Staying out of the 40c heat by booking flights and accommodation for some weekends away during the year. I like to have things to look forward to.

I’ve decided I will vote for any party which includes banning residential construction noise on a Saturday as part of their manifesto.

This may be connected to the fact we’re now into the third hour of jackhammering and pile driving by the new apartment building construction site up the block.

Adding some more filters - “Beckham” and “posh spice”.

Stupid sport question stopped me scoring 10/10 on The Saturday Paper quiz.

🍽️ Off to a long lunch in the middle of the week.

Having completed another lap around the sun I’m practising for retirement.

📺 Just watched the new Star Trek: Starfleet Academy and it had some good moments but underwhelming overall. Will give it a few more episodes before deciding. 🖖🏻

I love to read actual books but also read ebooks, mainly when I travel but also if the library only has a digital version.

One thing I really like about the Kobo Clara compared to a book is being able to sit in the cool(ish) breeze on the balcony and read without needing to put the light on. 📚

🌧️ I washed the car yesterday so apologies to everyone in Brisbane. It will rain all day today.

First warning sign it was going to be one of those days was an email where someone printed a proposal, highlighted the bit they claimed we hadn’t followed, scanned the pages, and sent with cc to 11 others. Problem with the point they were trying score was using the archived version not the active.

I do love getting to work when it’s already 30°c at 8:30am only to discover the airconditioning isn’t working and it’s hotter and stuffy inside.

If they’re not here to sort it soon I’m taking my laptop to go sit in a shady spot outside.
