Monday. 9th. Nice and cool overnight. You'd think I'd be able to sleep. You'd be wrong. Took ages to get to sleep. Busy morning before work doing all the dusting/vacuuming/weeding/cleaning the kitchen, and then time to go to work. Cert renewal crap and meetings all day. Kievs for dinner (was too hot and humid over the weekend to think about turning the oven on). Did some catchup blogging, then bed.
Also waved at the peeps up on the space station.

Yeah a rinse and repeat.
Planned out some more decom work for later in the week. Started looking at Daniel's quality report script. Brain might have exploded. Final Journey of Australian Science at the Shine Dome, which was back to hard science again which was pretty cool. This one was related to the work of Sir John Carew Eccles. They even had some of his family members there.
They had Prof Stephen Redman and Professor Lucy Palmer talking about their work with neurons and electricity in the brain.
Dinner at Terra afterwards. We split a 220g beef brisket smoked steak and had charred broccolini and brisket fat chips as sides.
Beef brisket (smoker) 220g | salsa verde $39
Charred broccolini | burnt miso butter, chili oil, garlic chips $18
Brisket fat chips $12
I enjoyed the sides. The brisket itself I found a little.. dry.. I'm used to slower cooker brisket which is basically confit brisket. This was done in a smoker so wasn't quite the same. It wasn't bad, just wasn't what I'm used to. It really needed the sauces.
Nice view of the tower on the way back to the car.
Wednesday. Um. I think I slept better.
Thursday. 12/12/24 - cool date! I think I slept ok.
Oh, I planted some mini capsicums the other week. Some have sprouted. At least one has been eaten already.
Got to do some decom work in the afternoon. Ok drinks, but ate wayyy too much in the way of chips and sausage. Still made pizzas but Stu ate most of mine. Watched some more Jamie and Julia.
Friday. took ages to get to sleep, then woke up at like 4:30. Sigh. Party day!!!! The sweetie very kindly gave me a lift to work (he was working from home). Picked up All The Sausages ($300 worth!!) and then just getting everything ready. Went shopping with XL and Jo. Then partied all afternoon!
It was super hot though. A special thanks to Louise and Tony for cooking the chicken and veggie stuff cause noone else wanted to go out in the heat!
Typical though.. you give the camera to someone else and they cut off the tshirts and get all sky. Uncropped.
Ho Ho Hold my .. bird.. ? It's tradition for me to catch birds at these things. I was never expecting to catch a honeyeater though!!
Finished up maybe like 19:30. Stu took two loads of crap home. Bestest sweetie ever!! Con and Ward kicked on somewhere. Tony biked it home. And we gave Doc a lift home. By the time we'd unpacked enough and organised, it was after nine by the time I got to bed. Doh.
Saturday. Slept relatively well. Spent most of the morning organising the leftovers and party crap.
For lunch I thought I'd see if any of the leftovers would give me food poisoning...
Mostly Lego filing in the afternoon. Late in the afternoon I wondered how hard it would be to get a weather pixie on my blog...
Sunday. Took ages to get to sleep (like 23:00). Then woke up at 4:30. Sigh. Scripting, house stuff (two loads of washing up even! and ran the dishwasher for the second time in two days), Lego filing. Put on my cd jukebox and listened to random crap all day. Billy Joel sang about The King and I, and a few songs later Shall We Dance came up..!! Funny stuff.
