made the decision for us. Made creamy pasta for dinner. The green stuff was a half-hearted attempt to pretend to be healthy!
Thursday. Another day of doing All The Things, including some of the daily stuff, and got our Dubbo holiday blogged. Lamb roast for dinner and finished season 2 of Sex Education.
Friday. Today! Last day of the year! Spent ages processing box 18 of Dad's slides (this one he'd mixed three trips to the Blue Mountains together, and two trips to Kurnell, and only a few of them dated, so had to figure out which ones were which and guestimate dates). Also looks like he hadn't dated any of his slides from late 1962, all through 1963, and into 1964. Fortunately with those he was still writing roll and frame number, so at least they can all be put into order. Then spent the rest of the day (pretty much) writing my year in review post. The plan for the rest of the day is probably to do a few bits and pieces, including music practise, get Chong Co delivered for dinner (might need to get in a bit early) then try and stay awake til midnight, just need to find the right movie(s) that will keep us entertained ;)
Happy New Year!
