Sunday.  5th.  Backdating.  Sorry. ;)  Cooked all the food - some mince to have however, as well as roast veggies and a cauliflower bake.  Into season 15 of The Simpsons.

Monday.  Ok day.  Spent the day trying to do *one thing* but not getting anywhere because of interruptions and people wanting stuff.  Sausages and leftover veggies for dinner.  113 photos labelled before dinner, 213 all up, up to my first day in Paris.  Then Air Crash Investigations.

Tuesday.  Slept relatively well.  Stressful day because I was in meetings for hours and hours and hours, but still had heaps of work to get done as well.  Ended up working a bit late and only managed to label 54 photos.

Wednesday.  Slept ok.  Got up a bit early, and this time I checked the Covid exposure sites *before* I went out to do some food shopping.  First time doing a proper shop in three weeks - our pantry list was getting super long from things that had run out or were running out.  Oddly, there were no bags of any kind for bagging up veggies, so I ended up using a shopping bag to get mushrooms.  Once again, Coles was depleted of different odd things, like almost no eggs (didn't need any this week), and mint ice cream.  But they did have bacon and cheese rolls out early this time.  I bought one pack thinking it would last me a couple of days, but the sweetie had other ideas and they lasted a day.  I shoulda bought two ;)  There was plenty of toilet paper, but I didn't need any this week either (been getting it from Chris's).  Ok day, busy afternoon, again in meetings but also trying to get work done.  Salmon and salad for dinner - hurrah for fresh food!  Managed to label 155 photos, only 52 behind now, should be easy to catch up.

Thursday.  Slept ok.  Horrible day - spent over half of it on the phone :(  So sucky and draining.

Friday.  Awake for a while in the middle of the night but not too bad.  Another day of trying to stay on top of things and fighting with peeps over all the stoopid.  Did some cleaning in the afternoon though which was good.  Knocked off a little early and tidied the house a bit, then tried to wrangle my insanely huge todo list.  Honey mustard chicken for dinner.  Then we watched Never Let Me Go which was kinda interesting and depressing.

Saturday.  All. The. Things.  Just a day of getting things done around the house.  Bolognase and salad for dinner, then we watched Gandhi, which I'd never actually seen before. 

Sunday.  Busy doing stuff, although no idea what, the todo list I ticked off didn't have much on it.  

Roast chicken for dinner, then watched Nanny McPhee which I'd seen a while ago.  Actually quite a sweet movie.  Although a bit like watching Love Actually.  Or Harry Potter.  Or Bridge Jones' Diary.  So much cast overlap :)

Monday.  30th.  Not backdating!!  Okish sleep, bit broken.  Ok day.  Saw my birds at lunch. 

Another day, another wattle

Found this in our front yard - self seeded, no idea what it even is?  Some sort of grevillea??

Had a lot of fun doing diagrams in the afternoon.  Lamb stir fry for dinner.  Labelled 197 photos - in Leavesden Studios!!  Harry Potter!!  So much fun.  And watched an episode of Air Crash Investigations.

Tuesday.  Another pretty good day, mostly doing diagrams!  Made mushroom, olive and salami pizza scrolls for the sweetie for lunch.

Then Pizza Capers for dinner.  Simpsons, X Files, Air Crash, and still managed to label 157 photos for Leavesden Studios.

Wednesday.  Woke up in the middle of the night for at least an hour and a half.  Sigh.  Ok day, not very exciting.  Leftover lamb roast for dinner.  Simpsons, then jigsaw (finished sorting pieces into basic colours), and Air Crash Investigations, and still managed to label 232 photos - I'm actually exactly on schedule now - 17500 photos labelled!!

Thursday.  Why is it the tireder you are, the harder it is to get to sleep???  So I was epic tired, went to bed on time, I might have nodded off briefly once, but otherwise didn't get to sleep til after midnight.  And then woke like every hour after that, but at least got back to sleep.  Ok day, I think.  

Made a creamy spaghetti for dinner that was absolutely amazing.

Onion, mushrooms, bacon, garlic

Cream, cheese

Spaghetti

Can you guess which section yet?

Friday.  Okish sleep, but still pretty tired.  Ok day planning for a change and eventually doing it, only to break everything cause *someone* didn't configure a remote environment in prod to be the same as test.  So this change I'd done in test didn't work in prod.  So technically not my fault, but I still felt responsible, because I should have made sure other people could do their job right before I could do mine.  TV dinner for dinner, then watched Weathering With You which was quite sweet, and, been-theres.

