(Ah, if only I’d waited another 4 days 
- Ghenghiscon quiz night win, thanks to a most excellent team. I really need to memorize countries and capitals.
- UCC dinner at Mez in Northbridge. Food was pretty good, but quite a loud venue on a Friday night (I suspect even if you subtracted the UCC’s noise
- DogCow dinner at Trigg Island Café. Not cheap (not particularly expensive), but the food, serving size and service were all excellent (on a Tuesday night, too!). Went the Blackened Fish and the Cherries Jubilee (which came with three full scoops of icecream!)
- A very enjoyable random dinner at The Moon
- My first site visit to as yet mostly unfurnished Perth Artifactory. Lots of potential there, hopefully it’ll be realised! And hopefully it’ll get me making stuff.
- Blood pressure monitoring. Seems it’s 15 points lower when it’s not in the GP’s office. Or between the left and right arms
- Discovered that while you may only need to keep your tax records for 7 years, you probably want to keep your share records for longer than that when you’re trying to work out your Capital Gains Tax.
- 4WD towball through my car’s front grille in the UWA carpark. Don’t bother using your horn, the other driver probably has the stereo on. Looks like mainly cosmetic damage. Now have to decide, do I claim and perhaps get the car written off (and then have to come up with money to buy a new one?) or do I just live with it?
- Planted squash, butternut pumpkin, golden cucumbers and pansies (in a hope that they’ll either keep the bugs away or get eaten first. Plus it’s easier to get the kids to water the flowers and they’re conveniently next to the veges). Hoping for some more groundcover to keep the grass at bay. I think one of the secrets the whole vege gardening has reinforced (I did learn it on my permaculture introduction), is to plant lots of different things close together. A nice big cauliflower, which unfortunately went to seed.
- Watched “The Pink Panther” at movie club. Still worth a few laughs. I wonder how long it is before movie ratings include “Includes smoking”? (Or will it just come under “Drug references”?)
- Leaves on the fig, flowers on the plum, many mulberries waiting to ripen (and then those that the kids can reach get eaten). Hoping we get some mulberry stained eggs from the chooks…
