Monday:<\/b> Collected the glass panel door, fixed by Wynberg Glass. Installed it, and neatened up the beading that was left looking not so great. Finished watching season 1 of Taboo<\/a>.<\/p>\n I’m trying something new for work lunches. I roast packet frozen vegetables to put on top of spinach leaves. Quite nice and a much needed change from salad.<\/p>\n Tuesday:<\/b> Cooked some chicken in a roasting bag<\/a> – tasty! Side project coding on a filename tagging program<\/a>.<\/p>\n Wednesday:<\/b> Parcel collection at Loot. (poker study books.) Gym session with Johnny. Worked late. Got irritated with work and colleagues. Once again this reflected worse on me than with them. A little side project coding.<\/p>\n Thursday:<\/b> Woke early, couldn’t sleep. Lunch time trip home to give access to a plumber for common property repairs. Grocery shopping. Body corporate phone call. Went to see Atomic Blonde<\/a> at the Labia, not bad, not great either.<\/p>\n Friday:<\/b> Finished reading Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian by Marina Lewycka. A busy stressful work week, deadline ahead and people seem to be getting irritated with each other. Planning a dinner party, lots of grocery shopping. I don’t like reading about manipulative relationships. And that is what I see as the main theme of this novel, despite a layer of humour and a contemplative ending.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/b> All day cooking session. Dinner party with Brian, Di, David and Colette. I made roast lamb, pumpkin pie, roast vegetables, quinoa and sweet potato salad<\/a>, and tiramisu for dessert. Enjoyable evening.<\/p>\n Sunday:<\/b> Didn’t sleep well, despite being very tired. Washing up and tidying up after the party. Lunch with mom at The Black Angus. Watched the Italian F1 grand Prix, a year since I was there. Some side project coding, and poker study.<\/p>\n My work week was divided into:<\/em>\u00a050% bug fixing, 40% documentation, 10% video recording;<\/p>\n Podcasts<\/em><\/a> listened to this week: CppCast; Making It #132; Hanselminutes; BBC Books & Authors; NPR What It Takes; TWIT Triangulation; NPR How I Built This; Making It #133.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The week of Aug 28, 2017 – Sep 3, 2017 A busy stressful\u00a0work week, but relaxed taking time off from Coursera studies… Monday: Collected the glass panel door, fixed by Wynberg Glass.