Saturday.  Slept mostly ok.  Nice quiet day doing house/photo type stuff.  It rained.  A lot.  Did slow cooked brisket for dinner which was pretty awesome, and did polenta as well, which I'd never done before.  Turned out ok.  The meal could have done with some greenery though ;)  Watched Dead Poets Society in the evening, which I hadn't seen in forever, possibly I saw it at the movies thirty two years ago.

Today.  Slept ok.  Another quiet day. 

Headed out after the rain stopped and saw my little patch of Floriade, and my birds, and a whole bunch of other birds as well. 

And went to Chris's for supplies.  Watched The Incredible Journey (which I'd seen a long long long time ago) while doing photo processing.  Then cooked up some mince, as well a whole heap of roast veggies for dinner.  Had a Zoom chat with EffanC, then watched the first episode of Love on the Spectrum.  Man I know I'm socially awkward but these guys have it much worse.  Or maybe I was that bad when I was younger (quite possibly was) and just "grew out of it" (read: "learned" how to people) - cause that's the thing with Asperger's, relating to people is something you actually need to learn, it certainly doesn't come naturally.  And blogged.  Took well over an hour.  Again... 

Monday.  23rd.  Backdating this.  Slept ok.  Fighting with vendors over strange intermittent problems.  Otherwise cleaning and tidying.  Kiev and veggies again for dinner.  Got most of my quota of photos labelled.  Watched Air Crash Investigations while blogging (took over an hour to blog the last week).

Tuesday.  Slept ok.  Cold and wet and miserable day!  Had to have the light on all day it was so dark.  Ok morning but a bit of a crazy afternoon (trying to concentrate on a meeting while trying to help people with crap).  Labelled 101 photos before dinner.  Only five rows of Dumbo to go.  Finished labelling after dinner.  

Stumpy got hungry early this year

Nearly there!

At this point I twinned up all the pieces, so progress went a lot faster.

Wednesday.  Ok day.  After work we headed back out to Brindabella to get our 14 day covid test.  At 5pm (peak hour) the main roads of Canberra looked like this:

Testing went a lot quicker this time.  We basically drove straight up to the big tent.  All up we were there just twenty minutes. 

Even afterwards in the heart of Civic it was pretty quiet.

Came home and got 72 photos labelled before dinner (just veggies and cheese sauce) and finished Dumbo in the evening.  This was probably the hardest section of the jigsaw so far.  Just so much brown/grey/blue/dark stuff so pieces could go anywhere.  I'm really *not* looking forward to Fantasia!

Thursday.  Slept ok.  Ok day.  Got our test results - negative.  Knew they would be :)  So left the house for the first time in over a week and went and saw some of my birds (they recognise me from a distance even with a mask on.  Clever birds!!). 

 Also stopped in at Chris's and picked up some supplies (including Corona!!).  

Simpsons/X Files (X Files: how to put a downer on your evening).  Started watching Forrest Gump.

Friday.  Slept ok.  Woke up to an SMS saying they couldn't find my test results, and I had to send them a screenshot to prove my negative test result *sigh*.  The whole handling of this outbreak has been a complete debacle!!  They had Stu's though.  Later I had a sad that I wasted two or three days rescanning slides last Christmas holidays, and yet I'm *still* trying to scan them to not have fluff/specks on them.  I'm *still* fixing up a box of slides per day.  Up to 130 out of 181 and wondering if it will *ever* get any easier.  hrmmmm. Ok day.  Made burritos for dinner with leftover wraps and mince from the club night a few months back (didn't eat all of them!).  

Simpsons and The Trial of the Chicago 7 in the evening.  I'd never heard of the incident.  Was fairly interesting anyway.

Saturday.  Nice quiet day of house stuff.  Put on Dumbo (on Disney+ even though I also have it on Bluray) so I could get a photo with the jigsaw.  As always, the jigsaw doesn't quite match an actual scene in the movie.  In this case, the jigsaw has Timothy Q Mouse, but in the movie he hadn't even met Timothy yet when he was having his bath.  

There was Mexican style fried rice for lunch (using the last of the rice and mince).

