Sunday. 1st. Summer!! Final countdown to Christmas!! Christmas music on the clarinet!!
:)
Also, Tony and Karen&Frank and I are doing the Plonk beer advent calendar again this year!
Roasted up some veggies and had it with leftover turkey from the club night.
Black Museum on Black Mirror.
Oh did I mention I picked up my new glasses last week? The vision in them is *ok*.. I mean it's a bit better than it was.. but I certainly did get that whole "oh wow I can see" feeling from them. Sigh. Should NOT have gone to Specsavers. Also the ones with the anti-reflective coating are too tight and keep sliding down my nose and they're driving me NUTS.
Monday. Slept fairly well. Busy time before work just trying to catch up with life.
My washing dried in about five minutes outside.
Did some work on some decom tickets, and was able to use my new scripts to do the hard work for me, which was super exciting. A few copy/pastes and it's done.. whereas to do it manually would be like twenty or way way more clicks per group. Late finish. Had a brief break before dinner and looking at holiday stuff after dinner and suddently it's nearly 20:00. Sigh. Labelled pics from our recent Queensland trip. At one point it smelt like aviation fuel coming through the cooler. Maybe that Virgin plane on its way to Adelaide that just flew over was leaking fuel.. hrmm. Striking Vipers on Black Mirror.
Tuesday. Slept mostly ok. Another busy morning trying to keep up with life. More decom work at work, and did up another script. Cooked more veggies for dinner and finished off the lamb from last week.
Started into the 2024 season of Futurama, whatever they're up to now. Mum photo picking then Smithereens on Black Mirror with Moriarty heh. An episode with "present day" technology for the most part, but gripping.
Wednesday. Restless, took a while to get to sleep, but still woke up early. Busy day. Got some bulk deleting scripts working to save me even more time on decoms.
Went back to Specsavers to try and get my glasses adjusted. They pinched the nose piece a lot closer together, so now they don't slide down my nose - they just stick out way too far and hurt. Sigh.
Have I ever mentioned how TRASH Windoze 11 is? Today I opened a text file. It opened in notepad on my main desktop no issues. Five minutes later I opened the text file again. This time it decided to open ON MY OTHER DESKTOP!!! WHICH I HAVEN'T EVEN USED TODAY!!! What the actual F MICROSOFT??
Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too on Black Mirror. Miley Cyrus as herself much? I found the house they filmed in on Google maps. It's actually a place you can rent for like $8000/night. And it's surrounded by a lot of electric fences.
And that was the end of that for Black Mirror. I've finished watching all the episodes so far. I could easily rewatch them all (if the sweetie ever wanted to watch them). I found the show fascinating for the most part. Although it's usually very dark and often twisted.
Thursday. Slept okish.
I have a jungle in the back yard
Had to take the bus to work (the sweetie came out at one point a complete zombie from a few nights in a row of not sleeping on account of being so stressed out by work). Got to try out the MyWay+ app QR code. Which you have to hold low enough for it to read it. And currently you're not meant to tap off until they can work out bugs. Half the people got free rides. Kids just didn't even bother trying, they just walked on. They're doing road works near one stop, which meant the GPS wouldn't activate because the bus wasn't close enough, so everyone there got a free ride. Other people weren't scanning things the right way or tapping properly, so some of those just went meh and ignored it and got a free ride. And there's still no real time location tracking of buses. Lame.
Busy day. Ok drinks. Pizza/ice cream/Death in Paradise 10.6.
We had some slippage...
Friday. Restless sleep - too hot and humid. Awake from maybe 4. Another decom day and more looking at scripts. Made a lemon cheesecake after work. Leftovers for dinner (too stinking hot and humid to run the oven for kievs). Christmas movie season started with Die Hard. I've learn almost all the words in German to sing along at the end :)
Saturday. Slept somewhat ok. Did I mention all the rain and storms this week? Busy house day doing All The Things. Went out for a bit of food shopping and errands. Apparently Knead's sourdoughs mostly failed because it was so humid they wouldn't rise. Tried two places to get a replacement light for Stumpy's tank which started flashing on Friday. Failed.
Twin buses...
Pork/parmesan/truffle sausages for dinner and cheesecake!
Death in Paradise 10.7.
Sunday. Took forever to get to sleep - hot/restless/itchy. Did I mention the humidity? Everything is damp. Not looking forward to this being the new normal for Canberra with global warming. At least today was a lot less humid. The cooler was actually useful as a cooler and not just a humidifier. Went out to the Reptile Zoo at Gold Creek after lunch to try and get a UV light for Stumpy's tank. I actually even called them before we went to see if they had one. They said they should. They didn't. They had a 5% one in 48", but she reckons blue-tongues probably need like the 12% ones. Which of course they didn't have. They barely had any four foot lights at all. There's all sorts of random sizes nowadays, like 46" wtf??
If/when Stumpy carks it, we'd be very tempted to get a bearded dragon.. they're so awesome!
Made some French onion soup, although probably made it too liquidy. Might be an epic disaster. Also blogged Notre-Dame in Lego. Been meaning to for a while, but they just reopened it this weekend, so thought it would be a good time.
