Sunday. 17th. Had an almost vegetarian dinner (except for the bacon hehe). The bullhorn chillis were $2 from Toms.
Watched the second Christmas special of the American Lego Masters series.
Monday. Slept okish (took ages to get to sleep and woke up early.
The sky sure was blue after all the rain on the weekend!
Dunno what was up with this currawong. Maybe it ate too many strawberries haha
Nick helped me out with a script and I actually got it working which was super happy making. Leftover lemon pepper chicken for dinner. Queensland photo picking, jigsaw, Men Against Fire on Black Mirror. I'm sure if real militaries could do that they would. The Bricklink order (the quote) was "cancelled" #grunt.
Tuesday. Took ages to get to sleep then woke up early. The Bricklink seller said the quote was already cancelled when he went to look. And there was no way to reopen it. #grunt.
From Bricklink:
Canceled - There are three reasons a quote is canceled:
The seller did not provide a quote within three business days.
The buyer did not take action on the quote within three business days.
The items in the quote were sold before the order was generated.
Probably that last one. Fortunately I was able to add everything to a wishlist so it was (relatively) easy to reorder it.
Productive day, got some scripts working, did some music, tidied the house a bit, cooked dinner, did some photo picking and watched some tv.
Wednesday. Took a while to get to sleep and woke up early.
Finally! A strawberry haul! These were in the pool so the currawongs didn't know about them, and the snails never found them either.
Ok day at work - made some progress on scripting - got one of Daniel's premigration scripts working so that made me super happy. Road block on another function though. Home late, dinner, backups, hair, jigsaw, bed.
Thursday. Took a while to get to sleep and woke up early. Sensing a theme here.
Busy day prepping and working with the vendor on a big cleanup of the mess they made. Had to work through drinks so didn't really get to talk to people much. Pizzas, bed.
Oh, and David might have been on the news the other night..
Friday.
Finish of the cleanup went ok, noone screamed. Mostly scripting all day. Managed to get something super complicated working so that was cool (adding IP addresses to a group, sounds like it should be simple right hahahahaahh), but didn't finish Daniel's complicated script converting. Kievs for dinner.
USS Callister on Black Mirror which was actually kinda fun. A little bit like White Christmas in some ways.
Saturday. Breakfast with Annie at Gang Gang which was nice.
Did our food shopping afterwards. Then All The Things all day.
Cooked up the last of the leftover pork in a red curry
Death in Paradise 10.5 and then Arkangel on Black Mirror.
Yeah so it's early. Sue me.
Sunday. Slept mostly ok but woke up fairly early. Just around the time the cacaphony of birds was starting. Got a smidge more sleep until 5:30. House stuff in the morning. I even mowed the lawn! Probably the first time in over thirty years. I had to mow the lawn sometimes as a teenager and I HATED it!! The lawnmower was loud and hard to start and our lawn was huge and I would ALWAYS get hit by debris even with the catcher on (which was a pain to have to empty over and over again). I never did it here either because our lawnmower was loud and hard to start and I'd been scarred from doing it as a teenager. Anyways. We got a new lawnmower the other week because the starter cord on the old one broke right off. The new one is battery powered (we did get a new 36v battery and charger because it was easier to just get the kit rather than putting in a special order for just the mower. Turns out the new battery is chunkier so that's useful. The thing is super easy to start - you just press down the start button and pull one of the levers (you have to keep the lever(s) held down for it to keep operating which is the only real annoyance). And it's relatively quiet. So yeah, winning.
Other than that just various house/computer stuffs all day.
