A weekend in singletown

This weekend Ness and the littleone are headed off to Melbourne for a belated mothers day visit. Due to fact my current project is coming to and end it was too hard to organize the time for me to go as well so I've been left at home to mind the fort.

This of course means I get the chance (however briefly) to return to a time when the littleone wasn't running around.

So this morning I dropped the travelers at the airport and came home to start my weekend of self indulgence. As it was too early to go out for breakfast I plonked myself on the couch and cruised through a few rounds of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 long enough for blowfly to open. I packed up the iPad and settled in to catch up on the weeks news over some coffees and some eggs without a trip to find some rocks in sight.

This being a fairly rare opportunity there has been some seriously planning to optimize the time available: Gaming on every platform I can find, catching up on all the movies I have missed over that last months, some ikea hacks for the lounge, tech shopping and the final parts of the arcade table upgrade. The most geeking out I can possibly fit into a weekend.

While this sounds Like a perfect escape the missing has already started as I spy all the other neighborhood families head out for their breakfasts. Maybe I'll have to pick up some rocks on my way home and push them around the train tracks just for good measure.
