Sunday. 26th. Backdating this on account being out the Sunday evening this was due.
Starting with the epic blue cheese potato bake I made. I hated blue cheese for the longest time, but having it cooked adds such a wonderful savoury flavour.
Monday. Went to bed nice and early, but then hurty kept me awake from 3-5 :( Spent all day documenting proxy policies. Leftover pork ribs and vegies for dinner. Labelled 160 Victoria photos. Then watched Martin Bashir's Diana interview, which in twenty five years I've never actually seen.
Tuesday. Took a while to get to sleep - feet were cold. Didn't achieve anything much useful all day. Too many problems and people talking to me. Labelled another 100 or so photos. Then watched "The Diana Interview: Revenge of a Princess 2021" which was a documentary about the interview mentioned previously.
Wednesday. Slept ok. Did a bunch of test proxy cleaning. Then dealing with more problems. Leftovers from the club for dinner (which Stu was decidedly unimpressed with). I might have had a sad. Labelled another hundred photos. Then watched Epstein's Shadow: Ghislaine Maxwell (part of it anyway, finished it later). After seeing Filthy Rich I'm so glad they went after her too.
Thursday. Took ages to get to sleep. Had a good morning doing proxy stuff. Optus had a Very Bad Day in the afternoon, cutting work off from the world. I hadn't gone into the office on account of all the covid floating around, so had a couple of drinks with the sweetie in the evening, including my own little whisky tasting, on account of missing the work one.
We watched the first episode of Obi-wan Kenobi which wasn't bad. Then I watched The Man from Snowy River. Such a glorious Australian film. Don't think I've seen it in years though.
Friday. More proxy work. Made "special fried rice" for dinner which was qute nice. Then watched An Affair to Remember. I've been wanting to see this movie for ages because of its references in Sleepless in Seattle. I probably should have not wasted a couple of hours of my life on it. It was pretty silly. And dumb. Like Ken is the sweetest guy ever, even standing by her and taking care of her even though she admitted an affair and wanted to leave him. Why would you give up someone like that to run off with someone who's a playboy and has already proven his willingness to cheat and run off with someone else?? Stoopid. But what was funny about it was they agreed to meet on July 1st. Which just so happened to be the night we watched it. Synchronicity!
Saturday. Tried to tidy the pantry in the morning because we keep losing stuff in there. Then did some food shopping at the markets and chemist.
Yikes!
Stu was sad the markets fish is in pieces (I think this thing was in the Sydney 2000 Olympics opening ceremony). They might still be planning to put it back.
Then spent most of the rest of the day cooking. hrmm. Put on a brisket first, then made up a breakfast lasagna for the sweetie, and also cooked up a bunch of chicken. And all the veggies.
These things are so good - just cream cheese and fried bacon bits rolled in chives. So simple but so tasty! Had to hide them so the sweetie wouldn't eat them all ;)
Breakfast lasagna I made for the sweetie
Brisket and veggies for dinner. I might have served myself way too much meat. Whoops.
Watched A Clockwork Orange in the evening. Strange strange movie. Although not as disturbing as the book apparently.
Sunday. A bit of fish stuff, but mostly Lego counting and scanning. Scanning is being problematic now. I'm getting through more rolls because I'm not scanning everything in them. But it does mean it's more hands on which I don't have the time for during the day (when doing a whole roll you stick two sheets in at a time and come back half an hour later to swap them out. But I don't really have time to sit and choose which ones to scan and swap them out more often). The other problem is that the negatives from 1994 have started to go very blue. Which means they scan bright yellow. hrmmm.
Finally got to try out drinks at The Howling Moon, a lovely rooftop bar with great views at sunset.
Oh yes, there were noms - olives (unfortunately not pitted) and arancini balls
Tried for dinner at Bentspoke but it was *packed* - don't come the first night of school holidays!!
So ended up at Mr Shabu Shabu
Couldn't be stuffed blogging when I got home, and then the week kicks in and it's all too hard...
