A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on a tan-coloured lounge with his head up on the arm of the lounge, looking directly at the camera.

I left to go pick @yayKM up from the train, and Beanie was EXTREMELY unconcerned. Didn't move from this position while I was putting my shoes on and getting the keys.

A photo of an oval-shaped ceramic dish with moussaka in it, alongside a slice of bread.

A photo of a big shallow bowl that has warm fig and date pudding that's in the shape of a muffin, sitting on top of a butterscotch sauce. Next to it is a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream with a sliced piece of strawberry on top.

And now we finished everything off with Greek! It's just so consistently excellent.

A photo of a small bass guitar amp with a bass guitar leaning against it, and a novel sitting in front. The amp is an Orange Crush Bass 25 and has a black mesh on the front with the rest of it being the customary bright orange colour. The guitar is a Yamaha BB434 and the body fades from black around the edges into a dark rich orange/red wood in the middle. The book is a sci-fi novel "Empire of Silence" by Christopher Ruocchio.

A photo of three guitars hanging on a wall.

Birthday loot! 😁 The book was a surprise gift from @yayKM, the reviews are glowing so I'll definitely be starting that next when I finish my current book.

And I've gotten the bass all nicely wall-mounted already. Very excited to start learning it, I've heard very good things about Bassbuzz from LOTS of people so I'm going to start with that.

A photo of ten assembled and undercoated humanoid but extremely clearly not human miniatures, plus two more that look kind of like a cross between a dog and a pig. The humanoids are fairly spindly and have faces that almost look like turtles, and their "hair" is spines that stick straight out from the back of their heads. Their clothing is quite organic, there's a bit of armour but it's quite worn-looking. They're all wielding various weapons, mostly extremely long rifles.

Finally got my Kroot from the Into The Dark box assembled and undercoated! The organic feel of them should be a nice change of pace from the clean lines of the Voidscarred.

A photo of a completed game of Scrabble.

It's Saturday night and we definitely know how to party!

Much closer game than last one, I won 326 to 305.

A photo of the front of our house. There's a path next to the garage on the left that leads to the front door and has three small kalanchoes in pots along side the wall, and to the right of the front door is a big bay window with a small garden with red mulch in it. In the garden there's two conifers in tall white pots in front of the window, two small trees (I don't know what specifically they are) in blue pots on either side of the conifers, two somewhat sad-looking lavender plants also in blue pots in front of those, and some more kalanchoes and a jade plant at the very left of the garden.

I did some rearranging of the front garden today, quite pleased with the results!

The problem with the conifers in their old position (under the eaves at the left there) was they constantly needed watering because they almost never got any direct rain, and also we had to semi-regularly trim them because they'd grow tall enough that they'd hit the eaves. Both these problems should be solved now, and hopefully they'll also grow a little better because they'll be getting some more light as well.

A photo of ten miniatures standing in front of what looks like the inside of an industrial-looking starship. They're essentially space elf pirates, all their armour is elegant and flowing and a rich burgundy colour, and they have cool turquoise capes. They're branding various ranged and close-combat weapons, and several of them have brightly-coloured mohawks.

A photo of ten Astra Militarum Tempestus Scions (basically regular humans with guns in armour). The leader is in the middle and standing on a piece of industrial machinery aiming a plasma pistol and has her black cape billowing out dramatically behind her. They others are all wearing big blue-grey armour and are wielding various guns, they've all got black or brown skin, and they all look extra bad-ass because they're wearing red berets and a couple of them have sunglasses on. The bases are done so they all look like they're standing in snow.

I had entirely too much fun setting up a proper group shot for my Voidscarred and Scions today.

A photo of a black PowerBook G3 sitting on a desk, booted to the Mac OS 9 desktop. The machine is big and chunky, but also has subtle curves to it, and the trackpad is HILARIOUSLY tiny compared to modern Macs.

It's aliiiiive!

And even though I know my current MacBook Pro is UTTERLY silent at all times, it's still very weird to have an OLD computer also being completely silent too. I'm subconsciously used to hearing all the clicking of the hard disk.

A photo of a 128GB mSATA SSD and a caddy to convert that to a 2.5-inch IDE connection.

Current project: Installing this into my old PowerBook G3!

I'm also hoping that I can create a disk image of the existing hard drive and clone it onto one of the old external FireWire hard disks I still have floating around. 🤞🏻

A photo of six zombie miniatures and the zombie master guy who's in a long flowing deep purple cloak and who is wearing a skin mask. Four of the zombies have poles coming out of them with wires connected between each pole, in a very Frankensten-esque manner. One has an arm that's WAY larger than its regular arm that's been grafted onto it.

And that's the Exiled Dead all done! I HAD to add some blood effects, of course. 😁
