Busy period at work at the moment. As I remind my teams, nothing is life or death, just do what you can.

Made the mistake of looking at one EV car ad on instagram and now I’ve seen every EOFY deal for every EV available in Australia.

I have a four hour solution verification workshop with a vendor this morning. My views on the rushed implementation and the Monday morning scheduling are clear but no harm in reinforcing.

🍿 I’ve just finished watching the Hobbit movies having only seen them when first released. Confirmed my view they should have been two not three films. I watched them in one hour bits and I think it actually improved the experience. I didn’t get bored like I would have watching the full film.

Not normally a fan of apple in drinks but this The Leprechaun cocktail with Jameson, apple, yuzu and lemon is an exception.

A cocktail in a large tumbler on a white marble bar. Wine bottles are visible in the shelving in the background. The cocktail is a medium yellow colour, white foam on top and a dried apple garnish visible.

🍝 Decided to stop at my favourite Italian restaurant for an early dinner on the walk home. Pannacotta could be in my future.

🍸 Little cocktail to fill in some time as you do.

🎶 Time for some Beethoven & Brahms by the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.

Amused at person starting a blog to “fight fascists” has chosen substack to do so. I’m guessing they use AI to write the posts using the articles they cite at the end. No way they can be this prolific, in-depth, across a range of topics. Looking for donations so grifters going to grift I guess.

Cold snap and 8°c on the way to work means I can wear the cold weather gear usually worn when I go south on holidays. The long woollen coat, scarf, leather gloves, and woollen beanie are all keeping me nice and warm.