And am I a glutton for punishment of what? :)

Finished day 32 Eurasia labelling, only 86 beind the 500 per week schedule.  Lamb roast for dinner.  Watched The Girl on the Train in the evening.  It was ok I guess.

Sunday.  Achieved mostly nothing at all.  Saw my birds in the afternoon. 

I have to admit sometimes I'm pretty impressed with the iPhone camera.  I mean seriously.  This.  From a PHONE!!

Cooked all the veggies for dinner.  The sweetie even went back for seconds, so he must have liked them ;)  Super dumb episode of the X Files (Die Hand Die Verletzt) then Air Crash Investigations on MH17.

Twenty years ago today I took these timer photos of my hair from behind.  It was a little bit crazy!

More photos of James' cardboard sculpture puzzles, taken twenty years ago this month.

Sunday.  15th.  Backdating this, but only by a day :)  Cooked All The Food for dinner (lots of veggies, that went with some pulled pork I dug out of the freezer). 

Simpsons/X Files, then watched some commentry on John Williams' music.  Seriously the guy is a genius.  Check out Listening In's commentry on Jurassic Park, Prisoner of Azkaban, Star Wars and ET.

Monday.  Woke up at ~1am for a couple of hours.  Sigh.  Ok day. 

Even if we don't get to go to Floriade this year, I'll have my little neighbourhood patch of it.

Sausages and leftover veggies for dinner.  Managed 49 photos before dinner.  Had to do a fixup of geodata on some too.  Managed 192 all up, and an episode of Air Crash Investigations.

Tuesday.  Slept well for a change.  Not a bad day, looking at more cleaning to be done.  63 photos labelled before dinner - finished Day 29 Canon photos.  Still a long way behind :(  Managed 177 all up and an episode of Air Crash.

Wednesday.  Decided yesterday I'd do a mid week food shop, and go early to minimise exposure to potentially infectious people.  Worked pretty well, and the carpark was deserted.

Took me longer than I thought it would because I had to keep stopping to go back and push my own trolley (normally Stu drives).  There was plenty of toilet paper (I didn't get any cause we still had over half a pack left).  But there were a couple of fresh things I couldn't get (like cabbage and basil).  So did all that, as well as getting a bag of fresh veggies, milk and eggs for EffanC.  They'd been down the coast when lockdown was declared in both the ACT and NSW, so they had to come home and were still waiting on a Coles delivery.  

Was just getting ready for work when Stu said our nearby IGA was a covid exposure site.  And guess who was there during one of the specified close contact times last week?  Yeup.  All because Stu wanted ice cream we can't get at Chris's ;)  OMFG I was a nervous wreck all day.  We'd have to go get tested, although couldn't go during the day because Stu was busy doing interviews for work, and we weren't sure if we'd even get in after work, with the EPIC testing site having been closed at like 4pm on the Tuesday due to high demand.  We were worried we'd have to wait around all night and still not get tested and have to go back, or even get turned away completely.  Plus if we did test positive, then Coles would be an exposure site and I'd have put EffanC at risk too.  Yeah I was a mess all day.  Although my stress did turn to anger.  We should have been notified *immediately* once the IGA was listed.  We both checked in with the CheckinCBR app, so they would have known we were there at the specified time.  Was pretty pissed off about that actually.  Anyway, as soon as Stu was finished up with interviews we headed out.  Stu wanted to try Kambah first.  One website said it closed at 5pm, another 4pm.  So we weren't sure when it would close.  Turns out it closes at 4pm and it had already closed by the time we got there.  (as it turns out, the 5pm closing time was from last year but I'd missed that when I was looking because I was so stressed).  So headed to Brindabella.  I was expecting traffic to be banked back around the airport, but we got all the way to Brindabella and were wondering where all the cars were.  Turns out it simply wasn't crowded (even though half an hour before we left home they'd tweeted it would be a three hour wait).  We took a whole stack of food.  We didn't need it.  We got to the first triage tent at 17:07 then joined the queue.  It took til about 18:00 to get to the big tent, then about twenty five minutes to get to the front of the line to get our tests.  It was unpleasant, but not as bad as I thought it would be.  So an hour twenty and we were out of there.  Got home, had some salad for dinner (hurrah for fresh food), then had a Zoom drink with EffanC.  Needed it.  Collapsed into bed for an early night.

Thursday.  Woke up at ~1am til past 3am.  Sigh.  Busy day, mostly dealing with interruptions.  Beer, pizza, Simpsons, X Files and an early night.

