We're not prepared for today's Christmas market!
Fortunately, it's been postponed due to rain, and we are occupied on the alternate date, so now we have another year to prepare!

Queensland State Election today.
Voting comprises of selecting the least worst candidate, not your most preferred.
This is a first world problem.

The additional fly in our soup is that one of the non-major parties was apparently prepolling quite well. While it may be understandable that no one wants to vote for the two major parties, giving this "popular" non-major party the balance of power in parliament is even worse. Like, really - think far, far right. Quote:

Came home today to an empty fridge, so treated myself to lunch out... and paid CHF 70 for two poached eggs.
Okay, cards on the table. It was Verlorenes Ei, served on a bed of barely-wilted spinach in perigord sauce, covered in a veritable avalance of white truffle.
Lawdy, it was delicious - and all things considered, CHF 70 well spent.
FWP: It'll be beans on toast for the rest of the week to recoup my food budget.

I'm buzzing from trying coffee brands at the coffee roastery (last part of my "coffee-project").
It's a REALLY weird feeling |

Already have the cards, I stock up in the UK from time to time. Just have to take the time to do them all.
Actually, never had any takeaway here or in the UK really, at least not ordering for delivery to the door. We pick up fish and chips sometimes on the way home in the UK, but that's it.  Still, maybe a few ready meals would be a good alternative for some days.
It's the working out when we have our main meal at lunchtime and when we have it at dinner. Can't miss my horse racing so Boxing Day is a quick, easy lunch before that starts and trying to get a quick meal between the New Year's Day concert from Vienna and the horse racing can prove a challenge. | |
