Tonight I’m writing a weekly wrap up of 3 highlights from this week plus a whole heap of other stuff
Saturday 27 August 2016
My youngest brother became Mr45
I started the day with avocado on toast
Lunch was a Garlo’s lean beef and mushroom meat pie
Dinner was a plate of beef burgers coated in crumbs made from Panko and fried shallots
Sunday 28 August 2016
I started with a nice walk around Lake Ginninderra
Breakfast was eggs Benedict with salmon
Lunch was another Garlo’s meat pie
Dinner was slowly roasted lamb shoulder
Monday 29 August 2016
A relatively uneventful day at work, busy but not hectic.
Dinner was salmon and prawns coated in crumbs made from panko and fried shallots
Tuesday 30 August 2016
Nothing to report from Work
Bad news
Miss15 broke the fifth metacarpal on her dominant hand while on the balance beam. This means she won’t be competing with Ms19 at the National Club Championships in Bendigo later in September. I am so sad for Miss15. She’s already had a couple of fractured vertebrae last year as well as an injured ankle.
Dinner was baked salmon with avocado on a bed of pearl barley couscous
Wednesday 31 August 2016
Highlight #1
Performance review time. I came away very happy.
Highlight #2
The plumber came and fixed a leak in my en suite hand basin, repaired the taps in my laundry and tightened the taps in my shower. For those querying, yes I could do this myself but all my tools are still in storage and as a renter I shouldn’t be doing my own running repairs.
Dinner was chicken Maryland with macaroni and Brussels sprouts
Thursday 1 September 2016
It wasn’t pay day so it wasn’t an exciting Thursday. I did have a good meeting though at Russel Offices.
Dinner was a piece of chicken Maryland on a bed of crispy crunchy ‘instant’ noodles with Brussels sprouts.
Friday 2 September 2016
Hospital day!
Highlight #3
I received a gift from a workmate who had just passed her Part I examinations for her Fellowship of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia. She bought me a first edition of the American Society for Microbiology’s Manual of Clinical Microbiology. I have every edition of the Manual but the first which was published in 1970. This made my day. I was so happy. In fact, this made my week.
Dinner was leftover lamb shoulder with red quinoa and brown rice done fried rice style except rather than soy sauce I used Worcestershire sauce for an English touch.
Saturday 3 September 2016
It was raining cats and dogs so no walking today.
Lunch was a Garlo’s sausage roll and beef and mushroom hot pie
Dinner was Coles Australian pork slowly cooked pork ribs
Final words
How was your week?
Let me know in the comments below.
I’m so very sorry to hear of miss 15’s fracture, I’m sure she is unhappy not to be able to participate in the competition. I worry about our granddaughter as she competes in cheerleading and is the “flyer”…the one who is always on the very top of a pile of young girls.
Thanks Karen. My youngest two love gymnastics. Each has had fractured vertebrae and other bones broken, ligaments stretched and concussion. I worry about them but they love what they do.
I hope your granddaughter remains injury free.
We had a great week here – though no spring flowers for us. It’s all fall flowers now!
I look forward to seeing the changes in your daily walks 😃
Love the video format, Gary. Sorry to hear about your daughter’s fracture, ouch. Lake Ginninderra is a great place for walking… and those blossoms, sigh. If only the warmer weather would come.
Thanks Liz, at least I will get to see both Miss15 and Ms19 in Bendigo in a couple of weeks. Ms19 will be competing and Miss15 will be there to support the team.
I really hope it warms up soon, it will be mopre conducive to me managing my weight gain over winter.
Sending healing thoughts toward Miss15 way. Get well soon.
Thank you very much brother
Ooh we saw cherry blossoms this weekend. I was so excited as that and jasmine are a sign spring is here! Sounds like you had a fun weekend eating Gary!
Thanks Lorraine. I saw your photogarphs on Instagram. They look even better today 😃
I love the weekly wrap-up format. And that photo of the spring blossom – how good are they at the moment?! I’m sorry for Miss15 and her broken bone. My son broke his wrist last school term. It’s hard for them when they can’t do what they love to do.
Thanks Alex, Miss15 is very resilient. I think I feel more unhappy than she does. She rolls with it.
