Sunday. 4th. Cooked a nice potato bake, kalettes, veggies and another perfectly cooked head of garlic, to go with some leftover pork.
Monday. Awake around 4 for like an hour or so. But over eight hours sleep I guess so not *quite* as tired as yestrday. Logged onto work and saw I might have broken stuff on Friday. But couldn't figure out what. Con eventually figured out what it was a bit before lunch. Guess their post change testing was flawed. Annoyed at myself for not figuring it out sooner though. Dinner was a bunch of stuff that need using up in the fridge - mushrooms, bacon, feta, shallots, cream and basil. Yummy but very salty.
Finished culling my Tassie photos which is a bit of an achievement. Watched the fourth part of the Olympics opening ceremony. In some ways more people saw the ceremony .. but actually most people saw a lot less. You had to be at the right spot on the Seine to see any of the performances, which means probably most people only saw the athletes on the boats. And only a very small number of people actually saw the official bit. Also bwhahahaha they put the flag on upside down! #fail
Tuesday. Super busy day. Had a marathon call with a contractor on how to do some stuff. Went into town after work and met up with Luc for a couple of drinks at Molly's.
Luc's Bijou and my Vieux Carré
Luc's Boulevardie and my whisky sour
Pretty impressive for a three second exposure
Then dinner at Bar Rochford.
I had wagyu, but I was expecting some sort of vegetation, and Luc had three little entrees.
Lovely catchup, mostly talking about travel.
Wednesday. Slept mostly ok. Another busy day. Neil and I tried out Uyghur Cuisine. We had the kung pow chicken and sizzling beef. We could have easily had just one of those dishes with rice and be done.
Had drinks with Neil, Jim and Taranii after work. Dinner, backup computer, suddenly it's bed time.
Thursday. Another busy day. Good drinks. Quick dinner at Badger (empandas).
Then to see Beethoven's 9th. It was excellent. Enjoyed it a lot more than last time. And because I know a chunk of the words to it now I was singing along quietly. Not quietly enough though it seems, apparently it was "a bit offputting". Sigh. That's it. I'm done. Thank you. The end.
Friday. Awake from 3am.
Busy day again. Finished writing up my doco on the migrations work. And in the afternoon we actually migrated two machines ourselves. Chris promised kievs this week. And he would have had them. Except the supplier picked up the wrong thing. Sigh. His theory is they never had them, but gave him something else anyway. So we had pizza for dinner. Mash, rss feeds, early night.
Saturday. Slept mostly ok. Super busy day, but behind schedule all day trying to do All The Things. Went into battle with Super this time. I need to find out how much work put in so I can figure out the whole nonsense of claiming a deduction for the extra I put in. Can't find anything in the portal. Nothing was emailed. Nothing was posted. So went to fill in a contact form and a knowledge document comes up that says "Most statements will be available online from mid-August to mid-September." Seriously WTF?? Cooked the fourth turkey roast we didn't use for the club Christmas in July with some veggies. Probably overdid it a bit. Might have eaten another head of garlic.
Mash (GW Bailey from Police Academy!) then watched the first part of Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War.
Sunday. Took ages to get to sleep then had thermoregulation issues. Busy day again. Realised it'll be six months next week that we left on our Tassie trip. Reckon I can label 1500 photos by then? hmmm. Managed ~350 today.
