Sunday. 20th. Kiev and veggies for dinner. Loch Henry on Black Mirror. Far out I wish they'd keep the camera still.
Went out to find the comet (Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS). I only knew where to look cause David posted a photo the night before. Of course I couldn't actually see it. I'm blind and there's too much city light. And I couldn't be stuffed taking my cameras/tripod. So I took some crappy photos on my phone. As you do.
Monday. Slept mostly ok. Didn't get to do my doco clearing cause All The People wanted All The Things. Had a long lunch to do bank and tax crap. Tax was surprisingly painless. I was stunned at how much is automatically populated by the ATO. David dropped in for meat and veggies for dinner before heading home again. Watched Beyond the Sea on Black Mirror. You just know things are going to go Very Badly on this show, although I didn't quite pick *how* it would turn out. When she said "What if.. what if you let him use your link?" .. you can already see where this is going.. heh. But keep the damned camera still!!!
Tuesday. Slept ok I think. Mostly finishing up decom doco at work. Mum photo picking in the evening.
Wednesday. Slept ok I think. OMFG windoze is so trash. Like, for most of the time I've had this computer I can't actually shut it down. I tell it to, but it just logs me off and stays at the login screen. I have to actually reboot it and turn it off half way through the reboot cycle. Had a scheduled power outage. The Solar Edge system dutifully kicked in and kept all the fish tanks running. But it didn't charge the battery at all. This was totally not what we were sold on. Had an early mark and went to Herbert's. I was on a mission to finish the Ginja Ninja so they'd put on the dessert sour. Alas, I couldn't do it. But they were likely my last ever Ginja Ninjas. Unless someone buys out and continues running TRBC. TV dinners for dinner. Have I mentioned how trash windoze is? This time, after turning on my computer and backing it up, it refused to eject the disk. Even though I had pretty much nothing running on account of having just rebooted. I could hear that *something* had the disk open. But even leaving it for ages it wouldn't let go. Ended up rebooting again to clear it. Hate windoze. Hate hate hate hate.
There's something you don't see every day - a two leaf clover!!! And a four. But I see those all the time ;)
HFC (healthy fried chicken) Chipotle burger from Grill'd (went with Neil at lunch)
Possibly one of my last ever Ginja Ninjas :(
Thursday. Dunno. Two of the baby gak gak birds are still alive..
Pizzas for dinner.
Friday. Queensland!
Saturday. Wedding!
Sunday. Home!
John has been building a retaining wall on our bit of the land next to the driveway.. and he very kindly left the epic dandelion there (cause I asked :) )!!
Got upstairs and found the 620T fish tank was *very* low. Like a good five centimetres lower than it should be. Uh oh. Had a look and sure enough, the water was backed up enough that it was dribbling back over the back of the tank where the power cables come in. Sigh. So dried up what I could and put a small fan on it to try and dry things out. Bit of a lost cause though, the backing (made of compressed sawdust) was even more badly swollen than the last time this happened. Whoever thought that chipboard and sawdust fish tank stands were a good idea should be shot in the head. TV dinners, Mash, early night.
