A photo of a narrow raised garden bed alongside a fence, there's two palm-type trees in it, a fair few grassy weeds, and the red mulch coverage is fairly patchy and it looks very dull.

A wider-angle shot of the same bit of garden bed but showing more of it to the left. There's no weeds at all now and the mulch is fresh and red.

Phew, that was a productive afternoon. Pulled up all the weeds and dead mulch in half of our side garden, plus pruned a bunch of the dead fronds from the palm trees, then put weed mat down and fresh mulch. The other half will have to wait for another day because a) I'm out of steam, b) there's way more weeds than the half I did, and c) the garbage bin is full.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side on a green blanket with his head propped up against part of it, giving some serious side-eye.

Beanie's in a kind of awkward snoozing position and is apparently very dubious about me taking his photo.

A photo of the game board of a Warhammer Underworlds game. The artwork on it looks like a bunch of gnarled roots and it's covered in hexagons that indicate distances. Closest to the camera are Ironsoul's Condemnors, three heavily-armoured warriors in deep blue and gold armour wielding maces and shields. Facing them are the Shadeborn, four lithe elves in very dynamic poses with very pale skin and wearing deep purple clothing.

First game of Warhammer Underworlds with the new Gnarlwood rules, Ironsoul's Condemnors vs. the Shadeborn!

I used Battle Mallet's suggested Nemesis deck for the Condemnors because it turned out the one I had put together a while back sucked, and it was very fun, but ended up very one-sided, oops. It was partially due to some lucky rolling on my part, but we called it half-way through the second turn out of three total because I'd wiped out @yayKM's warband entirely and the score was already 9-5. Fighter of the match goes to Brodus Blightblade who single-handedly killed two of the four enemy warriors outright (the first one in the first activation of turn one) and did two out of three damage to a third one that allowed me to ping that third one for an extra one damage to kill him.

I really like the new rule changes for activations specifically, and the Nemesis format is great.

A photo of a dinner plate with a bunch of thick-cut fries covered in chilli (made with chicken mince rather than beef), with a sprinkling of shredded cheese on top and a dollop of sour cream alongside.

Yessss, @yayKM made chilli fries for dinner tonight and they were gooooood. #adulting

A photo of a Roland TV-17KV electronic drum kit that has a hi-hat mounted on an acoustic stand at the left, the standard crash and ride cymbals on the mid-left and mid-right respectively, and then the old hi-hat cymbal has been repurposed at the far right of the kit as a second crash cymbal.

And now that I've replaced the stock hi-hat I have a spare cymbal, so I've hooked up that up at the very right as a second crash cymbal! 😁

A photo of a compact electronic drum kit, with a very shiny metal acoustic hi-hat stand with a black plastic cymbal mounted on it sitting behind the kit.

I've started doing some more advanced stuff on the drums and some of it involves using the hi-hat pedal to open and close the hi-hat, but the stock hi-hat pedal that comes with the drums is fairly mushy and I was having a lot of trouble getting it to register when doing fast switches between open and closed (it's perfectly fine just when it's fully closed or open, just not so much when switching between the two in rapid succession). I did some research and Roland actually have a hi-hat that you mount on a regular acoustic hi-hat stand and it physically moves up and down as a regular hi-hat would.

I ordered both the cymbal and the stand earlier in in the week and it arrived today, and man it feels nice to play!
