Sunday. 11th.
Dinner at EffanC's which was very nice - pumpkin soup and miso salmon
Monday. Slept okish I guess. Ok day at work, got some stuff done. Talked to Mum after work. Epic stress. Epic drama. Not to mention the STRESS that Mum and I are both feeling. Epic depressed about it all. The sweetie cooked some nice pork rissoles for dinner which was lovely of him.
DS9 3.14 which was pretty silly.
Tuesday. Took well over an hour to get to sleep. This is what happens when you *don't* drink. Somewhat restless sleep. Bits and pieces at work and even managed some programming in between interruptions. Europe photo culling, DS9 3.15.
I'm not sure which I prefer. Probably the phone photo - everything is in focus. The Canon's depth of field is so ridiculously shallow that you can't get everything in focus, and there's abberations. At least most of the crap on the window is blurred out.
Did I mention the shallow depth of field?
Also, rainbow
Stu cooked up some very nice bok choy with oyster sauce, and the rest of the rissoles
Wednesday. Took til like midnight to get to sleep. Sigh. This is what happens when you *don't* drink. Somewhat restless sleep. Rinse and repeat. Pretty good progress on a script I'm working on, although hit a roadblock doing something simple. Leftover butt cheeks and cabbage for dinner, DS9 3.16. More Europe photo culling. Holiday stuff for Mum.
Phone vs Canon again. Neither are super crisp up close.
Thursday. Slept kinda okish. Got a few bits and pieces done. Pizzas for dinner. DS9 3.17.
Friday. Woke up at dentist time and only got like 3/4 hour more sleep after that. Hurray. Frustrating day fighting with Powershell. I too dumb. Leftover lamb and veggies for dinner. DS9 3.18. Dumb episode.
Saturday. Woke up early I think. Mostly uneventful drive to Sydney. Followed a Murray's coach from the Barton Highway to Picton Road which was pretty cool. At one point a Tesla passed us which had a sticker to the effect of "I bought this before Elon went crazy". No rocks on Hanging Rock Road. Bumper to bumper traffic all the way from Yarrawarra to Mum's because of Heathcote Road closure. And the fact that Sydney traffic sucks all kinds of donkey balls. Got to Mum's and we spent most of the afternoon going through holiday stuff. Also checked out backup hard drives and I backed up her computer again. Had TV dinners for dinner. Went for a walk after dinner so Mum could get some milk and I could get a beer. It got very late very quickly.
Mum has these textas of mine that she used long after I stopped using them. I've had them since I was in primary school, so they're at least forty years old.
They still work.
Mind. Blown.
Sunday. Slept okish. Had to have the door open because it was like 22C in the room - way too hot! It got down to about 19 by morning - just barely tolerable! :) Did some copying of Dad's photos off an external hard drive (possibly the only copy she has of his photos). Also looked at a lot of photos. Went for a long walk around lunch time and picked up a bbq chooken for late lunch. Saw David briefly, went through holiday stuff, then everyone left in different directions. It was after 16:30 by the time I left, way way way too late, so was a pretty tense drive in the dark and the rain. Two wallabies jumped in front of my near Broughton Pass, but luckily didn't hit anything. Late dinner when I got home.
This little house is for sale. It's on a 1220sqm block. I guarantee it will be at the very least a duplex but more likely three or four townhouses the next time I see it...
Hotham House
Monday. Slept okish. Day of appointments and trying to keep on top of crap.
