Sunday. 31st. Baked a cake! Two cakes actually. A coconut cake done properly (in the oven!) and a plain vanilla butter cake from the Australian Women's Weekly Birthday Cake Book. Stu didn't want a numbered cake, but I decided I needed to practise cooking cakes (I never do it) so that one day I can make numbered cakes. And everything else. Used the top element only, which apparently doesn't work very well for baking cakes. The coconut cake was hot and crispy on top, but still soggy on the bottom (done in a silicone mould). The butter cake fared better because it was in a metal tin so the heat transferred better. It was a good experiment for testing out the oven, but next time I think I'll go back to my regular mode of rear element with fan (or at least top element with fan). I also may have made a batch of vanilla cream icing. With some very very very very old icing mixture. It had turned into little balls of hard icing sugar which needed persuading to go through the sifter. Dinner was pizzas, because, the sweetie. And birthday calories don't count right? DS9 6.17.
Monday. 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
All. The. Crap. kind of a day. Leftovers for dinner I think. DS9 6.18.
Tuesday. Rinse and repeat of Monday. Had a bit of a tootle on the saxophone. Cooked up a batch of brussels sprouts and bacon and a cauliflower and pasta bake for dinner. DS9 6.19.
Wednesday. Rinse and repeat of Monday and Tuesday. Including saxophone. And leftovers of above. DS9 6.20 which was a lot of fun.
Thursday. Did some work on prod DC migration stuff. No time for tootling though because I wanted to label some photos. Pizzas and garlic bread for dinner. DS9 6.21 and more labelling.
Friday. Bits and pieces day. Tried to replicate a problem with our virtual environment but couldn't do it. I did manage to copy paste 12 groups with the APIs in a few minutes that would have taken hours to do manually. Did my Saturday morning routine after work so my Saturday would be more freed up. Kievs for dinner, DS9 6.22, Tokyo Trial #3.
Saturday. Somewhat restless sleep. Even though I did a lot of my Saturday routine last night, I still ended up doing a whole bunch of housework today. Other bits and pieces too. Luv-a-duck, zucchini and leftover pasta bake for dinner. Then watched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which I'd never seen before.

Sunday. Slept okish I think. Another day of just trying to Get Things Done.
