Made a bulk of pizza dough.
These five in the freezer, and two more (for tonight).
Haven't done this prep in a very long time, and it felt good. #pizza

Might be bearable enough to sleep.
Anyway, blanket is on, going to give it a crack.

A cop-out dinner, at the end of what was a 40-ish°C day? Maybe. But cannot beat good ol' cold cuts on a day like this.
Not to mention that it allows me to use the new cheese board that I got as a Christmas gift.

Cold cuts and cheese tonight.
In fact, it's a good opportunity for me to use the new cheese board I got as a Christmas present.

Really cool #SecretSanta gift I got from one of my co-workers at my main job today. Fittingly, I had actually been looking at each of these with interest in the shops literally a week ago!
Can use them right away, too, especially the book stand.

When packing up the old place to move to the new house is reaching the pointy end of the process. IYKYK.
Over 100 boxes moved into the new place so far in the last week, and we just keep going with it. #ShitsGettingReal

The ongoing perils of my early work starts (and long commutes to enable them)... "Has #FattoCatto been fed?" remains the eternal question posed by Jen.

My gastronomic extended weekend to mark celebrations around my 60th birthday began earlier this evening, a few hours ago.
Thank you, Sporting Globe at Watergardens. Calamari was nice, and your MVP Parma was as amazing as ever. Great way to spend my annual birthday voucher.

It's here!! Arrived this morning. Going to get stuck into this on my VLine commute into Southern Cross from Geelong, and so far, it is a ripping read.
Congratulations, @ronnisalt.bsky.social -- next up, bring on the movie deal!

Not to gloat (well, maybe a little), but a cool change has hit us here in Geelong and on the Surf Coast within the last hour or two.
This cool change won't last much more than the next 12 hours or so, but it does make this evening a bit more bearable in the middle of a Victorian heatwave.

My Christmas haul for 2024. Delayed by a few days as I've been laid up with a nasty head and chest cold after Christmas, and been recuperating while cashing in my gift cards post-Boxing Day.

At home, while my other half is still in hospital (awaiting her rounds for an MRI and EEG), it means I can make my own dinner without objections! 😃
So it's a poached honey mustard chicken with mushrooms, pasta, and various mixed veggies. Going to be tasty!! #DinnerForOne #JenDoesntEatHerVeggies

Any Holiday season means catering for parties, and I did a good one today, at a school in Melbourne's outer western suburbs.
Definitely in the spirit, all of us!

And the evidence of yesterday's #Thanksgiving lunch...
A turkey coma was achieved by late afternoon, and no, #FattoCatto did not get any Turkey Lurkey. 🦃

Me and my new glasses, wearing multifocals as prescribed. (Notice I didn't say "proudly wearing".)
Great service from Dresden Vision. Highly recommend.

Happening every Friday night in #Archers through the month of October. Great two-person bargain, and includes pairing single-malt tasting whiskys.

I suppose if it's "buses replacing trains" from Southern Cross Station, might as well catch it from this coach bay right here...
