A photo taken from our home office looking out the window, where there's a metal platform a bit above the windowsill with a tradie in shorts and wearing a toolbelt standing on it. You can't see above his waist and he's working on removing the old guttering.

Current status: banging and crashing.

(We're getting our gutters replaced because they're in atrocious shape.)

A photo from our home office looking out into the backyard. There's a two storey house to the left left of frame blocking most of the view and sunlight, but just past that is a tree with golden leaves that's being made to look extra golden by the sunset shining on it. There are some other trees to the right of that, and the sky is grey and cloudy. In the front of the trees is the little room/structure that's turned into our hobby-slash-storage room, it's got browny/red walls on it and a white roof.

It was completely overcast and dreary the whole day today, then right as the sun was setting the clouds started to clear out west and we got the sun shining on just the tree in our backyard!

A photo of a thin-crust pizza with cheese that's browned around the edges and peas dotting it, sitting on a round pizza tray. It looks pretty delicious and I can confirm that it lived up to that.

Aww yiss, trashy dinner tonight for @yayKM@aus.social's birthday: store-bought pizza bases to make home-made pizza, with green Tabasco plus home-made ranch dressing. 👌🏻 And we're just about to watch This Is Spinal Tap, which I don't even recall the last time I saw.

A wide-angle photo of a brightly-lit open-place office, with people standing around and a seating area with lounges and a big TV and people playing Super Smash Bros. on it.

A photo taken standing directly behind one of the rows of desks, there are three ultra-widescreen curved displays all with Nintendo Switches plugged in and Super Smash Bros. being played on them, all 1 versus 1 games.

A photo of Oliver! He's a small fluffy white dog, he has a brown moustache and is sitting down with his mouth open so looks like he's smiling. I think he's half Maltese and half poodle.

In the office today, it was meant to be for an after work music jam but one person bailed because they were feeling like they were coming down with something and the other entirely forgot and scheduled something else for this evening. 😑

There happened to also be a Super Smash Bros. tournament going on in the office tonight so instead of jamming I had some free pizza and met a dog named Oliver!

A photo looking straight down a walking path, there are large trees looming on the right and train tracks at the left. The sun is shining in through the trees at a low angle from the right, but there's no blue sky visible over the tracks and in the distance because the remnants of the fog haven't burnt off yet so it's more of a bright grey.

I dropped the car off at the mechanic this morning and had a good brisk 25 minute walk back home. Though it was significantly nippier than when I did this last year (6˚C and had been foggy this morning, versus more like 15˚C and completely clear last year), fortunately the walk warmed me up!

A photo of three undercoated but otherwise mostly unpainted miniatures, on the left is a positively huge Kosargi Night Guard, he's a hulking zombie-looking brute with rotting skin and wearing a torn-up knee-length cloak and a Mongolian-style fur hat. He's got a big long beard and is holding an absolutely massive axe. Next to him are the two Vyrkos Bloodborn vampires that aren't quite fully (or formerly) human because they've got clawed feet and one has fur on his thighs. The left one is holding onto the top of an (actually painted) ruined stone column with one hand and dangling off the side with his feet holding onto the column and he's holding a long thin sword. The other one is crouched low mid-sprint with one hand held out in front of her like she's about to grab someone's throat and her other hand is out behind her also holding a long thin sword.

I have started painting more of my Warhammer Quest miniatures (for the first time since January last year, oops)! 🎉

One of the friends I play Kill Team with on Sunday nights suggested we could do a "hobby and hang" over video call, and it was such a good idea, we had a good hour and a half chatting and painting, and I've made some progress on the two remaining Vyrkos Bloodborn (plus a tiny amount on the Kosargi Nightguard).

A photo of a white dinner plate with two amazingly-delicious looking fried fillets of salmon that are crispy around the edges, sitting next to long-grain rice and sliced green beans.

Oh man, for dinner tonight @yayKM@aus.social did Ama-Shiozake (Japanese brined salmon) and it was EPIC! (Not pictured: the sriracha we added to it, which IMO is a requirement.)

A photo of the inside of the music store Manny's, with rows and rows of shiny and differently-coloured guitars mounted on the walls.

We caught the Metro to Crows Nest today to drop two of my guitars off at Manny's for a restringing and full setup. Had coffee with @wobin@aus.social then went back via Manny's again to ogle guitars. I also had a play on one of the serious business Roland V-Drums electronic drum kits that's fully five times the price of my one, and while it's neat I think it would take someone of significantly higher skill than me to actually warrant paying such a huge sum for it. 😅

A wide-angle photo taking looking west over Sydney from our 30th floor office. There are a couple of buildings that are taller over to the right of frame but it's otherwise a straight view out west, with shorter but still tall office buildings close to ours then tapering down the further out you get. The sky is mostly blue but with fluffy clouds out in the distance towards the horizon. The sun is just in frame at the top-right.

In the office today for an after work team dinner, and while it looks very #GloriousSydney out there, holy shit is it windy. I'm sitting on the 30th floor and can hear the wind periodically blowing a gale out there.

A photo of a game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. The board looks like the metal of the inside of an ancient steampunk starship, and the terrain is a bunch of walls all connected together in the same steampunk style to form number of interconnecting rooms. Left of frame are the six hulking and putrid Plague Marines in large sci-fi-looking dull green amour with all sorts of tentacles and demon faces coming out of the armour. At the right are the extremely ramshackle-looking green Orks of the Wrecka Krew, all with mismatched armour plating on various parts of their bodies and holding all sorts of ridiculously oversized weapons.

In the office for Kill Team tonight, my Plague Marines versus the Ork Wrecka Krew, and despite a decent start it ended up completely falling over in a heap and we called it at the start of turn 3 when the score was 7-3 to the Orks and I was going to be completely unable to score anything more. 😞 I think I need to go back to my Angels of Death, I just cannot for the life of me keep everything they can do in my head and I'm constantly forgetting their rules. The Angels of Death are more self-contained, where each individual operative doesn't need to interact too much with the others.
