Sunday. 16th. Mum not in the country to wish happy birthday to. Cath's basa bake, cabbage bake and veggies for dinner.
How funny is this garlic we had for dinner. The one in the middle is a regular sized clove, but the other four are EPIC! This was basically the entire head of garlic - five bulbs!
Then watched the last episode of season 1 of Shogun. It was good and all but I really struggled to keep up with who was who which did affect my enjoyment of it. Then an early night.
Monday. Slept generally ok I guess. Busy day dealing with all the crap. Then after work it was just cleaning the kitchen and cooking. Sigh. After dinner was photo culling, Lego part listing and USA Lego Masters.
Stu had a top hat arrive this week!
Tuesday. Slept ok. Was filing some of my Sydney photos and nearly blatted 54 photos because the Canon and iPhone photos happened to have the same number range on the same date - so there were conflicting file names! And this was just after me coming across a single conflicting file name from the Canon/iPhone but this time both the date *and* the time were the same (holiday photos get renamed with date and time, but regular photos just have the date). Of course David will think I'm dumb, because he renames his photos as year-month-day-hour-minute-second-number-<label> so there's never any conflicts, but this is literally the first time this has happened to me!
Wednesday. Took ages to get to sleep and woke up early but slept ok in between. Had a moment where I wanted to rage quit my entire job because everything Microsoft does is TRASH. Every product of theirs EXPECTS you to be directly connected to the internet, as if firewalls and proxies don't exist. They're utterly delusional and I HATE it. But I did get to delete lots of stuff which always makes me happy. Had a beer with Jim after work again which was nice, his idea this time. Pretty much all I did when I got home was backup my computer and watch an episode of Lego Masters.
And deal with this beer disaster!
Thursday. Slept ok. Another day of deleting All The Things which was pretty cool. And technically not even my job (supposed to be another team's job) but satisfying nonetheless. Made pizzas again for dinner. Mash then watched the Lego Masters USA season 1 finale. They all did amazing builds, and they all deserved to win. I called it with ***spoiler alert*** Tyler and Amy winning, although I would have liked Mark and Boone to win too!
Oh, and the freezing nights finally caught up with the mini capsicums!
I picked the three biggest, and the next day picked four even smaller ones
Used one of the mini capsicums on pizzas!
Friday. Awake from like 3 til 5:30. Sigh. Updated a bunch of doco for all the crap I deleted. And just bits and pieces. Kievs for dinner, then Mash and Death in Paradise 9.7.
Saturday. Took ages to get to sleep because my feet were cold, then woke up early but slept generally ok in the middle. Got a bunch of stuff done in the morning.
I'm convinced that geraniums could survive the apocalypse. This stem of geranium has been out of the ground since like FEBRUARY. And yet it lives! In fact that leaf wasn't even there a month or so ago. The thing just keeps on growing!
After lunch we headed out to the club. Lit the fire I'd prepared last time, then the sweetie had a sleep while I went back to Queanbeyan to get my nails done! There was a lady at work who was looking to do it as a side hustle and wanted people to practise on. They generally turned out pretty well although she had a bit of trouble with the extensions on the three nails that were broken in the past week or so (this was the first time she'd tried it with this method/materials). So they're a bit rough but still look good overall. Except it did take 2.5 hours.. whoops.. heh.
Headed back to the club just in time to get ready for Chris and Ian's anniversary formal night! The theme was royal blue, top hats and tiaras! Hence the blue nails.
Rob got a nice photo of me on the couch
There were blue table cloths
And as always an epic feast!
As always a lovely night.
Sunday. Bit restless sleep and hands kept falling asleep. But even though it was freezing we were quite comfortable with our down/feather doona. Went up at 8:00 and helped clean up the shed for an hour before we headed home. Stopped in at Queanbeyan McDonalds for breakfast (epic queue!). Decided to try the new chicken/bacon mcmuffin. So ordered (and paid) for that. But the retards at McDonalds Queanbeyan forgot to put the bacon on. And the chicken pattie was a bit dry anyway. Won't be ordering that one again. Other than that just a nice quiet day doing some photo stuff and Lego stuff and even got to build a new set! Next week! Maybe...!