Friday.  Hurty for a bit in the night.  Woke up in the morning to find we'd been smsed our test results - negative.  Phew.  Ok day.  Had another Zoom drink/catchup with EffanC.  Salmon and salad for dinner, then Simpsons and Moneyball.  An odd choice for the sweetie I thought, but based on a true story and not a bad movie, for a sports movie ;)

Saturday.  Slept ok for a change.  Although that didn't stop my clumsiness trying to put out our pills/vitamins for the week, spilling things *three fricken times*.  Very upsetting.  Alternated between house stuff, photo labelling (still trying to catch up from a crazy couple of weeks), and jigsaw.  Made Dominos pepperoni and feta on puff pastry pizza for lunch.  

In the afternoon we got SMSes from ACT Health - "Check In CBR has identifed that you may have attended a COVID-19 exposure location".  Yeah no kidding guys, this was the message I should have gotten THREE AND A HALF DAYS AGO!!!!!  Fricken hopeless.  Chicken kiev and roast veggies for dinner.  Then watched Wall Street, which I'd never actually seen before.

Sunday.  Slep ok.  Another day of house stuff, photo stuff, and jigsaw.  My ideal weekend really.  And literally no different to a non-lockdown weekend (well other than not having to do food shopping, and not being able to go see my birds, on account of being in strict lockdown). 

Got a call from WA Health in the afternoon - taking some of the load off ACT Health and calling people in exposure sites - making sure we'd been tested and were quarantining.. yes and yes.  We'll have to get tested again this week, hopefully won't have to wait as long this time. 

Another afternoon of cooking all the food (mince to have with whatever at some point, and an arribbiata bake sans basil). 

Downloaded my phone photos.  Apple has gone back to arranging photos into a thousand per folder.  I mean why change to arranging them by month (a change for the better I thought) if you were just going to revert it a couple of months later??  Far out I hate Apple.  Watched The Movies that Made Us episode on Forrest Gump, and then the first half of Forrest Gump.  And blogged this Monday, ssh don't tell anyone!

Sunday.  8th.  Filling in the evening after I blogged :)  Cooked All The Veggies for dinner.  Had all the roasted veggies, with mince and cheese and sour cream on the potato wedges.  Yumminess.

Simpsons, X Files, Air Crash Investigations.

Monday.  Ok day.  Got practise looking at traffic spikes and figuring out what they were.  Labelled 182 photos - have finished Egypt and onto London, day 28.

Tuesday.  Pretty quiet day, although didn't get much done.  Leftovers/Simpsons/jigsaw/cleaned kitchen/backed up computer and suddenly it's 8pm.  Hrmm.  And labelling goes super slowly when you need to identify every building in Legoland Miniland (eg Covent Garden, which I'd never been to before, so that took a bit of flying around Google Maps trying to find it).  So I only managed to label 26 photos before dinner, did a few more while watching tv, managing 48 all up for the evening.  hrmmm.

Wednesday.  Started off ok, but then felt like a failure because I couldn't solve some stoopid problems with stoopid firewalls and stoopid proxies.  Then arguments with people who made me feel like everything I do is wrong.  Sigh.  It was a wine and scotch and no photo labelling kind of an evening.  

Thursday.  Woke up at 3am but didn't get back to sleep ~5am :(  So I was tired and grumpy.  The bathroom sealer people called me in the morning - the asbestos test came back positive (duh) so they won't do minor works, they'll only do a complete bathroom renovation so the asbestos can all be removed.  Sigh.  More fighting with stoopid firewalls and feeling like a failure and people hate me cause I hate everything.  Felt miserable all afternoon.  

But on a lighter note, before lunch it was announced Canberra would go into a snap seven day lockdown due to our first local cases of covid in over a year (it finally happened).  And my first reaction was woohoo.  I mean literally.  To just stay at home and not have to deal with people (at least directly) for a week - heaven.  I mean don't get me wrong, I do actually feel really bad for peeps in the hospitality and "non-essential" retail whose anxiety levels will go through the roof not knowing where their next pay check will come from, or anyone that had a wedding or something planned for this weekend - that'd be pretty devastating for them.  Neil and I had lunch at the mall as usual, then we went for a walk through the fresh food section to laugh at all the people panic buying milk and toilet paper.  About half the trolleys we saw had toilet paper in them.

