  1. Booked a holiday - first one for five years, and so need the break
  2. Decided to upgrade my Kindle, which is 8 years old I discovered - but Amazon will still give me a trade-in against a new one (because they know how addictive the things are!)
  3. We were given some little cakes by a friend who visited, and they’re delicious

  1. For Independence Day of Ukraine, the Defense of Ukraine twitter account has released a series of short videos each thanking a country that has supported Ukraine. They’re all good and I love the Australian one.

  1. Our neighbours have put a bird bath on their back fence. We have one in the garden of course, but it’s lovely to see them doing it too.
  2. After years of being too scared to look at my superannuation balance and expected retirement payouts, I saw from my latest statement that it’ll actually be okay.
  3. SGQ: I did some work today even though it’s Sunday, because there was something I needed to focus on for hours and there’s always distractions during the week. I got it to a good point, and I even dealt with an unexpected weekend distraction from one of our servers having a failed disk.

  2. Listening to my massive Thea Gilmore playlist for a bit of tempo while I work.
  3. My dad’s texting me pictures of his work on the wooden giraffe which got damaged. Here’s his latest update (I think he’s currently trying water and steam to help the wood swell a little to soften the dent).
