Rulers are malignant... A much better title for The Crown?

Sunday.  28th.  Not backdating for a change!  Roast turkey and all the veggies for dinner.  Then Futurama/Crown.

Monday.  Slept ok.  Day of trying to do All The Things - cleaning, photo culling, etc.  Also went into battle with the Dodgy Dyson.  Cleaned everything out, and reseated the battery.  No luck.  Fricken POS.  It's like Dyson programme these things to just stop working after a couple of years to force you to buy new stuff, even when the old stuff is perfectly fine.  Cooked a very nice tuna casserole for dinner.  Also, it was 18 years ago tonight that I met the sweetie in person!

Tuesday.  Slept ok.  Filled with rage that the Electrolux cordless vacuum cleaner we have as backup has also decided its battery is no good.  So now we have no working cordless vacuum cleaners.  Sigh.  Ok day.  I think.  I forget.  Creamy fettuccini for dinner.  Finished first pass cull of cruise photos, and into final culls.

Not convinced by this Hutwoods candle.  It sure smells nice, but this huge reed wick burns funny and then splits

Wednesday.  Slept ok.  Quiet morning.  Then found MESS - someone had put some test servers in a prod group, so I HAD to fix it.

Leftovers for dinner, and finished final culls up to day 6.  Then watched the Lego Grandmasters final.  OMFG such amazing builds!!

Thursday.  Took *forever* to get to sleep but then slept ok.  More mess cleaning, and generally catching up.  Super quiet drinks.  Pizza.  Watched John Oliver's take on AI, which has foibles such as deciding that images of skin cancer with rulers in them are much more likely to be malignant.  

Friday.  Slept ok.  Ok day.  My birds didn't come to see me.  Chicken kiev for dinner, then watched My Octopus Teacher which was beautiful.

Saturday.  Sneaky trip to Wagga Wagga to see the Lego brick show (might get a selection of the 600-odd photos online one day).  Stopped at the Bethungra Spiral but the lighting wasn't great.

Sunday.  Nothing much.  Did start a jigsaw and get a quarter of the way through it.  Then the usual Sunday afternoon crap, including feeling that life and weekends are far too short.
