Peter W @peterw@aus.social

The @aussocialadmin suggested I write an #introduction post so why not he says.

I'm Peter from #Brisbane where The Cat runs the household. A pretty wide range of interests and always keen to learn new stuff.

A life long #doctorwho fan, I love most things #scifi but firmly in the #startrek camp when it comes to Star Trek Vs Star Wars.

Probably have too many subscriptions to streaming channels but have a goal of a minimum 26 books a year to make sure I'm not always staring at a screen.

Other things I find interesting are a good #podcast #food #sustainability #film #wine (love a good pinot noir), hunting down a great gin and cocktail, and '80s music.

I tell people the main reason I go to work is so I can go on holidays as I love to #travel

Tempting, very tempting, to go see a traditional #ChristmasMovie with a live orchestra performing the soundtrack. #LoveActually #HatersGonnaHate

Lovely afternoon and dinner catching up with best friends from high school. The ‘80s seems so long ago but at the same time just yesterday when we’re together.

Sequels are a thing, even for old songs like It’s Raining Men. Get your umbrellas fellas. https://youtu.be/8ny33H8BQTU

Went for a little wander down to the riverside to take a look at Jupiter. So bright. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-26/jupiter-brightest-biggest-opposition-how-to-see-it-in-australia-/101473162

The ABC sent 27 staff to cover the death of the Queen and they’re just running the BBC feed for the funeral. What are the 27 staff doing today, the culmination and biggest event of the 10 days. Headed home presumably if they’re not working.

Made pizza for lunch. That means I can have a glass of wine as well. I don’t make the rules.

“Compared with dairy production, synthetic milk is likely to have a smaller carbon footprint and cause less pollution, and obviously eliminates animal welfare concerns, she says.” https://www.theguardian.com/food/2022/sep/18/leading-the-whey-the-synthetic-milk-startups-shaking-up-the-dairy-industry

Using Focus, I’ve set up my iPhone to change home screens at night. Now the cat is giving me a look of disapproval for using my phone. 🐈

Love me a “Fresh Reburb”

Still negroni week so I must have another one? Yes/yes

Cherry ripe negroni - Campari, Cinzano 1757 Rossi, Bulldog Gin, cherry, vanilla, choc bitters.

Checked out the teatowel display at the State Library of Queensland. “Gateway to the Great Barrier Reef” has been the marketing slogan for Mackay about as long as I’ve been alive.

Barrier Reef pleasure islands. *map not to scale.

When on holidays you take yourself out to lunch? Yes/Yes

Negroni week means I have to have one? Yes/Yes
