Title: How was your day?
Post by: Ulrich on December 21, 2013, 13:44:09
Inspired by an "interesting" post on this forum, I'd like to know how everyone's day was?
Please let us take part, when did you get up, how was work, what did you eat etc.! All the stuff you'd normally share on FB or wherever, put it in here!  ;)

My day was okay so far, had breakfast & lunch, received a phone call & sent out some Xmas cards.

Woke up 08:30 AM to get ready for the train, as the wife and me are heading to the other side of the country to spend christmas with her family. I am writing from the train in this very moment (now I just remember Robert saying 'this is a song about when I used to wear a dress and travel on a train). Trip is about 6 hours long and I am a bit tired.

Will send some postcards on Monday, I guess they will arrive next year already.

Have a great holiday everyone!

Thanks for sharing!  :smth023

If you want more fun on the train ride, ask your wife if you can wear one of her dresses...  :lol:

It was OK so far. I was wondering whether it would become "interesting" enough to prepare some popcorn, but I guess it's too late for that now...  ;)

Happy Holidays to everyone!  :)

Sad to hear you didn't have any opinion on the topic yourself to post in there. :(

Happy Xmas anyway.

My day was very good so far... got up quite late... had coffee & toast, read the paper.
Went online, found about Robert interview! Listened to it when the link was on! What a joy that was, to finally hear Robert's voice again.  :)
Bit of work to do for rest of the day, but nothing too demanding.

One year ago today I graduated from University and remembering that day makes me feel many different emotions: happiness and satisfaction of course, but I know that I was also full of fear and anxiety...Mixed feelings typical of young people facing major life changes. It wasn't very easy for me, I was scared about my future because I didn't know what was next. So, yeah, today I was feeling a bit emotional and I even made a bad mistake at work which made me quite nervous to be honest  :roll:  I still have so many things to learn, but I am determined to improve myself and grow as a person. Sorry for sharing my "existential crisis"  :-D

Hey, you've done the hard part! You've graduated, you're sitting with a degree and you have all the time in the world to choose how you want to use it, so fear not :) The fact that you're nervous about the future means you care enough to make it work for you, so personally I think that's a good thing. Just enjoy work (and all this mistakes you make) for the time being, I recall you saying somewhere that it's a new job you have, the perfect place for you to improve and grow.

Thank you for the support my dear!  :) Yeah, it's a new job but also my first ever job  :D I've never worked before, only studied, so it's a very challenging experience for me! However, I am putting in so much effort, especially because I am not officially employed yet and I want to be hired ;) We'll see! Whatever happens, I consider it as an opportunity to learn something new

Yesterday something very similar happened to me too, a friend of mine showed up after months of not giving a damn about me, asking for favors. The favor was: my cousin sucks at English, do her homework for free. I did it for her in the past, but not this time, I got very angry and blocked her on Whatsapp. I feel like I've been used, for the last 6 months she's been asking for homework answers without even saying "please", "thank you", "by the way, how are you doing?". And of course showing up only for money is even worse...It is the worst! Sometimes being too nice does not pay off, this is what I think  :roll:

Lord, I hate when that happens to folk. I don't get people. If you want something done, do it yourself! or at least have the decency to ask nicely. Good riddance to them SG.

I have a certain disposition that makes people too scared to ask me for things, crafted over many years  :twisted: Unless, I class you as a real friend, then by all means, ask away  :-D

It's been one of those days. I'm home sick and also feeling sick, I've been suffering for days now. I just want to go home and sleep in my own bed. I need to be alone in my own room, surrounded by my own things and my own thoughts.

I've been out in the woods for too long now...

Yeah, you missed a few comments here Ulrich. Thank you, but certain enjoyment has a shelf life, however, I'm enjoying being able to read and write more which is settling.

I'm home on Thursday David so two days left.

I have the deluxe edition of Faith playing in my ears which is a comfort.

