A photo of a bowl of ice cream, with Ice Magic, chopped up strawberries, and crushed peanuts on top.

At work for the past slightly under two weeks I've been drafted into getting the internal documentation for our new platform wrangled into a better state (where the current state is basically "it's been written by individual effort from a bunch of devs who've all been operating mostly independently and also the platform is changing almost week by week and nobody has had time to look at things with a customer-focused eye"). I'm pretty well known as The Documentation Guy and so bringing me in to help has been basically bringing in the big guns.

It's been really interesting and I'm learning lot, plus everyone is really nice and helpful and answers my endless questions, but man is it draining. So this is an extremely TGIF bowl of ice cream. One more week to go and then I have three weeks off and let me tell you I am very excited.

Right, holiday step one: celebratory trashy dessert.

A photo of a white bowl with vanilla ice cream in it, covered with Ice Magic chocolate topping, chopped up strawberries, and some butterscotch sauce. The rum is there too but it's all in the bottom of the bowl so you can't see it.

I burnt 1020 calories on the elliptical after work watching an episode of The Wheel of Time, so now I've ruined it by having a big ol' trashy bowl of ice cream with a shot of The Kraken coffee spiced rum while I watch an episode of The Expanse. 😎

And the final day of delicious paid-for-by-work food was Mr. Wong's, we went there last year and it was amazing and was just as good this year. There's nothing for scale on the photo of the deep-fried ice cream ball but it was about the size of a softball (we went halves, there was no possible way I could have eaten the whole lot).

A photo of a pork collar butt that's been smoked, it's blackened and looks amazing.

The same pork collar butt that's been pulled apart, you can clearly see the pink smoke ring in it.

A serving of the pork collar butt on a dinner plate along with some green beans and two corn muffins.

A bowl with vanilla ice cream in it that's barely visible under a whole lot of sliced-up strawberries, Ice Magic (chocolate topping that goes hard when it gets cold), and crushed peanuts.

EPIC DINNER SUCCESS.

Followed up by ice cream with strawberries that needed to be eaten because they're VERY ripe.

Oh no, Kristina bought some strawberries and there were too many so I had to have some before they went off. ::dramatic hand to forehead::

(Perfect ice cream weather today, it's sunny, 30˚C and 19% humidity right now.)

Oh man, today has been mental at work, and I remembered that I have ice cream, and now I feel better.

A photo of a bowl of vanilla ice cream with chocolate topping, crushed peanuts, sprinkles, and it's all slightly brown because of the shot of Kahlúa I put over it all.

I've done fourteen thousand steps so far today, have hit 300% of my move goal, recorded some drums in Logic Pro earlier this afternoon for a song I've been noodling around with, and am currently making a double batch of lentil rice with bush curry seasoning to have with eggplant kasundi and Greek yoghurt for lunches during the week. So I decided to treat myself with some ice cream with Ice Magic, crushed peanuts, sprinkles, and a shot of Kahlúa on top. 😁

I had another rubbish night's sleep last night (my right thigh muscles and lower back have been sore, enough that it keeps me awake if I don't take ibuprofen), so I called the physiologist and managed to get an appointment this afternoon. After a bunch of stretching and questions and testing, he reckoned it was most likely because my back is REALLLLY stiff and it's not quite pinching a nerve but enough that it's causing signalling weirdness to my leg. He gave me a thorough massaging and I've got some exercises to do and will see how it goes and will go in again next week.

So tonight we went out for Thai for dinner and bought some crushed peanuts on the way back to take @Andrea@social.chinwag.org's advice with the ice cream and Ice Magic from last time, and HOT DAMN was she on the money! 👌🏻

A photo of a two litre tub of Bulla vanilla ice cream and a bottle of Ice Magic chocolate ice cream topping (which Wikipedia helpfully informs me is called "Bird's Ice Magic" in the UK and "Magic Shell" in the US).

I have no idea why but I've been uncomfortable in bed for the last week-ish and not sleeping very well, and today I'm feeling generally all-over achy. Decided to make myself feel better by going trashy and hitting up the shops to buy some vanilla ice cream and Ice Magic and let me tell you, it's pretty excellent.
