Today you will be with me in paradise

Sunday.  22nd.  Backdating cause long weekend aren't long enough.  Cooked up a bunch of veggies for dinner to have with the last of the leftover chicken.

All the veggies

Monday.  Slept ok.  Spent some time planning another firewall migration and tested it with some test traffic.  Filled the green bin with leaves while Stu cooked dinner - some gnocchi I got last time I went shopping, and using some of the mince I cooked last weekend with some tomato paste and cabbage.  It was very tasty.  Then photo culling and watched the Lego Masters finale which was fun.

Tuesday.  No notes.  Whoops.

Wednesday.  Sneaky trip to Sydney to see Brickman's Lego Jurassic World exhibition at the Australian Museum.  Will get that posted.  One day.

Thursday.  Not great sleep.  Nachos for dinner.  Soooo bad but soooo good.

Friday.  Slept ok.  Had a fun afternoon updating some diagrams.  In the evening was Whisky Live.  I hadn't been in a few years because we went two years in a row and it was a bit repetetive.  But this time there was *heaps* of new stuff I'd never even heard of before.  Took notes on lots of things.  I prolly better not mention how many different whiskys I tried :)  It was definitely not covid safe and I was worried about that for a while.  Then I started drinking and stopped worrying.  But as of a week and a bit later I'm still ok, so all good ;)

Saturday.  Slept relatively well considering. 

Cheesy hash browns

Mostly doing Lego stuff all day.  For dinner we went into Dickson for dinner.  We tried out Flavours of Jiangnan and had some very tasty brisket and pork.

Then watched Knives Out which was a bit silly but a bit of fun.  I loved one character's description of Daniel Craig's kentucky fried foghorn leghorn chicken southern drawl.  So true haha

Sunday.  Slept pretty well.  Lego and house stuff.  We're into season 25 of The Simpsons.  Then watched Edward Scissorhands which I hadn't seen since I saw it at the movies.  In 1990.

Monday.  Slept well enough.  Did a Green Shed run (dropped a bunch of stuff off and "only" left with six jigsaws) and a bottle drop off (finally took the Christmas party leftovers), and brunch at Teddy Picker's.

No idea for the evening.  Probably depressed about how short long weekends are :)