It's funny you should say that, @Ulrich, because I had an email from a 75-year-old lady in Sweden today who told me that after thinking they weren't going to have a real winter, suddenly they have tonnes of snow!  This lady also happened to have written some fabulous children's books in the 1970s and she was my Shakespeare when I was in primary school.  I read her books to tatters.  I still read them sometimes - she wrote a long series, which was translated into German.  And she's been sending me Christmas cards for the last five years or so, which if you went and told my younger self that it was going to happen, I would never have believed.  But there you go.

I notice the voting for this has closed.  I would have voted "great" despite the fact that it was humid and horrible again with thunderstorms brewing but not actually making lightning and rain (yet?) and despite the fact that I spent a lot of it scrubbing the house before the long weekend.  I actually felt like scrubbing the floor, and this is such a rare phenomenon that I decided to exploit it to the full.  The floor now sparkles, and smells of natural lavender oil (used in hot water to mop instead of cleaning products).

Three lovely guests arrived for the weekend and I made Spaghetti Marinara for all of us.  We had apple/blueberry strudel with custard and cream for afters.  It's the start of apple harvest for us so I'm planning on making another strudel tomorrow, since it uses up 1.5 kg of apples in one hit.  We've got a Granny Smith apple tree and a Sundowner yielding like mad this year, and a small Cox' Orange Pippin, and two little espaliered trees - a Lady Williams and a Jonathan.

We also have a pear tree yielding for the first time and it's festooned with pears!  Tomorrow night, one of our guests is making us a traditional Chinese dessert that involves pears, ginger and rice, which is apparently a really festive dish, so I'm looking forward to that.

After dinner, we had a walk in the bushland to stargaze, and everyone oohed and aahed over the clarity of the Milky Way in our remote location, and the fact that you can't hear any engines at night (very occasionally you can hear a distant train if the wind comes from a particular direction).  We did hear a lot of crickets!  When we got back to the house, there was a motorbike frog trying to get into the front guest room through the French door, which has an insect curtain that these frogs have been trying to slip under!  He was a cute one, and had his picture taken by the guests, but I don't think anyone kissed him. :yum:  So I suppose we will never know now if he was really a prince.  :angel

Spot the frog:

These guys change colour to camouflage themselves.  They're green and gold amongst foliage, but look what happens when they sneak into your greenhouse:

Got a fan for keeping the air circulating in your bedroom?

A little eco-tip that's also kind to your skin:  If you're sweating into your sheets, it's often enough to just put them on a rinse cycle with a good shake of (real) lavender oil - that way you don't have detergent residues, and the sheets smell wonderful - and you're only using half the water, and no unnecessary detergent - plus your sheets are on the line in around 15 minutes.  Detergents are really only necessary if your fabrics are greasy and/or dirty/stained, or you're ill with some contagious pathogen.  So, they're often unnecessary for washing your sheets or your bath towels.   :)

My day was great - the house got really clean thanks to my finding a burst of energy, and meanwhile the machinery wizards were doing a fabulous job draining the "swamp" that's been between the house and what remained of the old driveway.  They enlarged our hand-dug drainage pond (which I can now plant out with reeds all around to make more frog habitat) and installed an overflow pipe hooked up directly to the main drain they made alongside where they're going to make the built-up driveway next day.  The drain looks the part, unlike the previous one put in ten years ago, and doesn't just funnel the water into the crossover to make a lake there which you have to slosh through opening the front gate... and they've brought in limestone as a foundation for the previously sandy crossover, and for the missing section where ten years ago the previous contractors ran out of material.

