Every revolution begins with a single act of defiance

Sunday.  21st.  Cooked a yummy dinner of lemon butter chicken (chicken thighs, garlic, butter, lemon juice etc) and buttered veggies (mushrooms, zucchini, spring onions, butter, cream etc).  Crown 6.8.

Felt flat all day.  Spent too much time stressing about Tassie.  The buttplugs at Cradle Mountain won't let you drive to Dove Lake anymore (and charge you $15 each to take a shuttle bus).  Problem is the shuttles only run from 8am to 6pm but given we want to take our time with the walk there's a very real possibility we could miss the last shuttle.  Could you imagine then having to walk the extra ten kilometres out and back to the car???

Tony said he had a glut of basil, so I asked for some.  This is what he gave me..

All the basil

So spent like an hour using about two thirds of it to make two tubs of pesto

Is the juice worth the squeeze?  I dunno...

Wednesday.  Slept mostly ok.  Decided I should soften up the old Scarpas.  Oof they're very tough.  Got a bit of house stuff done and some Lego sorting.

For dinner I cooked a Mexican inspired dinner - beef mince with onion, bacon, garlic powder, taco seasoning, shredded pizza cheese and some cream cheese (omfg it was so good!!) and a salad of lettuce, cucumber, tomato, tasty cheese and coriander, with a dressing of Greek yoghurt, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, pepper and finely topped coriander) which was also really good.

Then I watched Hannah Gadsby's "Something Special".

Thursday.  Slept mostly ok but woke up at like 4:30 or something.  Mostly Lego sorting day.  Hurray.  Nearly done though.  I keep saying that, but there always seems to be more..  Made pizzas for dinner then Death in Paradise 8.2.

Booked some Tassie stuff which was good.  Man, how much of a ripoff is Strahan??  $200/night for essentially a caravan park.  Yeesh.  Went over to Chrissie's for dinner which was nice, haven't really seen her much since pre covid.
