I got up way too early today. I think I'll take Mr Woof for an early walk, we can watch the sunrise on the way home. 🐕 🌅

Update: the walk was lovely, but the sunrise was a bit incipid. Now I am back home listening to the lovely crashing sounds of the house over the road being demolished. The soundtrack of urban renewal.

Just finished booking all of the hotels for the US trip. Thanks to my parents' history of being degenerate gamblers, mum has talked the hotels in Vegas and Laughlin into comping my rooms so it looks like my total accommodation cost for this trip will be about $1500. Not too bad 🙃

Where would I start a LOTR marathon from if I wanted to skip forward to a more action packed point and skip some of the world building

Back in melbs after much driving yesterday and today. I've grown to really like long country drives. After a very long resistance to listening to podcasts in the car I think I'm converted. Just starting with Radio National for now.

I also inexplicably have developed angular cheilitis (corners of mouth are cracked and sore) over the last few days and now I've got a pair of mouth ulcers on the top and bottom lip near them as well. Not fun.

But overall, a fantastic few days off.

What a day! Hand stretched around 200+ pizza bases and hand peeled 60kg of potatoes. Bought avocado on the way home because guacamole is Miss Peeler's latest food obsession. She and I made said guacamole when I got home. Took some time to admire my young Mr Peeler's new avatar on WWE 2K22 and observe his wrestling game. Did a load of washing (just remembered I haven't hung it up yet. D'oh!) Cooked dinner, did my exercises (day 3) cleaned the bathroom a bit and helped Mr Peeler (Luddite) with phone tech issues. Now I am laying in bed just blobbing out. But I must hang the damn washing. Bugger!

Everyday is a winding roadddd~🎶

Edit: sorry about to head down a windy road and I thought of this

holy CRAP anyone else just had google sheets completely shit itself? Cross-sheet importrange queries have just bottomed out, checked and no other mofo has touched them (not that they can anyway) and restoring to yesterday briefly worked, then shat out again.

EDIT: For anyone so inclined, the issue is with the Col references. Replace them with the lettering (Eg: Col1 becomes A, Col5 becomes E) resolves the issue. But if you're not so inclined, fuck'em

Mrs thinks the TV is dying. It keeps playing sound even if its off, sometimes when you turn it on it doesnt wake the soundbar, lots of weird little shit like that. We got it just as covid got serious so its what, 3 years old? and whilst I've never loved the "smart" side of things (Hisense proprietary OS, not android or WebOS) its an OLED so the picture is second to none. We have a real strange love/hate thing going on.

You should be able to get it looked at and fixed/replaced for nothing, 3 years is not long under consumer law, i got my Samsung panel replaced after a longer period than that
