Dinner with the co founders and Fred from Coorp - at Honto, hidden behind the Wickham. Most didn't want the oysters, so Vu, Prags and myself ate most of them.

Took the boys to Andy's Adventures at the powerhouse. AJ said he felt sick - but we think he was worried about having to dance.

Kai's 3rd birthday - took him for cake after gym at Cake and Bake, and he picked a chocolate slice. Tim and I had an ice/water fight that escalated - leading to Tim knocking the eater out of my hand and into Laughy.

Presentation to Jared on the MyGo1 research - didn't feel great, ranted top much - but Jon was highly complementary. Stomach was awful - had a really painful poo after lunch. Came home, didn't eat dinner and rested.

Australia Day - mum came over with Timothy. I had a go at her around accusing me about not doing the work in her backyard she wanted the week after she got covid.

Racing online for the first time with Nathan - couldn't get the server to work, was getting random UDP errors.

Tuesday 24th January, 2023

Saw Dan in the office - talked to him about sim racing, showed him my shifter, and added him to steam. Struggled to add Tom as well.

AJs first day of year 1 - it was really sweaty pushing AJ and the books up the hill. I bumped into Diego on the way out - he nearly misssd me.

Lunar New year - went to Ba Ngoi's and played switch with the boys. Enzo and I chilled on the couch while the others swam

Saturday 21st January, 2023

Took the leftover wood and plaster from the wall construction to the tip in dad's Prado - before dripping it off with Tiz. The boys didn't really want to hug her or say hello, and just played - I felt bad they ignored her.

Friday 20th January, 2023

Stopped at KG to get sandwich ingredients and chips for dinner - as Nina and the boys were around. I left the chicken on the scale at the self checkout, and had to run back.

Thursday 19th January, 2023

Met Shaun sitting outside Mr Percivals in a t-shirt. Had to dodge the security guard who was putting up an umbrella. Bec showed us the dream house she wants to build - with the cuved 70s look.

Woke up with a horrible sore ankle after my soccer injury. I tried to kneel to change Kai's nappy but it hurt too much - so I called in Julie, who begrudgingly did it.

Tuesday 17th January, 2023

Are cereal for dinner at the office at the breakfast bar - before soccer. Landed poorly on my ankle while jumping to oick the ball. Came home to ice it, and argued with Julie about her work hours - after she told me they want her doing less hours over 3 days, rather than 2 one week, 3 the next.

Monday 16th January, 2023

Made a pasta bake - Julie left a box of pasta that was half used. I didn't think it would be enough and messaged her as she walked to Aldi while I cooked.

Sunday 15th January, 2023

Ran further up towards The Gap from our KG home than I had ever done before. Bumped into Anna S from Icon walking some dogs, catching up on our journeys since leaving.

Hosted EOWC with Tim - he scripted the whole thing using ChatGPT.

Signed the payment stat dec for the builder at Brookside, got KFC on the way home. Ran along the creek - saw an owl next to the path, who flew up onto a branch as I ran past.

Wednesday 11th January, 2023

Cut an icy pole up for the boys and did some weirghts on the balcony. Helped AJ set himself up to lift (only just) the 10kg dumbbell - he first tried the 20kg and failed. Found Kai sleeping on the floor just before writing this.

Tuesday 10th January, 2022

Dropped my Pixel 6 pro while helping Faye into the office - notice the screen was mostly dead. It came back as I went to the shop to get a quote on repairing the screen that was astronomical ($459!)

Monday 9th January, 2023

Tried to get my sunglasses out of my car using the spare key - battery was dead. Drove to work for the first day of work in the Prado, to find an empty office. Drove home early to make a stir fry dinner, tipped most of the bottle of sesame oil into the sauce my accident - not realising the bottle had a wide neck.

Sunday 8th January, 2023

Made pancakes with Kai, gave the boys jam and creme fraiche - which they didn't seem overly excited by. Played the Bluey Scavenger Hunt game with the kids - Kai was a pain knocking things over and throwing the dice off the table. He pulled a card to dance, so we played Baby Shark and he danced around the living room. Was told Nina is now COVID positive - will wait to see if I am too after I helped her move the bed yesterday.

Watched a guy break up with his girlfriend our the front of an aptly named burger joint as we drove to pickup the bed frame for Nina and Alan. VR Motorsports with the guys - felt really sick after the drifting session.

Friday 6th January, 2022

Dinner at Dusan and Anna's. Watched Kai topple onto his bum after falling off a skate board. Dusan made me shot rice wine, after eating spanicopita with milk.

Borrowed Dada jet ski for the first time, and took AJ out on a jet ski for the first time. Had to ask if they had a kids life jacket in stock at Anaconda, they went out back and found one on social for $20.

Took the boys to the Ferny Grove Aqua Park, parked behind a 4x4 in the parallel parking spot, half hanging out. Took the boys to Chermside to spend our voucher - they chose a fire and police station for cars.

Cut the shelf for the study - loaded the car for the top before forgetting it's not open. Dusted th guitar off - gave it to AJ to play around Went to a tree near Newstead House to read my memory palace for 2022 - filmed a caterpillar shuffle across the table. Walked back to see the bright red GT4RS in the Porsche showroom.

Failed at making hash browns, too much egg - tried to oven them and tuned them into blobs of undercooked potato. Took the Williamson's to our land, then onto walkabout creek. I times the kids running around the bike track. Enzo cried when he lost, and Kai had a tantrum when Julie overtook him

Beers with Theresa, Adam, Duncan, and the Blackett family - ended up at a park. Kai stood on a boat and said "Hello Mateys". Later he fell down the netting, but another dad caught him. Nina, Alan, Evan, Enzo, and Ba Ngoi came around for new years. Ba Ngoi said I looked young with my shaved head. We proceeded to play Throw Throw Burrito for the first time - before standing on the balcony to catch a glimpse of the fireworks. Crossed arms and hummed Lang's Syne as Al sung.
