Monday. 5th. Slept ok. Got on early to see if there were any problems from Friday's work but haven't heard of any. More cleaning planning. Hacking photinia and creeper after work. Basa bake for dinner. Then watched crap on the internet while filing photos, and did some music.
Tuesday. Woke up before 4 and never got back to sleep. Sigh. I don't even know what I did all day. Did some weeding at lunch. Had leftovers for dinner. Music after dinner again. Oh I started watching Survivor Canberra, a fan-produced show which is actually pretty decent (aside from audio quality issues in one of the early episodes).
Wednesday. Woke up at like 5. hrmm. Very distracing day. Everyone wanting All The Things. Went and run a heap of errands at lunch - bought some new pj bottoms, bought some bubbly, booked an eye appointment and went to the bank to get pretty green ones for the kids. We won't mention the old fart who barged past me waiting outside the bank to go in, then convinced himself that he was next despite me saying I was waiting outside. Buttplug. But I did see Fleur from Lego Masters in the mall! I almost said hello but I just wasn't sure (I have no idea where any of the contestants are even from). After work caught up wih Aaron at the lighty which was nice. Talked about everything and nothing. Mostly work I guess.
Thursday. Solar installation day!! One guy spent all day moving out roof files, grinding them down, and attaching mounting brackets. In the afternoon another guy came as well and they got most of the panels up. Went in to work for drinks. Pork larb for dinner.
Friday. The solar guys had the power off most of the day to completely rewire the switch board and plumb in all the devices. I used the lack of electricity time to sort out all the boxes we've collected over the past couple of years. At lunch time I went in for round two of work Christmas parties which was a very pleasant afternoon. Chicken kiev for dinner and the second episode of Picard.
The first step is admitting you have a problem..
Saturday. Solar guys installed the battery and associated cabling. They wandered off in the middle of the day but didn't actually tell us they were done for the day. In the meantime, Stu hired a carpet shampooer to attack the moldy carpet where the shelf had been downstairs. It did a decent job although is not perfect. Also did the hallway and some bits of the lounge room and study. I was trying to attack my todo list but it was all too hard and ended up wasting most of the day catching up on rss feeds. Sigh. After dinner went over to see Mila in advance of her 21st birthday.
These are all the seeds from *one* poppy head!
Sunday. Went out for brunch at Market St Eats and did some food shopping. Then cooking pretty much all afternoon (although did squeeze in twenty minutes of music). Sigh. Jenn came over for dinner - a very overcooked vege lasagna. Then a relatively early night.
A mummy-long-legs and her babies (being evicted from the house)
Monday. Woke up at 1:40 to the thunder of a coming storm. And then didn't get back to sleep til like 4. Sigh. Bit of a zombie day. Another day of all the people wanting all the things. Solar guy spent all day wiring up the battery. Apparently these things are so new that there's a few design quirks that need to be worked around. He disconnected power a bit after lunch for like twenty minutes to hook it in. Leftovers from first work Christmas party for dinner. And caught up on blogging. I still can't get Geosetter to work. It died last week - refuses to load the map. I suspect it's because it's using an ancient IE api that Google no longer supports (as of the end of November, so the timing fits), but noone else is complaining on the forum so I have no idea. Might have to start looking for another photo geotagging app.
