Tuesday. 11th. Backdated. Hurty from 3:30 til like 5:30. Sigh. Ok day I guess. Some tidying. Figuring out how to renew a certificate on one of our appliances. Looking Back, Moving Forward night at the Shine Dome, with Bradley Moggridge (fresh water) and Mibu Fischer (marine biologist) and the work they're doing with indigenous knowledge on water management. Interesting, and I do wonder if indigenous people have any better ideas on how to manage water, given there's 25 million people here now we need to feed and water. I'm sure there's no easy solutions. Short of stopping all breeding and immigration. Dinner at 10 Yards after which was nice.
Wednesday. Slept relatively well, but had to wake up stoopidly early cause Stu was having breakfast in town. Did some policy work with Neil. We started a new jigsaw which was an "Impossibles" series, but is actually super easy. Oh, the other day I think I mentioned that windoze wall papers were doing ok between desktops. Well after the storm and reboot on the weekend they'd been stuffed up, and only came good on Wednesday night.
Thursday. Took *forever* to get to sleep (like after 12:30). And then work up at like 5:30. Sigh. Fought with the certificate replacement on the appliance. Nothing is ever easy. Especially with certificates. Ok drinks. Pizza and early night.
Friday. Slept from like 20:30 til 5:45 hurray!! Cotter Pumping Station Tour! Will put that in another post. Then dropped past the optometrist to pick up my new glasses. Got there at 13:08 and there was a sign on the door: Back at 1:30pm. Sigh.
So got some lunch at Flavours of Jiangnan. But they only take cash. WTF??? There may have been leftovers.
So got my glasses. The optometrist wasn't even there, just the receptionist. Bizarre. So noone to adjust the glasses to fit my head. The dude's father took a lot more care. This one.. well.. here you go, have fun. #grunt. Good news is they work really really well for the screen - I can SEEEEE again! But distance is a strain. He said they would be, but it wasn't really noticeable when he was doing the testing. Question is, is it "good" strain or bad? Dropped into Frank and Karen's after work to taste a few of their growlers, and see their Titanic and Colosseum. Epic!! Leftover yellow curry for dinner and Fantasia 2000.
Saturday. Slept relatively well. Busy day doing All The Things. Got lots done. Did a Bunnings run and got a shiny new toilet seat.
Also started the section box of the Lego Titanic. Probably exactly while it was sinking 111 year ago. Episode 6 of Boba Fett and 4.5 of Death in Paradise.
Eat the fridge week dinner
Sunday. Slept okish. Woke up around 3 for ages, then broken sleep. More of doing All The Things. Mostly culling down the cruise "people" photos and sorting them out to send to people. Did some music but for too long, which put me behind schedule for photos and blogging before dinner. I also bought iMazing. Purely to save me the drama of fixing the timestamps on my pngs and movs. And it randomly not copying files. And then found a very happy side effect. I use IrfanView to resize my photos into a "working" copy. Usually it takes *forever* to resize my phone photos. Been having issues for quite a few years. But the files copied off with iMazing resize at lightning speed - same as the Canon and phone photos from years past. So that's nice. Also with iMazing, looking at the "file system" view is a lot quicker than the Photos view (I have nearly 40000 photos so it takes *forever* to load), but it's not as nice to look at. There's just not enough damned TIME. I need to retire. Kiev for dinner, then Crown. Watched a bit more of Avatar, then talked to the brother type person then the mother type person, so didn't finish it. Oh well.
