I had a good Sunday lunch at the pub and a relaxed afternoon yesterday, have a relatively sane looking week lined up at work and then out for an outdoor Shakespeare play (rain permitting) on Friday.
Toddler had a rough night last night, and now the eldest has walked downstairs sneezing and coughing. Guess we’re about to have our third family cold in the last 6 weeks.
Urgh.
From an outsider perspective, I did basically nothing at all this weekend. Stayed in, wore pyjamas, watched tv and pottered on my laptop.
But really we finished catching up on all Futurama ever so now we can watch the new episodes. I made good progress on making my game dev project a bit prettier. And I made a spreadsheet of everything we need to pack for holiday on Friday including how many craft projects I can justify taking. Might have to leave the Steam Deck home though, alas. Also fixed a bit of fraying on some me-made giant palazzo pants.
So really it was a productive weekend, just not from anyone else’s point of view!
Absolutely dreading this week. Quite apart from the laundry juice incident I already made a post about, it’s just gonna be hectic trying to get everything ready for hols while also getting ahead of myself work-wise. I spy some late nights incoming.
(Just as I went to hit post, some ridiculous noise started up from next door. Some kind of sanding tool perhaps? It’s very loud and kind of whiney and oh lord this is gonna be a bad day)
Looks like an interesting game dev be interested to see how that develops.
TV’s backlight died a couple of days ago and I’m waiting for the replacements to arrive (hopefully tomorrow), might be a bugger to fix but it’s worth a shot anyway (only a £20 part and if I can’t fix it it’s going in the bin and being replaced anyway).
Otherwise, family from abroad are staying nearby this week so we’ll be taking them around the area!
Outdoor Shakespeare play? How delightfully English.
Spoiled some nieces, slept a whole bunch, drank some wine, watched some films, all in all pretty chilled and decent.
This week our wee dog gets an operation for his cruciate ligament so that’s the priority.
I’m going back to work today after a week off driving around the backwoods of NY, VT and NH. I drank good wine and locally made whiskey, ate some damn good food, climbed mountains and swam in lakes… it was a great vacation. That said, I could use another week off to recover from my vacation.
