Sunday. 28th. Backdating because I'm a slacker. And my weekends are too short. Just adding a few photos for the day.
Most expensive petrol I've ever seen in Australia
Finished decorating the Christmas tree on Sunday
And played with light
Monday. 29th. Slept ok. Finished doing the risk assessment for the bbq. Did some planning for a new firewall. After work was gardening and music and suddenly it's 18:30. Ploughing through tagging people in work photos. I want to get the first pass done by Christmas. Along with everything else on my todo list.
Did you know whitetail spiders will live in a container at least two weeks? That's how long it took me to release the biggest whitetail I've ever seen. So gross.
Tuesday. Slept ok, although woke up early again for the second day in a row (~5:40am). Spent most of the day auditing unneeded firewall rules. It was 25C in the study by mid afternoon. Stu decided it was hot enough to turn the cooler on. Leftovers for dinner (Stu cooked while I did weeding and music practise).
Wednesday. December. How'd that happen?? Stu had to *go* to work which was no fun. I spent a chunk of time helping someone with a problem, which if they'd followed my damned doco they wouldn't have had in the first place. #grunt. So many hours wasted. It was a frozen pizza kind of an evening (although Chris didn't have any Doc Oc pizzas, so we had McCains). Because all the weeding. And Stu was exhausted after work. It threatened to storm but never did, got like three drops of rain. Then paying bills and doing All The Things like photo labelling and emailing people and sorting out backups and registering for rates by email (*again* because I'd done this previously but they stuffed up the whole system last year). And I'm really really looking forward to weekly green bin pickups.
Thursday. Woke up at like 4:30am hrmmm.
Did a whole bunch of deleting of rules in the afternoon which felt realy good. Had Sichuan Chinese takeway for dinner. It was very nice, but also very expensive, something like $66 for this.
Simpsons, X Files and first episode of season 1 of Sex Education. We watched season 1 independently a while back (I think I might have watched it while recovering from having my appendix out), and I'd seen all of season 2, but Stu only got to see bits of season 2 when David binge watched it here. So we're going back to the beginning to freshen up for season 3.
Friday. Another fairly early wakeup. Finished up writing up my next round of deletions. Did some doco in the afternoon. Weeding and frozen dim sum for dinner. Watched The Matrix in the evening. Lolz www.whatisthematrix.com redirects to Matrix Resurresctions site.
Stu got a tea advent calendar for Christmas from Annie, so we've been working our way through it. Not that I actually drink tea, but I've been trying all these. Some are actually interesting.
Saturday. Super productive morning cleaning and organising and stuff. Not so productive in the afternoon. Finished season 5 of You Can't Ask That. During the week I started getting popups that I should run a chkdsk to fix some drive issues. hrmmmm. I finally decided to reboot and let it do it on Saturday afternoon.
Yep, it's rooted.
After the reboot there was a whole bunch of directories on that drive I couldn't actually get into at all anymore.
Fortunately it's my E: drive which only gets touched once a week when I process my photos for the week. And I'd backed it up the night before it had a spack so I didn't lose anything. So now the decision is, do I get a new drive, or a whole new computer. Given my computer is over nine years old, I'm thinking new computer.
Arribbiata bake for dinner, tv and Die Hard (it's Christmas!).
Sunday. We were going to go shopping together at some point on the weekend, but with Omicron in the wild and only a few weeks til Christmas, I decided to play it safe and go shopping super early Sunday. I also dropped into work to pickup the hard drive I'd last backed up my E: drive to, so I could copy it to another local location (so that I have copies in two physical locations). All The Things in the morning. Into season 6 of You Can't Ask That. Cooked All The Food in the afternoon - roast chicken, beef cheeks, mince and a heap of veggies. And blogged. Just not the past week.
