I think the cat is suffering from sensory overload the way her head is spinning. Watching the currawong call out from a neighbouring building, the pigeons cooing the other way and then a noisy bunch of myna birds swooping around.
Made a list of all the things I want to get done around home next week so I don’t get to the end of my holiday in a few weeks and start trying to do everything in two days. Let’s see how I go 🤷🏻♂️
Thought I’d lay on the bed and read for a while but it’s hard to focus when you’re being stared at.
Projects really do think they’re more important than anything else you might be doing, making them the worst offenders at booking over the top of existing meetings or lunch breaks. “I can’t find another time so I had to book over your lunch blockout” gets an instant decline.
A warmish winter night so I’m out on my balcony just relaxing and enjoying the night air. A shame the night air is carrying the noise of the guy in the apartment building nearby screaming at the footy on his tv every two minutes.
I’m in single digits until my holidays with nine working days left. I’ve already set up my out of office message ready to turn on, basically says “on leave, talk to X”. For a longer holiday I never say my return date; ensures people don’t hold things over in the last few days waiting for my return.
🚶 Sunday afternoon walk to the local Amazon locker to pick up the first of my prime day parcels. Capitalism creating exercise opportunities.
It’s another cold day here and as I’m working from home today I’ve dug out my old cable knit pullover. It’s over 30yrs old but still as warm and comfortable as the day I bought it. It will probably last another 30yrs given Brisbane winters are not that long.
The iPhone App Library groupings can be very random. X has moved from Social to News, which is ridiculous. Although it’s also moved all Apple apps (reminders, mail, calendar, contacts, notes, maps) from Productivity into Other. You’d think at a minimum Apple would categorise its own apps correctly.
Gorgeous winter afternoon for a walk beside the river. Just before 5pm, 18°c and clear skies.
