Humdrum

I have to admit straight up that not a lot has happened recently. We've settled into the house enough that I can generally find whatever I'm looking for on the second or third go at most. I can give directions to my house (although they're generally along the lines of "follow the signs to the Holder shops, we're in number 14"). And I can remember most people's names without having to check their name badges (although this doesn't hold so well with people outside of work, which is unfortunate, as they tend not to wear name badges).

Work... well, work continues. I've successfully created two screens (computer programs) for internal use (ie only people in my team use them). I've also read a fair bit of Dr Karl's Great Moments in Science column in the copious amounts of free time that I have. I know the best place to get curry for lunch (butter chicken from Chalisa at the Hyperdome). And I've successfully caught the bus home from work twice (and subsequently found someone who is willing to drive me instead).

I paid off my credit card in full, but then Dale and I went and did some food shopping. We ended up spending $350 on grocery items alone. Fruit and veg and meat brought the total closer to $500. The result:


Yes, the bottom three shelves are filled entirely with fresh fruit and vegetables, and the freezer is completely lacking in party pies, sausage rolls or frozen pizza. I don't even think there's any ice cream in there.

Don't worry though - we are leading a balanced lifestyle:
