Wow the wind behind the rain is quite chilly. I got the rain-protected windows open to let it in the house. Inside temp dropping rapidly.

Oat milk sweetness isn’t all made the same, there’s unsweetened versions you might like more. I usually buy the barista varieties to have with coffee, sometimes over cereal, they’re not overly sweet. On its own is not nice.
I’m a cow milk drinker, but too much in a day makes my stomach upset, so I sub with oat when needed.

Out of those I’ve tried (soy, almond, oat), soy is at the bottom, oat at the top.

Have made holiday to-do list for jobs around the house. Feeling too hungover to make a start on anything today, so doing the list makes me feel like I’m accomplishing something. It’s a pretty aspirational list and I feel tired just looking at it. If I knock off a couple of the harder tasks I’ll be happy. Especially the painting jobs, they have to get done. I haaate painting.

Biscoff trifle made. Just need to add the whipped cream on top while I’ll do just before serving. I hope it’s going to be a hit. The biscoff cream called for the whole tub of spread and it tasted pretty good on my sampling.
Garlic butter for garlic bread made. The local Italian supermarket was out of the long ciabatta rolls I wanted to use for this, so need to go back earlier tomorrow to secure. The worker said ciabatta man delivers the goods at 9am tomorrow.
Clean up time then I’m hitting the beers to celebrate no more work for 2024! I’ve got some spiced rum which I used in the trifle, l’ll be sampling on its own tonight. Don’t think I’ve ever had it.

Very apocalyptic looking outside, and now the smoke smell has hit where I am, it’s really strong.

I’m making a biscoff trifle for friend Christmas on the weekend and just realised I have no trifle dish. And these are hard to track down at this time of year apparently. I think I found one in stock at the local Salt & Pepper store, half price as well. But does this dish have any other uses or only for trifle? Sounds like a kitchen cupboard clogger.

This sounds like drill to me, which was big around the time this song seems to have come out. This song in particular was my intro to drill.

Doing some late night work as I caught up with a friend this morning which railroaded my day. Ughh people coming out of the woodwork with new jobs for me to do the week before Christmas. All of which can wait until the new year. I said to myself this week I will only be finishing projects on the go, and I intend to stick to that.

This is really helpful, thank you - tells me that I should just pay the fine. The time, stress and anxiety of challenging the police isn’t worth it for me. The front tyres were over the line on red but from what I’ve read, with fixed camera fines, part of the car being over means no infringement. All I have is my version of events and I’m going against fixed camera equipment, I don’t like my chances.

I thought so too at first. The road rule is not about being out of the intersection once the light is red, but the vehicle not crossing the stop line once the light turns red. It’s only if you do this is the fine justified.

Gosh the internal review process for traffic fines is such a crock of shit.
I’m challenging a red light camera fine as I think it was incorrectly issued - my car crossed the stop line when the light was yellow, then it turned red and the cameras went off. You have to cross the stop line after the light has turned red to commit the offence. Wrote a detailed challenge with reasons, my recollection of the situation, referring to the photo evidence you can access etc, all I got back is “we are satisfied the offence was committed”. That’s it. Pay up or go to court.
I’m in this crap position of having only my recollection of the situation to rely on. I can’t prove my car was in the intersection when the light was still yellow outside of pointing to the police photo which shows exactly this. But that wasn’t good enough for the review. It’s a really expensive fine too. Feels like guilty until proven innocent rather than the other way around.
I’ve been much more careful since this fine, the light is yellow I’m stopping. I don’t trust those fixed cameras one bit.

Someone who drove past my place threw half eaten McDonalds all over the road. It was attracting birds and gong to become disgusting in 40c weather tomorrow so I picked it all up. The street is not your trash can assholes.

Back from IKEA, thought Saturday night would be a good time to go to avoid crowds. Surprisingly more people there than I expected but very manageable. I hate crowded stores with a passion.
Had meatballs and this amazing cake for dinner from the restaurant, hit the spot.
Then the shopping began. Needed to collect KK present for next week but then “accidentally” spent an additional $160 on crap for my place.

Motorbike revving noises send me, I’ve got a neighbour that owns three of them. It’s just constant motorbike noises throughout the day- starting, revving, driving past. Sometimes very early. Shut it!

I think I’m going to have my own work Christmas party tonight. Being self-employed shouldn’t mean I miss out, right? The co-working space did a little Christmas lunch thing earlier in the week but it sucked, so my need to be drinking merrily to toast the end of the work year has not been satisfied. I was going to ask some friends to join for company but it’s so last minute.
Nothing too extravagant because I have to foot the bill for this one. A nice burger with a pint of beer somewhere would go down a treat.

It’s horrible, there’s no two ways about it. Happened to me time and time again. I had to change mindset to “hopeful” of getting place X but not get too attached and realise it’s not the only suitable option that will cross your path. Easier said than done.

Today I am especially sleepy and especially cranky.
Have a networking lunch today. Need to turn my grumpy, don’t talk to me attitude to personable and approachable. Not sure it’s gonna happen.

I love that coastal walk, the only part of Sydney that makes me think it would be nice to live there.

Good on him. I cut the soft drinks many years ago when I started looking after my health, they’re full of sugar and empty calories. I never crave soft drink anymore. Turned to diet drinks initially, and then eventually you can cut those as well. The awful artificial chemist taste of most of them gets old quick. These days I go for ice tea if I want a sweet drink.

Now that’s eclectic! I was expecting Chappell in my top 5, but no. I swear I thrashed her album this year.

My Spotify wrapped has been disappointing me over the past few years. I used to have such an eclectic music taste, but getting older I’m listening to what’s familiar to me a bit too much. I don’t like the complacency.
Going to spend the next few weeks saving some new music to listen over the holidays, and listening to albums I’ve saved over the year but never bothered to listen. Currently listening to Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disk, for fans of synth-pop and prog-rock this one is for you.

Meeting over! 2.5 hours later, I’m so exhausted. There was a few times I maybe wasn’t as clear as I could have been when I was put on the spot, and also being hyper concentrated for that long is pretty tough. But overall I think I presented and communicated well. Client seemed happy too so that’s what counts.
I think I deserve a takeaway pizza tonight and a night off any cooking.
