Yesterday was sleep in the morning (hurrah!!) then Survivor (Heroes vs Villains) then some work (til I was told to get off) then Something's Gotta Give (which was mislabelled as As Good As it Gets) then Ice Castles (borrowed off Neil - sweet movie) then dinner (the sweetie cooked pasta yayyyy) then bed (early - 10pm).
Today after a good nights' sleep went to work. Morning went quite quickly and then it was meetings all afternoon and then it was beer o'clock. And now it's 9:30pm. Most pleasant day of the week really heh.
Spent most of today resting. In fact I spent several hours in bed trying *unsuccessfully* to sleep some more. Grunt.
Got up and ready around lunch time then sat at my computer for a while before dialling into work to teleconference with the vendor of one of our problematic products.
Tried again to sleep. Failed.
Cooked a tomato bake with some potato and Batman chicken nuggets for dinner.
Started feeling better after dinner. But now I'm in a dilemma.. do I go to work tomorrow, work from home, or just continue to rest/recover?? F1!!
I still don't have pictures for this entry. If anyone cares, come back in a few days.
The first half of the long weekend was great.
Friday night we went over to Nat and Andrew's and met Suki. Soooo cute! Had pizza for dinner, then played some Wii music (some bits of it were fun, others were tedious), Singstar, Wiiracas and Mario Kart.
Saturday we went to Belco markets for breakfast and to look at fish shops. Got back and got some housework done then spent a good chunk of the afternoon doing fish stuff. Stu did a big tidy of the fish stuff in the garage and I cleaned out the danio tank and took the five danios back upstairs.
Sunday was doing more housey stuff when I started having an immune reaction. So went and lay down around lunch time for a couple of hours. The rest of the afternoon went in slow motion. Did do a little tidying of my hobby room, so at least the day wasn't a complete waste :/
Today was just a mopey blah sort of day. Did a jigsaw. Ripped some of my cds. Did the food shopping cause we had to. That was about it really.
I did freecycle a couple of inkjet printers which was good. Although a bit sad giving away a printer I spent $300 on back in the day. Nowadays it's practically cheaper to buy a new printer than it is to buy new ink. So stoopid.
Have a couple of days worth of blog/photos to post one day...
Feeling like crap at the moment.. probably got whatever Andrew had on Friday .. *sigh*
Went over to Scott and Kerry's for dinner cause Jeff and Ruth were in town.
Had a beer and a bit of wine and the evening passed quite smoothly heh
Sunday arvo, Nat and Andrew picked me up and we toddled off to the Canberra Show. I've never been before (and in fact haven't been to the Sydney Easter Show since it was last at Paddington in 1997).
Had a good time just wandering around and looking at things. Barely spent any money. I did buy five daffodil bulbs. And a Moove (the mobile Moove man kinda convinced me). And a hot dog and fairy floss for dinner. Quite annoyed that you can't buy fresh fairy floss anymore, you have to buy it in a plastic bag :(
Took 383 photos.. here's just a few of them :)
Ferris Wheel and tower from the car park. The walk back to the car felt like a lot lot longer than the walk from the car!
Working steam engine
These guys look a bit like our next door neighbour's goat

Kitty with a moustache. We were trying to take pictures through the bars and the dude came along and opened the cage for us :)
I so want one of these! This thing (apart from the way cool little house around it) has a tv and dvd/cd player built in!! Andrew said all we need is water-proof wii-motes for spa-wii-ing :)
I always like the cake decorating. This ship was my favorite
Icing flowers are amazing!
This was straight out of the Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake book..! Lame!! Especially since it won a prize

Back to the pigs. Noticed this time that all the piglets' tails were docked :(
Camel race
They race to a bucket of food at the end of the track
This kid looked as if she owned the place. She was in everyone's way of the view, so we couldn't help but laugh when she later fell off trying to get on or off.
They were running about 45 minutes late and we had to go, but the Hiluxes started up as we were half way round the track)
Flying Hilux!
Formatted my C: drive last night and installed Windows 7 proper. Copped plenty of flak at work for buying it retail, but now that I come to think of it, it's probably the first time I've *ever* paid full price for an operating system.. The last couple have come with the PCs and before that it was all uni stuff.
I decided not to get an upgrade, since I didn't want to spend time trying to find my Dell recovery cds or deal with any of the hassles of trying to get a key to work (having read horror stories about it).
So backed everything up just in case (data is all on d: drive, but it was scheduled for last night anyway) then backed up my users directory to make sure I had things like my Google Earth place markers, Live Messenger history, and Chrome history/session data.
And then installed Windows 7. Went totally smoothly. In fact a few minutes after it started I went and hung out all my washing, then came back and it was nearly done. Installed and restored Chrome and I was up and running again, hurrah!
Scary ... the sweetie was in bed reading one of his manga comics, and asked me if I recognised a building in it (in Shinjuku). And I'm .. yes.. that was where we were trying to find dinner but didn't know where we were going and trying to negotiate the bus interchange and craziness of the station and we (Andrew and I) were getting quite grumpy cause of low blood sugar levels and I took a photo of the Citizen clock at one end (it was 7:50pm)..
Went to the Canberra Show today with Nat and Andrew. Pictures tomorrow - I'll be up past midnight if I try to do them now.
We're also going to see Cats in Melbourne with Nat and Andrew in a few weeks, hurrah! :)
I knew this was coming in March, but didn't think it'd give me so little warning :/
Welcome to my little piece of the Blogosphere!
