A photo of my Christmas presents: a Boss Katana Go headphone amp, Shure SE215 noise isolating earbuds, a little wooden holder for my guitar picks, and a bottle of "Lucky Sod" liqueur that says it's honeycomb and sticky toffee mixed with Irish whiskey.

A photo of sliced roast beef, roast potatoes and pumpkin, and a chicken leg sitting on a white dinner plate.

A photo of a black vinyl record on a turntable.

Hope everyone has had an excellent Christmas! Got some good presents, had a delicious roast lunch, and listened to Alice In Chains on the record that the seventeen year-old asked for as a present, haha.

A photo of two disgusting Plague Marine miniatures, both just undercoated. The one on the left is mid-stride and has what looks like a huge flamethrower slung under one arm, and the one on the right is holding a gnarled staff up in one hand and has his other hand out in front of him casting some foul cloud of magic. Both of them are in pox-ridden Space Marine armour, with tentacles and pustules everywhere, and the one on the right with the staff has a huge mouth with massive teeth in the stomach of his armour.

Right, that's the two Plague Marines that I need to make a squad for the new edition of Kill Team ready for painting! The one on the left with the Plague Spewer is actually a conversion I kitbashed but never painted back when the previous 2021 edition of Kill Team came out, and the Malignant Plaguecaster on the right is even older than that: he dates from the Warhammer 40,000: Dark Imperium box that I bought back in 2018 or so.

I don't technically have a WYSIWYG Plague Champion to use as my leader because my Champion that has a plasma pistol has a powerfist instead of a plague sword. I'm going to use the old Noxious Blightbringer model that's also from the Dark Imperium because because he does have a plasma pistol and is holding a bell in his other hand, rather than having a specific weapon that someone might be confused by, plus it's just an AWESOME model and I've never had a chance to use it. He's on a 40mm base rather than 32mm but I can't be bothered trying to rebase him because he's already fully painted, and we just play casually anyway.

A photo of my standing desk in its upright position, with a bass guitar sitting to the left of the desk, an electric guitar sitting to the right of the desk, a bass guitar multi-effects pedal with a whole ton of knobs and dials on it ON the desk, and Logic Pro showing on the main display.

Doing some more mucking around with my song, I've redone the bass line now. My problem is that each time I come back to the song and listen more I decide I'm not happy with something and need to change it. 😅

A photo of a game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. The board looks like the metal of the inside of an ancient steampunk starship, and the terrain is a bunch of walls all connected together in the same steampunk style to form number of interconnecting rooms. At the bottom right closest to the camera are my six converted all-women Space Marines clad in deep red armour, at the far edge of the board on the right are the very ancient Egyptian-looking space marines of the Warp Coven, and mostly not visible at the left behind the walls are the Nemesis Claw Chaos Space Marines, in fairly bright blue armour and with small red bat-looking wings as decorations in various places.

We were finally able to get another game of the new edition of Kill Team in tonight! Angels of Death vs. Warp Coven vs. Nemesis Claw. We had to call it after the second turn because my friend who was playing the Nemesis Claw needed to go home and get stuff done, so it ended up being 2-1-1 with the Nemesis Claw out in front but they definitely were not going to have won if we'd played all the way through to the end of the fourth turn. They'd lost two operatives and had two more badly wounded, versus my five left almost all of whom were untouched.

Play of the match went to my leader Sister Sarine, who absolutely VAPORISED the Nemesis Claw's Skin Thief operative in a single shot with her supercharged plasma pistol by way of rolling all five dice as crits. 😁 And the triple Chapter Tactics you get for choosing the Assault Intercessor as leader is SO powerful.

Next I need to get around to painting my Malignant Plaguecaster and Heavy Gunner with the Plague Spewer so I can field a team of my trusty Plague Marines again!

A photo of a wooden kitchen cutting board with half of a round golden brown loaf of bread and a slice of the bread with butter and jam on it. The jam has large chunks of fruit in it, and in the background sitting on a cooling rack behind the cutting board are the sliced up pieces of the first half of the loaf.

Holiday step two: home-made bread, and I had some of @[email protected]'s loquat and raspberry jam on it and oh my GOD, that might be one of the best jams I've ever had!

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

Right, holiday step one: celebratory trashy dessert.

A photo of my standing desk in its upright position, with a Yamaha BB-434 bass guitar sitting to the left of the desk, and Logic Pro showing on the main computer display.

Current status: totally ripping off @[email protected]'s chord progression from I'm Staying Home This Christmas for my own song I'm noodling around with. 😁