Because they've scraped away the topsoil layer where they're going to build up the roadway, and therefore had piles and piles of this stuff they needed to get rid of, they are not only solving our driveway issue, but our paddock gateway erosion problems that got bad over the last three years of drought...horses and cattle congregate near gateways, which destroys the turf there, exposing the sandy soil below, which then gets blown away by the ferocious winds here, leaving deep holes that expose fenceposts and fill with water in the winter.  Well, guess where they put all the excess and very muddy topsoil?  In the hollows that had been blown out near the gateways.  Because it's not just pure sand, it won't blow away as easily - and we're topping it with gravel and / or woodchips.   :smth023

It would have taken me 20 years to do that with a wheelbarrow.   :1f635:

In a lovely little twist, the contractor's son, whom I didn't meet until the first workday today, turned out to be someone who was in my English class 15 years ago.   :cool   I didn't recognise him - boys change so much - but he recognised me.  I had to double take when he told me who he was, because at 15 he was blonde and shaggy and impish and shorter than me and a little tubby, and now he's long and lean and towering, with a shaved head and a ZZ Top beard featuring a dark main beard and a blonde moustache!  :lol:  My brain started doing excavations and I remembered some of the books he'd read and reviewed for class, and also his music presentation, on Metallica!  He's got a couple of littlies now and plays them guitar and they dance.   :happy

And my friend Eileen arrived late in the afternoon in the middle of my trying to make a bonfire that ultimately failed.  Conditions aren't right and I would have needed serious amounts of accelerant to make this one go.  Now all we've got to show for it is a semi-burnt giant crow's nest, which we'll have to shove over and compact and try to burn closer to summer.  But - there's a hollow beneath it and it would have been nice if it had burnt, and we could have heaped excess topsoil into the hollow next day... so I was wearing full fire regalia with yellow protective jacket and helmet and goggles and gloves when my friend got here, because I'm really nervous working with liquid accelerants - I've seen too many burns from accidents.  And then the bonfire flopped, bwahahahaha.  :lol:

Well I was sitting here with not much to do, planning to go out, but something made me stay... and then I read it: a live stream was announced by The Damned on FB, that was only minutes away when I saw it, so of course I tuned in.

An empty stage with five chairs on it. Some guy announced Don Letts, who took one chair. He then announced the original four members of the band to sit down with him and answer questions from the journalists present. (All within distance etc.)

I'd heard rumours already about the original line-up getting back together. Indeed this is happening. Hopefully in July 2021 live shows will be back to "normal" a bit, because they're planning one last tour.

Being there "live" when the press conference happened, of course "made my day".  :cool

(Well it's only mid-day, but I think it'll be positive.)

I know this was last month, but I just wanted you to know how much that description made Brett laugh in sympathy.  One of the funniest things I've ever seen is him miming bashing his own head in exasperation while being ultra-polite to a client on the telephone!  :lol:

Snow, snow, snow... my day was filled with snow, it just didn't stop snowing (+wind)... I went out to move snow away several times, an hour later it looked just the same: white.  :unamused:

After a rather stressful day yesterday (work to be done + driveway to be cleared of snow), today was rather successful, the snow in the morning was very light to shovel and work went well (even a bit faster than planned).  :cool

Australian Open.  The only sporting event I watch solidly every year.  Total tennis coma!  :1f635:  Another 5-setter yesterday, with a young local favourite who's been plagued by injuries for years, taking it to a current Top Ten player and only just running out of steam at the end.  If I was a nail biter, I'd not have any fingernails left.  So much excellent tennis on at the moment, with lots of Australian talent too - and sitting inactive for such long long periods can leave one feeling like one is at the bottom of the ocean in a deep-dive capsule, at the end of the day...  :1f635:

But it's only a fortnight like this.  Thank goodness I don't like to watch any other sporting events.  We do switch on the Tour de France mid-year but purely for background - for the landscape, not the cyclists, who're probably all doped up with illegal substances anyway - I've not enjoyed watching them since Lance Armstrong set a record for cheating way back when - with the exception of when Cadel Evans was in it.

My day (so far) has been tiring... my legs feel as if I walked 10 miles yesterday... tired... (blame it on vaccination).
Edit: after a nap, I took a walk, when I got home I was tired again -> another nap! :1f634:
