That was the night I died

Sunday.  22nd.  Finished Wonka.  Cool been-there's of St Paul's and Oxford.  

Monday.  Slept ok I guess.  Busy day.  On the phone from 16:00 to 18:00 blah.  Cooked a red curry with some of the leftover beef.  And spent the evening writing up my dramas with Vodien.

Tuesday.  Slept ok I guess.  Not quite as crazy busy day.  Biggest set of migrations done, with cutover later in the week.  Smaller batches to go.  All evening battling mail on CloudLoop.

Wednesday.  Um.  Planning migrations I think.  Drinks after work with Neil and some other peeps.  Watched some Amazing Race, talked to Kit for a bit.

Thursday.  Awake from like 2 to 4 or something.  Setup johnson.id.au on CloudLoop and changed the nameservers over.  Cutover of some management stuff.  Broke a proxy.  Good drinks.  Pizzas for dinner.  Early night.

Friday.  Awake from maybe like 2 or 2:30 and never got back to sleep.  Sigh.  Dealing with the failed proxy.  Wardie restarted it last night which fixed it.  Seems the cutover we did confused it.  Sadness.  Went to Herbert's at lunch with the Chrises which was nice.  Kiev balls!  Back at work, contractor broke stuff.  I'm getting a reputation for failed changes.  Sigh.  Proper chicken kievs for dinner.  Bed 19:30.

I totally need to get the recipe for these things!!

Four of these 17 kegs are TRBC beers.  They're planning a tribute night soon with them.

Saturday.  Early night but woke up at 3:40 and never got back to sleep.  Sigh.  Breakfast at Beess & Co.  Had a very nice eggs benedict (although salty AF, I was *thirsty* later).

Wandered around Yarralumla while waiting for the mint to open, then went in there.

Stopped at Scrivener Dam on the way home.

This looked like a roomba lawn mower..

Wrote up a todo list for the day.  I think it'll take a couple of weeks to get through.  I had to fix up all the Canon photos I'd taken this year - they were all still on summer time :(  I got some stuff at Chris's the other day to make up a lasagna to use up the white sauce that's been in the fridge for months.  Turns out it really didn't freeze very well and was quite disgusting once it was defrosted.  Sigh.  So I had to make my own white sauce (using Lana's recipe).  But the flour I used was from a container I'd dug up that needed using from forever ago.. I think it may have come from Mum's.. and I think it was a little.. off..  So I was worried it'd be a disaster.  But it wasn't!!  Hurray!!  It was a little dry, which I attribute to not adding enough liquid to offset the dry sheets I got from Chris's.  Lana summed it up perfectly:

"Fresh lasagne sheets. I really can't recommend using anything other than these. If you do feel the need to use dry sheets, then slap yourself make sure you add extra liquid to the meat sauce, as they will suck it up. Nothing worse than dry lasagne."

In the evening we watched Grave of the Fireflies.  Yeah it was pretty sad. 

Sunday.  Slept mostly ok for a change.  Another busy day of doing all the things.  Finally uploaded my Tassie hotel photos.  Also did some food shopping.
