Sunday. 10th. Roast pork for dinner. Crackling was awesome, pork was pretty decent.
We started back into The Simpsons again now that we've finished Mash. The Waldo Moment on Black Mirror. Reminded me a bit of the end of season 4 of Rake.
Monday. 11th. Lest we forget. Slept mostly ok. Talked to vendor about their stuffup and what they were doing to fix it. Started to have a think about how to fix the stuff myself. Certainly a good exercise in learning scripting and the environment. Cooked lemon pepper chicken for dinner. It was very lemony. And very peppery. Yumm!
White Christmas on Black Mirror. Wow.. that is literally the definition of Hell (at least one interpretation of it).
Tuesday. Slept mostly ok although woke up very early. Frustrating day fighting with Powershell. I'm too dumb for this crap. Lunch with Tony at Four Winds (he had wine to pick up and had pizza vouchers, so like, same time as last year). No lizards with a death wish today though.
Sparkling rose (very nice!), riesling, chardonnay, shiraz rose
With Potato and Gorgonzola pizza (my favourite) - olive oil base, potato, white onion, gorgonzola, rosemary and cheese.
Unfortunately I was still feeling grumpy from the weekend, so wasn't in the best of moods :( Life is too damned hard. Leftovers for dinner and Mum photo picking. Nosedive on Black Mirror. Man some of these stories aren't far off being reality in the not too distant future. Still depressed. I just want to be a hermit.
Wednesday. Slept mostly ok, although woke up very early. Tantalisingly close to getting my script working. Except I keep coming up against road blocks. Like nested json files talking to apis. hrmm. Optometrist at lunch. In and out in under an hour. The optometrist I had though was very "eh, close enough". Usually they spend ages going "is this one clearer or this one?". This dude was like, eh, that'll do. Should not have gone to Specavers? Still, definitely could see better. Then actually spent more time with the assitants choosing frames and them doing levels, which I've never actually had done before. But OMFG the dude had HAGRID sized hands!! They were enormous!! I couldn't stop looking at them. So with a buy one get one free offer and health insurance, I ended up getting two pairs of general glasses for $78. WTF? Home, dinner, backups, hair, bed.
Thursday. Slept mostly ok. Here I was thinking I'd actually get a strawberry. It was not quite ripe in the morning so set an alert on my phone to get it in the evening before the snails got to it. It was gone by the time I got home. Sigh.
I did pick a different not-quite-ripe strawberry in the evening. The only one I've managed to get so far.
Not sure what to do with this self-seeded geranium. It's in a dumb spot but it's kinda pretty. So dunno if I should rip it out or just move it somewhere..
Another road block with my scripting. Asked Nick for help but he's like, hey I got this other thing working.. so I started all over again with that. Except literally noone has every put this stuff on the internet. You put in exact commands and get like two pages in Google which are the vendor pages. Sigh. Busy drinks which was good. Pizzas for dinner. Nearly forgot to get photos. Gone one of mine (I only ate half)
Playtest on Black Mirror. Far out I wish they'd keep the camera still.
Friday. Slept mostly ok. Frustrating day with powershell. I too dumb. The sweetie got Dumpling Inn comfort food for dinner. He'd had a crap week. Death in Paradise 10.4. Shut Up and Dance on Black Mirror.
Tiniest poppy ever.. just a few centimetres high!!
Saturday. Slept mostly ok (although took ages to get to sleep). Trying to do All The Things. Got some of it done. Leftover pork and veggies for dinner. The sweetie put My Old Ass, a Canadian movie. No idea why haha. It was a bit silly but also kinda sweet.
Sunday. Slept mostly ok. Bits and pieces in the morning. Went out the back to get the watering can and noticed a couple of strawberries ripe enough to pick. Cool. Went out the front to plant some mini capsicums (yeah yeah shoulda been planted weeks ago). Returned the watering can out the back. And saw two currawongs looking at me. And the strawberries were gone. The turdburger currawongs are the bastards eating my strawberries!! Pissed off. Storm came through so turned everything off. Was just about to start on my Sunday evening routine when the mother type person called, so that took half an hour out of things so was a bit of a stretch to get everything done. Just made it.. dinner time!!
