Sunday. 6th. Had tortilla pockets for dinner I got cheap at Chris's. Filled them with some taco spice-flavoured mince, lettuce, spring onion, salsa, cheese and sour cream. Yumm. Then started watching Go.
Monday. Slept okish I think. Depressed about everything.. work, housework, being overweight. Sigh. Bits and pieces day. Leftover sausages from the freezer and veggies for dinner.
Tuesday. Slept mostly ok I think. Spent half the day on the phone. Hurray. Felt like @aquila at one point who was lacking motivation. I suggested going to the pub. Which I couldn't do but I did have a beer after work, because, it was a day. There may have also been TV dinners. MacGyver was basically Home Alone (which had recently been released). Finished watching Go.
Wednesday. Thought I slept okish, but felt tired during the day. Busy day setting up a new DR laptop, upgrading stuff, and just a tonne of other crap. I asked the sweetie to cook dinner, so we got KFC.
Thursday. Spent all morning stressing about the afternoon's patching, then the afternoon patching. With lunch at Zhangliang Malatang in the middle.
Their sauces have changed since last time
I had "Spicy Dry Mix" which was peanutty but too spicy for me. It's a pity they don't have any one chilli sauces.
Good drinks. Mills&Grills and MacGyver.
Capricciosa and Italian meatball
Also, Chrissie took back her little tank today. We'd had it eight and a half years. There's a hole in our life now...
Friday. 11th. Lest we forget. Had another painful vendor meeting. We literally showed them our problem on the last call, but had to show them all over AGAIN because they'd completely misunderstood how we do things. Got off work early and we wandered out to the border behind Macgregor looking for swallows and tree martins but not finding any. We did see a reed warbler and a pipit though which were new for me.
Literally the biggest mushroom I've ever seen in my life! It was the size of a dinner plate!!
Someone setup the Parliament House flag in their yard - very cool!
Kievs and Black Mirror.
Saturday. Awake ~1 to ~3 with my mind in a loop. Went out for brunch to Cafe Luzon.
Stu with his Talong Omelet
I had a very nice "Tocilog" - grilled marinated pork, garlic rice, Asian slaw, fried egg, house vinegar ($24)
Then we went touristing around Canberra for a while. The main problem being people. Well that's a given. Civic is in chaos at the moment with all the tram works and Floriade. I should have been doing this weeks ago, but we've just had too much on and I haven't had the brain space. The other problem being our car's aircon doesn't work. So the car was getting super hot - up to like 30C which killed our will to live. Pretty much collapsed in the afternoon. Stu cooked up a bunch of veggies for dinner and we watched The Mandolorian and Grogu which was ok, just a bit of fun.
Sunday. Restless sleep. Thermoregulation issues and hands constantly going numb. More touristing in the morning. The only problem being people. Going up to Stromlo this woman followed us right up our butt the whole way up the mountain then parked right in the middle of the spot I wanted to take a photo. Sigh.
Then heading out to Cotter there was some BS car cruise which completely clogged up the road to Cotter Dam.
We actually abandoned the idea of going to the dam because we thought the car park would just be chaos. Took off up to Uriarra instead.
..only to have to slow down a few times because of some bicycle race. Sigh. Grabbed some groceries and Maccas on the way home. Then I had to clean the kitchen (Stu helped) and cook dinner and suddenly it's 14:00 and I've achieved pretty much nothing all weekend. Well I did geotag 4/9ths of Dad's New Zealand photos from 1975. Hurray.
