Sunday. 5th. I went through the booze cabinet the other day and identified a few bottles of stuff we really just need to get rid of because they've been up the back for literally years (probably at least since I moved from Sydney). One was a bottle of sour apple schnapps. So I made my own cocktail out of it - sour apple schnapps, vodka, topped up with apple juice, and a dash of lemon juice because it was too sweet otherwise.
Rump cap for dinner. I slow cooked it (2kg, 2 hours at 140C), but even that was too much and it was a bit overcooked. I also cut it badly so it definitely wasn't as nice as it could have been. Sigh.
After this I tried to cut it in a different direction...
There was also broccolini we roasted with lemon juice, butter and parmesan, and some swedes which Stu fried.
MacGyver aka Indiana Jones (they literally even reference Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade which came out that same year!).
Monday. Slept okish. Busy day of doing All The Crap for All The People and not getting anywhere with what I wanted to do. MacGyver and blogging in the evening.
Tuesday. Slept okish. A nice day of not too many interruptions which was great. Looked at some traffic usage, and did some cleaning out of my personal drive - deleting things going back to 2007 :)
Went out at lunch to try out the new toy...
Lonnnnnnng lens..... (raw pixels)
Leftovers for dinner, MacGyver, and getting filled with rage at a Spectrum store in South Carolina using MY email address for new customer accounts. I fired off some rage filled emails to their privacy team, haven't heard anything since.
Wednesday. Slept okish. Busy day of crap and not achieving much. Filled with rage at Google who make it literally impossible to recover a Gmail account if the phone number is no longer in service. Even a "recovery" email is useless. People all over the internet rage about it as well. Stu has actively been trying to get off everything Google. After today's debacle I'm going to too. Anything going to Gmail I'm going to get sent to my other emails. The only big problem is the calendar - I absolutely love that thing. After work Neil and I went and saw Disclosure Day (with a brief dinner beforehand at Inari Express).
Takoyaki wasn't bad (heated from frozen)
Thursday. Fallout from crap yesterday left me depressed. Couldn't even enjoy drinks and left early (thanks Chrissie for the lifts!). Made pizzas for dinner.
Mostly awake from 3:17. Day of crap mostly. Hid in away mode to get a bit of peace and quiet. Kievs and Black Mirror then watched The Terminator with EB.
Saturday.
Computer and hobby stuff while Stu was out at the club for a committee meeting. Went and said goodbye to the neighbours who are moving out (they decided to jump before they were pushed, still no word on them selling the place though). Leftovers for dinner then watched The Lost King which was interesting.
Sunday. Slept okish. More computer and hobby stuff. Weather was too miserable to go out birdwatching. Finished culling my South Coast holiday photos.