I should point out that after all the panic buying of toilet paper finished last year and it was readily available again, I bought a pack of 24 and put it downstairs.  Then I've continued to buy it normally ever since, knowing that if we ever did have a snap lockdown, we'd be set.  In fact we'd just opened a pack of 12, so won't need any in the short term.

At 12:49pm there was already a queue to get into Woollies

And there was a queue at Baker's Delight too

HBZ also went shopping just after lunch, and already all the toilet paper was gone, and it took him an hour and a half to get through the checkouts.  Yikes!

On the way home we stopped for essentials - read - beer! ;)  Although tragically, Chris had sold out of Corona! *gasp*  ;)

Beer and pizza for dinner.  This is why I'm going to die young:

Friday the 13th.  Got somewhat better sleep, and actually managed to achieve some stuff at work.  Went for a walk at lunch and saw my birds. 

In the afternoon I went to check the mailbox and this daisy was there to greet me

So I got photos of some of the other flowers out already as well

Picked up TV dinners from Chris's (we actually have a freezer full of leftovers, but I really didn't feel like cooking) - he said it had been pretty quiet. 

Watched the 2008 Get Smart with the sweetie, which was completely ridiculous but I was snorting all through it - just a bit of fun :)

Saturday.  I'd had an early night, but woke up a bit before 5 and never got back to sleep.  Turned 30.  I'll let you figure out what base (thanks DC :) ).  Stu cooked breakfast of Pialligo bacon and cheesy hash browns. So brown but so good!!!!

Then had a lovely day just pottering around the house, doing jigsaw and the like.  Stu also had fun, building his little morse code thingie...

At lunch we went for a walk to see the birds, and saw this very smelly burnt out car.

And the sweetie took a photo of me in front of the same wattle tree I had photos of the other day.

In the afternoon I did a 500 piece jigsaw as a break from the agonisingly slow Dumbo.  Sadly it was missing a piece, but that's what you get for Green Shed jigsaws.  The sky was pretty at dusk too.

We may have shared some bubbles.

We got Chong Co delivered for dinner!

We had the wagyu salad and the duck salad (I asked for everything "medium" but the beef was a bit hot for me - endorphins!)

As well as the pork belly prik pao (not crispy anymore from being in transit) and satay chicken

Delicious!

After dinner we put on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, which we enjoyed with heated Gluhwein and candles.

And all through the day (except the 10 second blackout and time taken for the router to reconnect) Stu put on a John Williams playlist which added a wonderful soundtrack to actually quite a wonderful day.

Sunday.  Another nice quiet day.  Took ages to do slide fixup scanning because every time I rescanned a bunch of slides, they'd get dust in different positions :(  

Late in the morning we went for a walk and saw these tiny flowers

With bee!

For lunch I made salami and olive pizza scrolls

My lockdown lunch is better than yours!

In the afternoon I alternated between Dumbo jigsaw and Legoland photo labelling (including geotagging a bunch I'd taken on the train but hadn't set the location) - managed 113 photos - so I'm still *way* behind where I need to be.  I also pulled everything out of the freezer and did an audit of what we have.  There's quite a bit of leftover meat (including a bunch of food from various club nights), and some frozen veggies.  I'm thinking I might do an early morning shopping trip one day this week to get more fresh food.

Then put on dinner (all the veggies, with some pulled pork from the freezer) - finished off most of our fresh vegetables, and blogged.

My 8th birthday in 1981

Me on roller skates on the morning of my 8th birthday.  These things weren't boots but let you put your shoe in, and they were adjustable.  They were a nice idea to give more years of use, but they weren't all that great bearing-wise, and not as stable on your feet/ankles as boots so they didn't get a lot of use.  Of course Mum's crappy camera at the time cut things off, including the roller skates!

Me with my 8th birthday cake (with a marshmallow petal design based on the "4" cake in the Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake book).

 Kerrie Williams, Nicole Pederson, Karen, Donna Bonnefin, David, Melissa Mackay, David Owen.  Again with the crappy camera.

My 8th birthday party. Back: Nicole Pederson, Melissa Mackay, David Owen; Front: David, Kerrie Williams, Karen, Donna Bonnefin

The next day we went pony riding at Cecil Park. I'm on Bubbles and Donna is on Pebbles.

