Life lived in dot points
- It rains! This is very exciting. So far, we've had 1.2 mm (in about 2 hours). The season, it is a changing! update: in the time it took to post this, another bit came through, and now we have had 2.5 mm!
- Spent a couple (or more) days this week with proto-migraine - vague, dodgy language, weird visual gumph in right eye. However, it came good yesterday, without ever having the full on migraine. Win.
- crafting - I have been sewing. Actual patchwork. I decided to go back to basics, and make up a quilt based on 5" squares, and not care about anything. Turns out one of the four packs of squares I had was all ballet themed and pink, which didn't go wonderfully with the rest, so I've made a 5*5 block, and I'm going to give it to co-worker's kid, who is the right age to be ballet obsessed in the way that would appreciate this. Have taken a 'just one seam' (each day) approach. Tomorrow's task is finding backing (polar fleece)
- Three of the board gaming group risked an in person catch up, with masks for those of us at the table (we had all been relatively low risk through the week, me WFH making it better)
- WFH has been challenging. Certain individuals have not yet learned not to be a bloody nuisance. Had a three hour zoom meeting that I was listening in on for most of it (got a few bits that I had relevant to say, but mostly it was me learning a whole lot of stuff, and being kept in the loop) and at the end of it I was shouting at other members of the house about keeping it down.
- Youngest turned 18, and for that they got a 6am start for today's shift, rather than an 8am. They are so tired. We have failed to get them an federal election, but at least it can't be before they are old enough to vote :). Gift wise, they suggested a range of small things, so we just went all in and got the lot (which probably added up to about what we spent on the older two).
- Youngest made a wail of despair this afternoon, on getting home from work and sitting down at their desk. Turned out that the group work member who needed to do a bit more work on the poster they all presented on Monday has covid and hasn't been well enough. On the plus side, the assignment was submittable, and Youngest tested negative on a RAT (they were presenting side by side on Monday, and while Youngest's mask wearing is reasonably good, I have no faith in the majority of people)
- pretty pretty dresses ordered from Nerdy Keppie arrived. Just in time for it to be too cool to wear them (although Middlest is wearing one of theirs to board gaming this evening , and asked me to take photos)

Aii. Yes, every train carriage has their
plague carrierpoorly performing mask wearer these days. Here's hoping that it wasn't contagious, whatever it was :(
