Last I checked I only had one butt

Sunday.  21st.  Stu cooked a cabbage bake and I threw some zucchini in and we had that with some leftover roast beef. Definitely not a great roast - tough (even though it was rare to medium rare) and a line of gristle through it. DS9 7.10 which was pretty good. Think I'm getting a cold sore. Not surprising, and actually surprised I haven't gotten one sooner with my immune system being shot and all.

Monday.  Awake half the night stressing about some thing I had to delete at work and how I was going to do it. When I fully woke up I realised that thing didn't even exist and I'd probably just dreamt it. Sigh. Busy day being NEIL and doing All The Things for All The People. Leftovers for dinner then DS9 7.11 then Europe photo labelling (food photos!)

It hailed in the afternoon (very small hail)

Hail

It knocked lots of petals off the cherry tree..

Tuesday.  Felt like I was in the one position all night and that every time I woke up to consider rolling over I just stayed there. hrmm. Busy day being NEIL and doing All The Things for All The People. Someone at 16:40 asked me if I liked Kingsleys. Now I want Kingsleys!!! hrmmmmmmm. Leftovers for dinner, DS9 7.12 which was pretty silly, Europe food photo labelling.

Lunch was pepperoni and olive pizza scrolls..

Wednesday.  Another disjointed but busy day. "Your failure to plan does not constitute my emergency". Except when it does and you have to stay back doing stuff for peeps.  DS9 7.13. Finished Europe food photo labelling (finally!!)

Lunch was little cheese bread toasties, cream cheese, and either tomato, olive, cheese, pepperoni or roast garlic

Toasties antipasto

Dinner was Luv-a-duck cheats Peking duck.  I love this so much!

Thursday.  Busy day doing All The Things for All The People. Pizzas for dinner, then DS9 7.14 (it would have been nice to go to Matt and Michelle's bucks/hens, but, people. Sigh). Thought I'd put on the Lego Batman Movie cause it's disappearing off Netflix soon and I couldn't remember if I'd ever seen it. Turns out I had, back in 2017, and apparently I own a copy. Not that I could find it when I looked..  So much for getting anything else done though, that movie requires 100% attention or you'll miss stuff!!

Friday.  Took an RDO!!  House stuff in the morning then labelling Europe photos. In the afternoon we went out to the club and lit the fire and had a few drinks and some tv dinners and it was all very pleasant. At 19:30 we were like, now what, and invited Ian down for some whisky which was lovely too.

I got this bottle of shiraz from Ben and Sarah for my 50th and we shared it in front of the fire.  It was really nice!

Saturday.  Actually slept relatively well, I thought, although I wasn't really transfunctionating in the morning (not sure I was making much sense talking the mother type person).

I was going to make scrambled eggs.. but couldn't bring myself to break them when they all plopped into the pan intact..

Fried eggs

Finally got around to doing a second coat of primer on some of the cabinetry. It's been sitting in a half done state for years.  This is an in-progress shot.

Cabinetry priming

Came home in the afternoon. Stu was in agony from his back from after lunch until we got some more powerful painkillers into him when we got home. Most unpleasant for all involved. Mainly him. Finished labelling Europe hotel photos. Pizza for dinner (comfort food for the sweetie!), DS9 7.15, then bed.

Sunday.  Slept relatively well. A day of All The Things. Was a bit confused when I plugged my phone in to back it up that iTunes wanted to upgrade to iOS 26. WTF? I'm only on 18. Turns out they're aligning with the year. Which is dumb anyway because it's 2025 not 2026. Got to half way through htmlifying Europe hotel photos.
