We had to put Beanie to sleep today. 😭

Man this fucking sucks. I have no idea how people do this more than once.

A wide-angle photo of a bunch of mostly empty bowls and plates from a Chinese restaurant sitting on a table.

A photo of a crispy golden-brown ball of deep-fried ice cream sitting on top of butterscotch sauce.

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 big bowl of tonkotsu ramen, with two hard-boiled eggs and slices of pork floating in the broth.

Day two of team event involved stopping actual work at 11:30am and going to Cockatoo Island for hanging out and drinks and nibblies. I took some RAW photos with my iPhone that I'll process and put on Flickr (assuming they come out any good, it was very grey and dreary so they might actually be just flat and boring).

Then we went out for ramen at Ippudo for dinner and it was gooood.

A photo of the inside of an open office area with a number of individual low tables and chairs, and a BUNCH of big plants that reach up almost to the ceiling, so it almost feels like you're in a rainforest.

Another section of the office, it's all clean light colours (but not in an antiseptic way), with light coloured wooden tables and chairs and cupboard panels, and a big commercial espresso machine sitting in the middle.

One last view looking down a quite large open area, still in the light colours but with a (currently closed because it's night time) self-service salad bar in the middle and the base of the bar is a bold red splash of colour in the middle of the lighter colours surrounding it.

They did a big revamp of the reception/kitchen level at work, and man it looks great. We even have an in-house barista in the morning now!

A photo of a fried chicken burger with a slice of cheese hanging part way out, and a little cardboard container of chips.

A photo of a "doughnut" (it doesn't actually have a hole in the middle" with meringue on top and a bit of the lemon filling visible at the side where it's leaked out.

Aww yeah, day one of our work team event has begun with a kara-age burger for lunch followed by a lemon meringue donut. 👌🏻

A wide-angle photo of seven people sitting around in a loose circle with electric guitars on their laps.

Spent a couple of hours this afternoon jamming* with some local dads.

*Well, I say "jamming" but that's overstating it in my case, I'm not good enough to actually just look at what someone else is doing and be able to play along with them.

A photo taken of a table in the middle of a Magic: The Gathering game with cards everywhere, plus snacks and cups in scattered around. There were six people but the table is large enough that only four people's worth of cards in play fit into the photo.

Tonight I went over to a friend's place for some birthday nerding for him and another friend (both of them born on the same day, just a year apart). We got two six-player games of Magic in, and then probably like an hour of a very silly card game called Muffin Time before the game essentially got reset and we decided to leave it there, haha. I won the first game of Magic, and one of the birthday boys won the second one.

This was "Commander" format Magic where you can only have one single copy of a given card, and the decks are larger (100 cards vs. 60 in a normal deck), and I absolutely cannot brain sufficiently to figure out synergies between that many individual cards to make a Commander deck so I just played with other people's decks rather than my own regular format ones.

A photo of a busy construction site with big sewer pipes sections sitting in the foreground, various earthmoving vehicles in the distance, and a set of unit blocks in the distance with cranes on top of and behind them.

After almost two years of nothing happening with the earthworks near us, suddenly it's action stations.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying in a patch of sunlight, with his back up against a set of white IKEA wardrobes. It's winter here so the sun is coming in at a nice low angle and it looks hella cozy.

Favourite spot in the house.

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 closest to the camera are my six converted all-women Space Marines clad in deep red armour, at the left are the four hulking Adeptus Custodes in giant golden armour, and at the right are the six Night Lords Chaos Space Marines, in fairly bright blue armour and with small red bat-looking wings as decorations in various places.

We had our semi-regular game of Sunday night Kill Team tonight, my Intercession squad versus a four-man team of Adeptus Custodes versus the brand-new Night Lords squad!

The final score was 3-2-0 Night Lords/Intercession/Custodes, but we ended up calling shortly after the start of the third turn because there were only three objective markers and I couldn't physically move fast enough to contest the two that the Night Lords had. In retrospect we should have put some more objectives down, but the mission we chose had three objective markers on it but with different rules that we decided were too complicated, so we just did a standard "capture the point" type of thing.

Play of the match goes to my leader Sister Sarine, she fired a supercharged plasma pistol shot into one of the Custodes and rolled two 6s, a 2, and 1. I'd taken the strategic ploy that lets you reroll an attack dice if you're shooting at something within 6" so rerolled the 1 for that and scored another 6, then spent a command point and rerolled the 2 and got ANOTHER 6! That SHOULD have been game over for the enemy operative but annoyingly he'd taken a strategic ploy that takes crit damage down to normal damage, and so even though he was only rolling one defence dice because of the AP2 plasma pistol shot, it was still a 2+ save and so he survived on only 3 wounds. ::fistshake::
