A wide-angle photo of a glorious sunny day, the sky is blue with a few fluffy clouds, looking down a path with trees on one side, and a small scruffy blonde dog trotting along on the end of a lead.

Well, there goes the streak of no COVID vaccine side effects. Achy and tired and unable to focus now. I took the rest of the day off work, but on the bright side the weather COULD NOT be more glorious right now (25˚C, 15% humidity, and a quality breeze) so I took Beanie for a very slow amble outside to get my exercise ring closed.

A photo of me, a white man with a red beard and brown hair that's in need of a trim, wearing a paper face mask.

It's yer man, me, with his shiny new bivalent COVID booster!

And also getting increasingly in need of a haircut, now that I look at the photo.

A photo of six almost Egyptian-looking skeletons wielding various weapons. One of them is HUGE and has moose-like antlers coming from his head and is holding a massive scythe. They're only partially painted, but the armour plates are done in a dark blue/green colour and the edges of the armour is a shiny golden brass.

Kainan's Reapers are coming along nicely!

A photo of a bowl of vanilla ice cream with Ice Magic on top, and crushed peanuts scattered on top of that.

Oh man, today has been mental at work, and I remembered that I have ice cream, and now I feel better.

A photo of a two-row pedal board with seven pedals of various sorts on it.

NOW we're cooking with gas.

A photo of the box of a Boss FZ-1W fuzz guitar pedal, and a D'Addario "XPAND2" pedal board, which is a two-row pedal board made of aluminium that can become wider as you get more pedals.

Woooooo!

I'm waiting on just one more thing (at least until Christmas 😅), an Orange FS-1 mini footswitch so I can switch between the clean and dirty channels on the amp without having to lean over and down to actually fiddle with the amp itself.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side in a patch of a sun, with his head resting on the base of an office chair (that has someone sitting in it), fast asleep.

It's SUCH a hard life.

A photo of four painted miniatures. They're all elves in various dynamic positions and have cloaks that turn into... not quite smoke at the ends, and the cloaks have been painted this INCREDIBLY deep and rich dark purple colour. They've got some leather clothing that's a deep burgundy colour, their pants are black, armoured parts are silver, and they've all got rich gold clasps holding the cloaks together. The leader lady has a big staff with a bright turquoise crescent moon thing on the top, and she's got a mask on that hides her face that's got gold around it and the same bright turquoise for the faceplate. The bases have been painted in a deep blue then drybrushed with a much lighter blue.

And that's the Shadeborn done! I'm absolutely stoked with these, the colours go so well together and I love the simplicity of the bases, like it's midnight or something.

Kristina got a new job that she's really excited about (in the same company she's already at), which is also a promotion, so went went out to dinner to celebrate and I got a laksa and it was gooood! (It was no Laksa King, but then very little is, and our local Thai place is not even ten minutes drive from us, versus Laksa King that's in the city and so an hour train trip away. 😛)

Games Workshop released new some paints in their Contrast paint line earlier this year, and they've got some new formulations that mean they can do REALLY pigmented paints. I picked some of them up and am using them on the Shadeborn, and oh man, that purple in particular. 😍
