Sunday. 17th. Backdating because, life. I need to retire. I had a nice day doing house stuff and hobbies, but I need a day like that every day for the rest of my life. Just to keep up. Cooked RecipeTin Eats garlic roast potatoes to go with some roast lamb (that was sadly very gristly).
Chrome is being super annoying. My blog is http only. Because when Movable Type was invented noone used https. And it hardcodes everything with full urls. But https is enabled on the domain, and because of that, Chrome will try to use the https site EVEN IF THE LINK YOU CLICK ON IS HTTP!!! The problem with that is the mixed content. It renders the images ok (clearly browsers have decided it's "safe" to allow mixed content images), but the style sheet is not rendered so the site looks dumb. It's pissing me off.
Monday. Slept ok. I think. Stoopidly busy day. Late finish (doing doco! hurray!) then some weeding. Leftovers for dinner. Then spent an hour waiting for the support peeps at Vodien to actually pay attention to the call they're on and reset my cpanel password after the great upgrade fiasco of the other week. What should have taken all of a few minutes took over an hour. Sigh. Gave up using the nice long Kogan iphone cable because it kept not working. Either not even registering at all, or saying it was charging but wasn't.
Tuesday. New iphone cable also playing up - saying it was charging but then not doing anything. Replug it in and it'll actually start charging. #grunt (although as of nearly two weeks later it's been ok). Busy day. Did some firewall cleaning. Weeding after work. Some frozen stuff from the parties for dinner. Finished writing up hotel posts for Europe trip. And finished season 23 of Air Crash Investigations.
Cape weed may be an invasive species but it is quite pretty
So. Many. Weeds.
Two kiev balls left, and those carbonara bites are yummy but the box is a rip off, only like half full.
Wednesday. Missed three calls in quick succession while the phone was in the bedroom while I was having breakfast. Sigh. Then a stoopidly busy day.
Apparently these are called scilla. I had one plant of them last year. This year I have like ten.
David came after work to install the new oven element. Except.
The design is different. It wasn't going to fit. #grunt. We all had a sad.
Watched The Orville 1.3.
Thursday.
Returned the element in the morning. So back to square one. Slightly more productive day. Trivia night in the evening. We came fourth. Some of the rounds were "normal" and therefore fun. But some of the rounds were just plain evil. And badly done too. Like there'd be five-part questions/answers with text so small you could barely read it. Like this BS.
How do you even mark that crap?? What if you get one out of order but the rest in order, do you get four out of five or none? And they did badly acted readings, this time from tv shows, but they didn't learn a damned thing from the previous people that ran it, AND YOU COULDN'T HEAR A DAMNED THING. Ridiculous.
Friday. Hurty in the middle of the night. Zombie day. Back to cold weather which was nice.
I actually had a really nice day because hardly anyone bothered me all day so I could concentrate on some decommission works.
Did some weeding after work. Before and after.
Went over to Ben and Sarah's for dinner which was lovely.
Saturday. Productive morning, and did some food shopping. Did RecipeTin Eat's mac and cheese for dinner, which was yummy but took two hours. hrmmm. It was too late and we were too tired to watch a movie so watched some Death in Paradise.
These cherry tree suckers are like a week or two old. Sigh.
I guess they're pretty .. but still..
This cracked me up - a lineup of Teslas! Two parked, and a third one just happened to come alone while I was taking a photo of them!
Sunday. 24th. Somewhat better sleep. Weeding, Lego inventorying and building, blogging, tax. Man, financial crap is such a pain in the @$$. You have to go into battle with every damned website and fight to get the information you need out of it. I really hate the ones that don't let you right click to save-as (which is like all of them these days). One site wouldn't let me download *anything* - you'd click on the link and nothing would happen. Sigh. Hate hate hate. Roast pork for dinner which was yummy.
Then watched the last episode of season 5 of The Crown, which was actually the last episode aired so far.
