Important update! The pudding was delicious.

Tonight we’ll be having our weekly dinner at my mum’s place and all that I can think about right now is the self-saucing chocolate pudding that we’ll be eating for dessert. It’s killing me.

The show that I easily miss watching the most would have to be Battlestar Galactica. It really has the best soundtrack of any TV show. I’ve been annoying Natasha about watching it with me for some time… we’ll see if she agrees soon. 🌟

This ridgey-didge, ‘double-automatic’ Roache hand-dryer includes an illustrated demonstration of how to use the technology, featuring a lovingly adapted version of our national coat of arms. ‘What’s that, Skip?

I’m watching Natasha play hockey today and it is so windy that the clubhouse in which I’m standing seems like it could be blown over at any moment.

Strewth, mate… now that’s a bloody Aussie trophy cabinet. The broken shelf and dodgy doors? She’ll be right…

I’m grateful to work with such supportive people. Still, the best thing to happen was being given a Mac. Really, macOS enables me to do so much more than Windows. Microsoft has come a long way and Office 365 is good, but the OS is still ordinary.

Paco and Coco enjoyed some grass at the park! (Excuse my slightly over-the-top Kath & Kim-esque voice.)
