I was going to do the five famous people meme, which I saw on [personal profile] pensnest's journal, but I only really have two 'biggies': Chris Pine and Jason Momoa. One at the Sydney premiere of the Star Trek movie (AOS) and the other while working the collectors' tables at an SGA fannish event in Melbourne back in the 00s.

I have bought Amazon Prime (for a month) and Kindle Unlimited (for three months at half-price) and I am contemplating buying Netflix for a couple of months to watch 'The Bridgertons'.

I blame the bluray player with recording features which I bought for B1 for Christmas. (I also bought B2 a bluray player with various similar, but lesser, features.) I plan to watch through The Hobbit at some stage. Exactly when? Don't know.

Today, someone is coming by to pick up some metal fencing that we have which has been sitting around for forever and a day. HUZZAH!

There's also garden planning to be done for the city garden trail that's taking place in late February and mid-March. Same one as last year but two weekends: one in-person, one virtual. I need to sort out what I'm going to plant for displaying and eating and what other tasks need to be done and when.

I also have to get the water tank connected up.

Don't know what, if anything, is happening New Year's Eve. In previous years, friends from church would do the big NYE party, but obviously this year it's unwise. I think smaller parties may be taking place at various houses across the city - I think one sister may go down to spend NYE with cousins in Cronulla, and the other may go to a friend's place in Meadowbank.

Sydney is still trying to find the 'missing links' to about 7 cases which have no known point of origin, and until we find them, regular celebrations are not going to go forward. I know a mere 7 cases is not big for other countries (and technically it's not big here) but those missing links could be anywhere and the potential for it all getting out of control is huge.

Thing is, we won't know how big and bad it is until next week and beyond.

Today is 'trying to write' day. We'll see how that goes.
