10:36pm: Still kind of felt like my birthday because after archery this morning I went over to my parents place for our weekly lunch and my little bro was there too! I also purchased one of the Coles small mudcakes which proved to be very yummy indeed! Especially with the ice cream and strawberries Mum provided.

It was good to see the little bro, even though he is having trouble at his new place of employment, it's a small business and it seems he has two bosses so to speak, which makes it rather difficult if they give different instructions. Hopefully, it'll work out for him.

In other news, today's weather was pretty much a 180 from yesterday - cloudy, rainy and rather cool, although not that cool, I almost wore a long sleeve shirt, but at the last moment decided to put on a regular t-shirt, which proved to be a good idea since it was still like 24 degrees.

Today was another urban field shot, which is where the targets are set up in such a way that you have to shoot in very odd places, like in a bush, or up a step ladder or with one foot up on target that's lying down. It's rather fun, although I was doing the "easiest" peg - yellow and apparently because of my age I really should be doing blue or even red. However, I'm nowhere near as good as people in my age group typically are, I have shot the yellow peg before - but alas I could not beat my PB. I was also in a group with young kids and one of them beat me LOL. I did though get a very impressive 6 (the field archery equivalent of a 10) shooting in the bushes with tree branches blocking my sight. I took a photo, I should post that, although of course it was more a fluke then good aim.

After the field shoot, there was a Working Bee, which I did try to participate in, but since I was having lunch with the parentals I had to leave before the work really started going. Which I felt a bit bad about, so after the lunch with like two-thirds of the cake I headed back. They must have worked fast though because when I got there almost everyone had left! But the remaining people were happy to have some cake, because who wouldn't be :OP Also by this point the predicted showers were heading in so I headed off home to watch Dr Gluon on YouTube.

I figured I was done for the day, but an hour or so later Mum rang and asked me to take my long phone charger cable to Grandpa in the hospital. I had given Mum the phone cable yesterday to take to Grandpa, but he didn't think he needed it, but alas he did. So I headed out in my car and fortunately got a parking space in the side street near the hospital (because as I've mentioned they charge through the nose!), although by this point it was raining. I managed not to get wet and delivered the cable to Grandpa in good time. He's currently recovering in a shared room, but he was in good spirits. There was a lady in another room who Grandpa's pretty sure has dementia because she was yelling for the nurses to come, but then seemed to tell them off when they arrived. Poor lady.

Finally, in laptop related news, everything is running so much better now, including The Sims 4 and I'm now officially onto the Carrot Gen in the Very Veggie Legacy Challenge. Julien has moved to Chestnut Ridge (I finally remembered it's name!) and has his first horse, a little colt called Mayo Neighs (Dr Gluon had a horse with the same name and I couldn't resist). Him being a colt does mean Julien can't ride him yet, but hey I can work on it's temperament. Julien does need to earn money though - he did have some, but I had to get him a shower and the lot did already have some horse stuff on it. However, he's roughing it at the moment with just a sleeping bag and campfire.

Right, it's after 11 now, so I better go, I didn't get enough sleep last night, and I want to make sure I get the proper amount of zzzs.

Ta-ta!
