Two hours, 249 steps, two beers, and a 27.3cm scaled up Santa mini figure appears.

🍺 Currently 33°c. Too hot to be out and about so I think I’ll have a beer, sit in the shade where I get some breeze, and build my Christmas Lego.

🎶 Mahler’s Symphony No.9 in D by the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.

Friday night done right.

I love Star Trek and TNG is my favourite series. I also love Lego.

I was very excited to see there was an Enterprise NCC-1701-D Lego set being released and thought it might be my Christmas present to myself.

It was released in Australia today and it’s $600 AUD! 😭🖖🏻

Team planning morning and they have a habit of getting way down into the micro detail. I’ve told them they need to stay big picture and I’ll be ringing the bell if they don’t.

A bell sitting on an open notepad with a red pen laying in front of it. The bell has a black handle and a yellow base with “Ring for a hug” on it.

I really need adult supervision when I go to the comics and collectibles shop at Chermside. I had none today and the Doctor Who collection just increased.

I’m happy though so pfft to supervision.

#DoctorWho

A rectangular box with a clear plastic window showing three silver cybermen and a cybermat inside it. The box has the BBC Doctor Who logo in the top left corner. Along the bottom is “The Fourth Doctor” and “Revenge of the Cybermen (1975) Collector Figure Set”. The bottom right corner has a gold “Limited Edition” and on the right hand side it indicates 5.5”/14cm scale.

Team Christmas lunch then the Hijinx hotel to play mini golf and do the escape rooms.

Our team names were “Whatever” and “I don’t mind”, which is not reflective of the fun afternoon we had but typical of a team full of introverts.

Email from Virgin Australia about updated rules for batteries on flights as of 1 December.

No lithium batteries in checked luggage yet lots of people, myself included, put an AirTag in their bag these days.

Mozilla using lots of words to pretend to be here to save us from AI as justification for jamming even more AI into their products.

“And if you are, well, anyone, it’s probably apps and services that become more useful and delightful as they add AI”.

Useful? Maybe. Delightful? Absolutely not.

🍺 Mid-afternoon schooner at the local. Nine day fortnights are pretty good.
