Broke out the little spotter spray gun for the first time since a fiddly overhaul to stop it weeping past the needle packing, and first actual spraying for probably 18 months. Went decently enough.

It’s funny when you’re faced with doing something that used to be second nature but has barely been touched for years; you get overly nervous about everything going as planned.

Gave my mum a set of wireless headphones today. A little while back she dicovered spotify. More recently she discovered podcast. I dont understand podcasts.
So anyhows, she is happy with that.
At dinner, so my kid, her and myself, technically its her week to pay. She likes to say what people order. My kid tapped me on the leg and i gave him the nod. So yeah, i paid, but i got what i wanted, my kid got what he wanted, mum got what she said, but i guarentee if it was my week to pay she wouldnt have cheaped out.
Man the chefs special is good at that place. So its not the special as in cheap, its what the chef is good at. The chef is thia and his special, cannot pronounce it, but its marinated pork skewers with pancakes and a hectic dipping sauce. With a side salad. Its pretty good.

You made me remember a dish the irish blokes i used to work with made. Sounds odd but works, so bake potatoes, skin on. Cook the normal bolognase like you would for spaghetti. But no spaghetti. So spuds done cut in half, guts scraped out and thrown into the meat sauce then the spud shell is filled. Very much one of those things where if it was on a menu you'd brush past it, but if you try it you go, hmmm, its pretty good.
Not all the time, but on the odd occasion eating out order what looks the most odd on the menu. Yeah thats a hit and miss thing to do, but you do hit odd gold. Like for example the gravy and mash potato pizza my local italian place does. On paper it sounds horrid. But it works so well.

A big dollop of sour cream goes well on that!

Pair of kookaburras in the couple of gum trees near my place having a good chuckle at something. I could have done without it at 6 am tho.

A very pleasant sound to hear in suburbia.

Maybe a sprinkle or two, but not much forecast over the next couple of days. I hope they're right, we could do with a dry patch.

Went for a walk today.

So?
3 weeks post-op Total knee replacement to correct bone disease in my right leg.
1700 steps without any assistance, I feel quite sore but I'm happy.


Well ahead with where I should be, 105 degrees total knee movement aiming for 120 degrees @ 6 weeks.


Now to finish doing my exercises then maybe a nanny-nap.

Got to spend the day with my daughter yesterday. Got all my jobs out of the way on Saturday to make room. After she made me breakfast, we decided to go for a walk along the beach. It was pretty cool but enjoyable none the less. Happy to just spend time with her.



Was good for her, too as she has a busy week this week with two year 11 SACs, a year 12 SAC and the year 12 GAT. She gets stressed easily and was in a tizz on Friday, so I think the quiet day and the fresh air did wonders.

Headed through the running creek (right of picture) and onto the beach where very few people go.

A great way to spend Father's Day.
