A photo of a set of guitar strings, two guitar wall mounts, two straps, some patch cables for connecting guitar pedals together, some string cleaner/lubricant, some 1-metre instrument cables, and a set of heavy-duty velcro for fastening guitar pedals to a pedal board.

Also my next batch of guitar-related bits and bobs arrived. Looking forward to getting the new strings onto my guitar, I realised it's sounding pretty muddy at this point given I haven't changed them since I bought it two years ago. 😬

A photo of three brown goats in a section of a barn. One of them is standing on top of a short tree stump.

A photo of a grey kangaroo lying on its side, with its torso propped up on its front arms.

A photo of three quokkas, two are huddled together eating seeds and grass off the ground, the other is holding the bottom of one of those very cheap ice cream cones and going to town on it.

Then we went to Featherdale and saw animals! We brought the DSLR and took lots of photos, I'll link them once I've processed and uploaded them.

A photo of a square white ceramic baking dish with delicious-looking chocolate brownie in it.

I made gluten-free brownies for Kristina's birthday! It's a new recipe we haven't tried before so it's possible it'll be awful, but we'll find out this afternoon when we have it.

A screenshot of incredible tackiness. In the middle is a "rack" with various guitar effects on it (harmonics, compression, output), all with actual dials that you need to awkwardly move with the mouse in order to adjust. At the top of the rack is a "Power Amp" section that has actual vacuum tubes that light up if you turn the power dials up. To the left and right it shows the "room" that you're recording in, with a full-size photo and a little version of the speaker cabinet you've selected, and the microphone you've selected mounted on a stand.

The load box comes with a license to use Two Notes' "Wall of Sound" DAW plugin that simulates speaker cabinets (with a limited selection of their full suite of available cabs), and it always amazes me how tacky audio software user interfaces tend to be. 😂

The load box arrived! It's very cool being able to have my sweet tube amp sounds but also being able to record them straight to the computer without fucking around with a microphone setup.

Alpacas! 🎉

That being said, they weren't nearly as snuggly as the ones we saw in New Zealand a few years ago, they weren't really interested in you unless you had food, and Kristina got spat on right at the start and none of the alpacas wanted the food from her because she smelled like spit.

A photo of a kind of dog kennel, except it's soft and made of stripy fabric and is sitting indoors. A small scruffy blonde dog is lying inside it on top of a pink blanket, giving a funny look because he's not quite sure what I'm doing.

This little house really was such a great purchase, Beanie loves just snoozing in it.

A photo of the box of a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Gen 3 audio interface. The top and sides of the interface are a rich deep red metallic colour, and on the front is shiny black with all sorts of dials and sockets on it.

Huzzah, the audio interface arrived! Now to wait for the load box so I can actually, y'know, make full use of said audio interface.

A photo of a bright orange guitar amp with a wheat-coloured front grill sitting on the floor next to a shiny black electric guitar.

The same orange guitar amp but this time sitting on a little elevated wooden platform in the corner of a room under a standing desk.

It's here! 🤘🏻 And it fits PERFECTLY on the little stand I made!

A photo of a tan three-seater lounge with a small ramp going up to the left-most seat. The ramp has two additional vertical pieces of wood attached to either side of it top prevent Beanie jumping down part-way down the ramp, and there's an L-shaped bit of wood sitting in the gap between the left and middle seats to stop him being able to both jump down beside the ramp and also wander over to the other seats and jump down from them too.

Beanie loves sitting up on the arm of the lounge (for example) but he also happily just jumps straight down from it to the ground even though we got him a dog ramp. So this weekend Kristina made a little barricade on the lounge and sides for the ramp so he's only got one way to get up and down. 😁
