A photo of the box of a set of Acacia Lunar scales, and the additional magnetised plate to make it a little wider if you need it. The scales are ~10cm x 10cm square, with rounded corners, and thin enough to fit under your cup when you're making espresso.

Woohoo, my fancy espresso scales arrived! (I mean, you can obviously use them for more than just espresso, which we'll be doing).

A screenshot of the Apple Store showing a 16" MacBook Pro with the M1 Max chip in the Space Grey colour, with 32GB RAM, and 2TB storage.

Happy New MacBook Pro Day! 🎉 This will be a worthy upgrade from my Late 2013 27" iMac. Now I just need to find a decent high-DPI external display...

A photo of six chicken skewers being cooked on the barbecue. They've already been flipped over so the top side of them is nice and brown and they look delicious. Underneath the barbecue, the flames are quite orange.

Aw yeah, using our barbecue for the first time in probably six months. Chicken that's been marinated in miso, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil. We had it with rice and green beans and it was bloody delicious.

A photo of a small fancy glass with rum in it and a single big ice cube.

Kristina bought me a set of ice cube trays that make REALLY BIG ice cubes, so I'm having a rum Old Fashioned with one and it's excellent.

Judas Priest - Breaking the Law

I haven't been posting much about it, but my guitar learning is coming along pretty well! This is the riff from Judas Priest's "Breaking the Law". (I should clarify that this is the entirety of what I know from that song).

A photo of a corner of our garage with all of our new garden equipment mounted on the wall with hooks: the "Power Head" that holds the battery for the edger, hedge trimmer, and line trimmer attachments, as well as the leaf blower. There's also a small fire extinguisher, and small garden fork and spade.

A photo of the inside side wall of our garage with a bunch of vertically-hanging hooks attached to two wooden planks up near the ceiling. There's various tools hanging off them (a couple of saws, a couple of clamps, a level, bolt cutters, a broom, etc.).

That was an excellent last mental-health-Friday off. Got all the new garden equipment (sans mower) mounted tidily on the wall in the garage, and also put in a bunch of new hooks in on the other side to similarly neaten up the stuff that was hanging there.

I also took the opportunity to take the new blower for a spin to clean the floor of the garage out a bit. It's got a "Turbo" button, and HOO BOY am I glad I had the arm strap attached because it was actively pushing backwards against me!

A screenshot of one of the open areas in Destiny 2's "Tower" social space, with a big gnarled and dead tree in the middle, tall purple candles everywhere, along with some spiderwebs, jack-o-lanterns, and multicoloured geometric lights hanging from various points.

A screenshot of a walkway in Destiny 2, with more cobwebs everywhere and the same purple candles and multicoloured geometric light balls as the other shot.

Yesss, it's again time for Destiny 2's Halloween event, "The Festival of the Lost".

REALLY hoping we don't end up with smashed solar panels after this storm...

(Update: they were fine!)

A photo of a BUNCH of big boxes containing all battery-powered equipment: lawn mower, blower, plus an edger, hedge trimmer, and line trimmer attachment and the head they attach onto. Also a shoulder strap and a pair of polarised protective glasses.

We've also gone whole-hog and replaced ALL of our outdoor gardening equipment with battery-powered stuff from a company called EGO. It's apparently extremely well-regarded and is as good as petrol so I'm keen to see how it goes.
