A photo of six adults (and one very red-haired three year-old) smiling at the camera.

We went over for a barbecue and games at @[email protected]'s place today! Most excellent fun, next plan is for me to make another pulled pork during the day and then go over and introduce everyone to Warhammer Underworlds, aw yiss.

A photo of a dinner plate with a bed of golden mashed potato with a layer of beef mince on top, covered in chopped-up red capsicum and with a healthy dose of chipotle Tabasco sauce on top, and a big dollop of sour cream next to the mash.

Oh man, @yayKM made a nacho... mash... thing for dinner and it was SO GOOD.

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds board and miniature. The board is covered in hex tiles and the art on it looks like tree roots and the inside of a cave. Closest to the camera are five Skaven (rat-men assassins) in various dynamic poses (one is leaping over a smoke bomb he's just set off), and facing them are three heavily armoured human warriors of Chaos, and a less heavily-armoured wizard who is wielding a staff and looks like she's in the middle of casting a spell.

Mid-week Warhammer Underworlds with @[email protected]!

This time it was me playing the tricksy Skaven, Skittershank's Clawpack, and him playing Khagra's Ravagers. I'd played the Clawpack once before and it went disastrously poorly, but it seems to depend entirely on the cards you draw and when. This time was FAR better, there were lots of fun things to do and we ended up calling it at the end of the second round when I was ahead 13-7 and he had only a single fighter left.

A photo of a pizza in a open pizza box, with garlic bread behind it. On top of the pizza there's meatballs covered in bolognese sauce, fresh basil, onion, and strips of parmesan cheese.

@yayKM was in the office today and stayed back late, I was all excited to treat myself to some Indian for dinner until I went to order it and remembered that they're closed on Tuesday. 😤

So plan B: pizza and garlic bread (and enough of it that I'm also having it for lunch tomorrow).

A photo of entire set of EXTREMELY ramshackle pieces of terrain from the Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team: Octarius box from Games Workshop. At the back are four parts of an Ork fort that look like they belong in a junk yard, the walls and platform on top are made up of a whole ton of pieces of metal scrap, like big plates, corrugated pieces, massive beams, there's a door in there, and a couple of empty gas cylinders. There's also an old rig thing with the big pumping arm in the same ramshackle style, and scattered in front of these larger pieces are piles of scrap metal and chest-high walls also made out of all sorts of pieces of scrap.

All the big pieces are on cut-out pieces of cardboard that are covered in a texture paint that makes it look like sand, and there's various tufts of dry grasses growing around the base of the walls.

IT. IS. DONE.

All of the Kill Team Octarius terrain, fully painted!

Pro: Went to a party at a friend's place, used their pool for a good two hours (I honestly don't think I've been in a pool for probably ten years or more), met new people, had lots of fun.

Con: My Apple Watch appears not to have survived the pool, despite supposedly being waterproof. 😡

Fortunately @yayKM offered her Watch to use because she can't wear it due to wrist issues anyway, so my 1244 day streak of closing all three of my rings will not be broken.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side on the bottom self of a side table, with sun pouring in on him. His butt is jammed against a shoe, and his head is resting against a thong.

Beanie's certainly made himself comfortable this morning.

...in fact, I just realised that we've had him for nine years as of today! (We got him as a rescue dog when he was just over a year old.)

A photo of a wide set of stairs leading upwards where the front face of each of the steps has part of a piece of art on it. The art itself looks like a big carpet with a native flower design on it, and the whole thing has wavy parts in it like it's blowing in the wind.

I'm in the office today to catch up with a friend after work, and this cool bit of artwork has been put on the stairs leading out from Wynyard!

I recorded a thing on the drums!! 😁 (The backing track isn't mine, full credit to Jack Curtis; all his stuff is up on Bandcamp, highly recommended).

I screwed up slightly in a couple of places because I'm used to watching the iPad in front of me and knowing when time changes are coming from there but I kept having to look over at the computer to my left instead. I've subsequently realised that I can use the iPad as an extended monitor for the laptop and can move the track time display over to that.

I also discovered the fun* of getting audio and video synced up, and how despite the fact that the iPhone says it's shooting video at 60 frames per second, it's ACTUALLY 59.94 and so by the end of the song the audio I recorded directly in Logic Pro had drifted significantly from the video. Thankfully iMovie has a "Speed Editor" where you can get it all lined back up again.

But eeeee! Absolutely stoked with this!

A photo of a bowl of ramen. It has slices of pork with chilli sauce on it, shallots, some sort of thinly-sliced mushroom thing, and two pieces of nori at the back, plus the standard ramen noodles.

We went out for Japanese with @wobin and it was incredible as always. I got the "signature" ramen and extra roasted garlic and have already apologised in advance to @yayKM for my breath.