David on Bubbles, Karen on Pebbles and Donna on Sparky

After the horseriding we dropped in to see Nana and Grandpa

In the evening we went to Grandma and Grandpa's at Hurstville

My 18th birthday in 1991 was pretty quiet I think - I don't remember having any sort of party.

Me and my 18th birthday cake

Me and Nana

Me and Mum

My and my 18th birthday cards and presents.  I asked for a CD player/tape deck so I could listen to CDs in my room (and tape them to tape for flexibility).  I actually still have it, although from memory I think it's got issues with the volume of the CD player.  I'll have to pull it out and try it again one day.  There were also some David Bowie CDs and a Billy Joel LP (I think we found that second hand somewhere).

My 28th birthday in 2001 has no photos so I have no idea what I did.  Most likely I went home for dinner (although that seems unlikely because Mum would surely have taken a photo), but was otherwise I was probably depressed because I was single and nearly 30.  Possibly it was the year I went clubbing with Ding in the city somewhere. 

My 38th birthday in 2011 was actually in Sydney.  We'd gone up the Saturday to see a John Williams concert at the Opera House which was awesome, and had dinner at Tradies with my family.  On the Sunday (my birthday) we went to Miranda Fair for tea and cupcakes and Stu bought my birthday present (a food processor), then to Sizzler with James/George/Luc/Lizzi and the kids.

My 40th birthday in 2021 was in covid lockdown, but the sweetie and I still had a lovely day at home with Chong Co delivered for dinner.

Monday.  2nd.  Not backdating this for a change ;)  Ok day.  Spent entirely too long trying to figure out what was causing a spike in traffic somewhere.  Really really need to relearn Splunk.  Saw eight of my birds at lunch!  Leftovers for dinner (Dinner Winner with veggies from the club night).  Managed to label 285 photos.  Found some new episodes of Air Crash investigations on Disney+, and blogged the week before last while watching an episode.  

Tuesday.  Ok day.  Lots of looking at traffic graphs and discovering new (and bad) things about one of our firewalls.  Managed to label 50 photos before dinner (turkey burnt ends and veggies from the club).  Ended up labelling 199 photos all up, and blogged last week while watching another episode of Air Crash Investigations.

Wednesday.  Restless sleep.  I like *going* to sleep on my belly, but my neck still hurts a bit from my Covid jab, but that's no so bad, I get more pain later after I wake up with an aching lower back.  If I lie on my sides my hands will go numb which is super annoying, and if I lie on my back I can't breathe.  So I really can't win.  Only managed to finish yesterday's slide fixup scanning (story of my life this week).  Decent day though - learnt *heaps* about our network, and organised a bunch more traffic graphs.  Leftovers for dinner.  Only managed to label 54 photos though.  Another episde of Air Crash Investigations while blogging the penne bake.

Thursday.  Another day of working on traffic graphs and dashboards.  

Friday.  Too busy dealing with All The Things to play with Splunk like I really wanted to.  Popped out for an impromptu Herbert's lunch with Tony and the Chrises.

Shared some loaded fries and skewers with Tony

Leftover pizza for dinner (fried of course, but a little over done because we used the bigger pan to fit it all in, but we don't have a big lid to cover it).  Watched In the Heart of the Sea, essentially about the sinking of the Essex and the survival story of the crew.  I felt quite tense watching most of it.  Pretty well done.  Interesting and quite tragic story too.

Saturday.  Fairly quiet day.  Did a bit of stuff around the house and some jigsaw (making agonisingly slow progress on that).  For dinner I used up some of the mince from the other week - heated with a leftover half punnet of tomato paste, some Worcestershire sauce, half a litre of stock with about a third to a half a packet of macaraoni, some leftover peas/corn/carrots, and cheese.  Basically my own One Pan Dinner.

Watched When a Man Loves a Woman in the evening.  I'd seen this a long time ago, but Stu hadn't seen it.  Quite a powerful movie.

Sunday.  Another quiet day pottering around the house.  Finished last week's photo labelling, worked on the jigsaw, did a bit of fish tank stuff.

Notice the symmetry in the completedness.  Every time I get a piece in from one side, I find the same shaped piece and put it in on the other side too.  

Dinner tonight will be the rest of the leftover mince with a whole heap of roasted veggies.

Twenty years ago today I took photos of my model of the Concorde.  Possibly this was actually when I built it.
