Sunday. 28th. Cooked up an epic lamb roast ($22/kg from Tathra Place in the markets) and veggies for dinner, then watched The Big Year (which some random dude on our holiday told us about). It was a bit "serious" for all the comedic actors in it, but kinda cool.
Monday. Slept relatively ok I think, for a change. Spent much of the day geotagging holiday photos. Stu also pulled out all the bedroom furniture to vacuum nearly 18 years worth of dust behind stuff...
Had some of Lily's Youfoodz for dinner.
Watched Professor T 1.5 together then I watched Taxi Driver which I've never actually seen.
Tuesday. Took ages to get to sleep, epic restless. Finished geotagging holiday photos.
In the afternoon we went to Palmerville for a walk and to do some birdwatching. This Bell 206L-1 (VH-OAS) chopper had been buzzing around Canberra all day, Evoenergy checking powerlines.
I hadn't walked along the new pathway yet
Such a fun shot..
Finished off Lily's Youfoodz dinners and the last of the salad
Then watched Professor T 1.6 together (end of season one) then I watched a doco on the Titanic - Titanic: Digital Resurrection. Considering the effort they went to to digitise the ship, the computer graphics they also used were pretty cheesy. Interesting though.
Wednesday. April Fools! Slept okish, only awake for an hour or two around 3. Back to work. Yeup definitely an April Fool. Spent most of the day catching up on chats and emails.
The sweetie cooked up a heap of veggies and I fried up some lamb, then we watched Professor T 2.1.
You can tell the sweetie was cooking - the potatoes are all lined up nicely ;)
Then spent the rest of the evening putting up reviews of all the places we stayed on our holiday in booking.com.
Thursday. Took ages to get to sleep. Mostly still catching up on crap at work. Had a gin night at drinks but hardly anyone else turned up. Sad times.
Bus home (trying to save petrol) then made pizzas for dinner and watched Professor T 2.2.
Friday. Good Friday. Although not so good for Jesus back in the day. Slept mostly ok. Didn't get much done all day sigh. Pretty much a nothing day. We did go for another walk in the afternoon to Palmerville to try out Stu's new toy (all the bird pics I'll put in another post one day).
Kievs for dinner then Professor T 2.3. I then watched "Challenger Disaster: Lost Tapes" from 2015, which was mostly footage around Christa McAuliffe.. (as an aside, I didn't know that her backup, Barbara Morgan, later went on to be a full-blown astronaut in her own right.. cool!). Eerily, the peeps that are on their way to the moon right now used booster rockets from the shuttle programme.. that wouldn't be freaky .. at. all. .. !!)
Saturday. Only awake for an hour or two around midnight. Spent literally the entire morning doing housework. Sigh. Went out with EB to have a look at the new road around the north/east side of the airport which was pretty cool, had a good long drive around the area, then went in to Quangers for lunch at the Royal Hotel (had a very nice caesar salad).
Air traffic control tower at Canberra Airport
Did you know they're closing down the air traffic control tower at Canberra Airport and replacing it with cameras done with remote control..? What could possibly go wrong?
Swing bridge in Queanbeyan
Caesar salad at the Royal Hotel in Queanbeyan
It's such a shame they haven't setup any sort of dedicated planespotting area with all the new works
Stu cooked a tuna bake and veggies for dinner then we watched Professor T 2.4. I then watched Lantana which I'd never seen before. Lots of unlikeable characters behaving badly. Hurrah.
Easter Sunday. He is risen! Slept mostly okish I think. Woke up 6am! But 5am in reality. Sigh. Didn't achieve really anything all day. Stu took Stumpy outside for a walk.
In the afternoon we went over to Annie's for afternoon tea and catchup with the family. Pebbles wasn't being *quite* the scardey cat...
Leftovers for dinner. The just-past full moon was rising and it was like, hey there's four peeps in between me and that bright shiny thing! Pretty cool! Then watched Molly's Game, which I'd seen on a plane but Stu hadn't seen.
Monday. Slept mostly okish. Got a bunch of Europe 2016 photo stuff done, and a heap of jigsaw. Stu has cooked up a bunch of veggies to have with some leftover lamb for dinner.
