Sunday. 14th. Backdating this a few days. Had leftovers for dinner then we watched a documentary "Lost Melbourne" about the loss of a lot of old buildings in Melbourne in the name of progress. Melbourne is still a lot better off than a lot of cities though, even Sydney.
Monday. Awake from 12 for ages, then again from 5 for ages. Hurray. Busy day not achieving much. Went to Four Winds with Tony for our now annual tradition of wine and pizza. Such a lovely place out there.
Did some Christmas music on the sax in the evening.
The last strawberry of the year!
Tuesday. Crap sleep. Awake every hour or so feeling hot and needing to cool down. Another day of not achieving much. But we did have a division Christmas party at work which was nice. Came like second in the two lolly guessing competitions. After work we went and picked up the mother type person at Jolimont then went to the Labor Club for dinner.
I may have given those anchovies to the sweetie
Got home and looked at Mum's slide show of Croatia and Greece, then we looked at all of Dad's photos of Tasmania.
Wednesday. Restless sleep. Fairly chilled morning, did a bit of cleaning.
Eventually D/K/S left Junee so I made apple sauce then a potato bake then another potato bake then the roast pork then a veggie tray bake.
Blue cheese potato bake (with thyme), bacon potato bake, brussels sprouts, sweet potato, spring onion and bacon (with hazelnuts), apple sauce. Just missing the pork which is in the oven by this point
Just finished doing all that when they arrived - great timing! Kellie brought a heap of noms so we had those and did photos and presents and stuffs while lunch cooked.
The pork turned out fairly well (the crackling worked really well but the meat may have been a little overdone).
There may have been a lot of bubbles
Played a game of Five Crowns although I got super frustrated near the end when several rounds in a row people went out before I'd even had one turn, or maybe had just had one turn. So upsetting. I don't even know who won in the end. Played a bit of Pictionary but just playing through cards not actually using the board. Put on Flying High in the evening. D/K/S left and Mum and I finished watching the movie ourselves. All in all a lovely day.
Thursday. Awake from some time after 2. Hurray. Dropped Mum off at Jolimont then went to work. Did a bit of party prep and DC rules work. At drinks I took up all the leftover cans of drinks from the work family party that I bought off Neil and washed them all (they were all covered in dirt). Pizzas for dinner then Love Actually but it was too late a night :(
Friday. Awake from 4:53. Sigh. Then I started thinking about the day's party and all bets were off. Hurray. Party prep in the morning then party all afternoon!
Sadly I didn't catch any birds this year. Leftovers for dinner then we watched part 1 of a documentary on the Gamestop nonsense.
Saturday. Awake from like 3:30. Hurray. Spent much of the morning sorting out the rubbish and recycling from the party. Super annoyingly, some helpful person tried to clean up, and very helpfully threw out a bunch of the plastic forks. Pissed off about that because those things are irreplaceable!!! I also chipped a tooth on the last of the pork crackling I had at lunch. Sigh. Storms and epic clouds in the evening.
We were getting hail (only a tiny amount) while this rainbow was out
Then it all disappeared. That's the end of the storm right there.
And there may have been a Dumpling Inn delivery for dinner..
Did I mention the epic clouds?
Super early night because zombie tired.
