Wednesday. 8th. Arrived home mid morning. Had a shower and put on a load of washing. Then spent ages unpacking and putting everything away. Then I went into battle to get my photos downloaded. The SD cards are easy enough, they "just work", well, when windows recognises them after inserting/reinserting several times before it'll read the cards. The iPhone on this computer does seem to be at least presenting all my files (when I was away, I was finding that the phone simply wasn't even presenting all the files to windoze so I couldn't actually even back everything up properly. Very frustrating). At least they seem to work on my home computer. Well, except for the odd jpg and mov file that refuse to copy - they copy with 0 bytes for jpgs, or simply unreadable for the movs. At least I got most stuff off. Managed to stay awake all day which was actually pretty impressive. Washed my hair before dinner because I didn't think I'd feel like it after. The sweetie got Chong Co for dinner which was nice. Then I went to bed.
Thursday. Slept from about 20:20 to 5:12. Got up and backed up files to memory sticks. Also got the last of the GPS tracks off. Had breakfast with the sweetie at 54 Benjamin which was nice. Had a good chat about a few things. Had to be Neil at work, as well catching up on the over 500 emails I got while I was away. Sausage sizzle at drinks so didn't need dinner, so the sweetie made himself a pizza. Another early night.

Friday. Went to bed at 19:30 and slept til a bit after 3. Tried to get more sleep for another hour but gave up and got up after 4 to continue backing things up and catch up on RSS feeds. Continued being Neil and catching up on emails at work. In the afternoon a big disk array had a sad which took a bunch of stuff offline which kinda wrote off my afternoon. And I couldn't see either so that wasn't much fun. Called it at 16:15. Tried to do some weeding but it was too hot. Went through holiday receipts to start sorting out our holiday expenses and what David and I owe each other. Chicken kiev for dinner. We started watching the first episode of The Book of Boba Fett but I was struggling to stay awake because i was so tired.

Saturday. Went to bed early again, but this time woke up around 1am and never really got back to sleep. Sigh. Used the fact I was awake to go see the balloons. Except by 6:50 there were still no balloons aloft, which wasn't a good sign. Sure enough, they weren't flying because the wind was blowing towards the airport. Oh well. So went and said hi to Neil. Also stopped at the arboretum to see the commercial balloons that were out there. Then home to do All The Things. Did some washing and got the problematic jpgs and movs off my phone. Also fixed the timestamps on all the movs and pngs because Apple messes with them. Had lunch at Pattysmiths with the sweetie then did our food shopping. Unboxed the Titanic and made a start on it. Had Asian style salad for dinner, since we'd had such a big late lunch. After whatever the last patching did, Notepad in windows is now tabbed. But. If you have multiple Notepad windows open, windows doesn't actually tell you the name of the file, they're all just labelled "Notepad". Far out I hate windows. Turns out this new "feature" is in fact a bug. Sigh.

Sunday. Went to bed at like 7:50 and slept til after 5 hurray! Still awake early enough to go do balloons take two. It was quite breezy so I was surprised they took off at all. And it was quite cloudy so not great for photos, but did get the sun a couple of times here and there so got a few nice shots. Worked on photo renaming and filing (and fixing exif time data on photos where the time zone hadn't been set right). Also did a bit of weeding. Stu cooked a Japanese curry for dinner which was quite nice. Then watched When Harry Met Sally.
I decided to use the tin of blueberries in the pantry before they were like ten years out of date. This tin was only six months past its best before..

Monday. Slept from about 21:30 til around 5:44 which was nice. Had another day of doing All The Things. Lots of house/fish stuff, photo processing, cooking, and a couple of sections of Titanic. Such a busy day and nowhere near done on my todo list. I don't have time to go to work there's just too much to DOOOOOO!!! Super frustrating.
