A photo of a small not-as-scruffy-as-before dog sitting on a countertop next to a huge pile of hair while a woman is leaning around him trimming his front leg hair with scissors.

The same dog as before, now on the floor and looking fantastically neat and tidy.

Guess who was a very good boy while he got a haircut!

A photo of a small LCD display showing indoor and outdoor temperature, how much power we're consuming and producing from the solar panels, and the battery charge percentage. Next to the percentage is a green up arrow that indicates it's being charged, if it's discharging it changes to a red down arrow.

I have of course updated my little Pi display to pull data from the Powerwall, and added the battery charge percentage and whether it's charging or discharging. 😎

A photo of two large bags of "Pink Batts" ceiling insulation.

It's all happening today, we're taking advantage of the fact that Beanie is over at my parents' place to get the ceiling insulation redone as well. (The people that put the ducted aircon in that was put in before we bought the place had just pulled the existing insulation back in places and not replaced it).

A photo of our home office taken from the doorway. There's two white bookcases facing each other, two desks with computers on them next to the bookshelves, and to the right of the bookshelves is a window. The downlights are nice and bright and warm.

Exactly one year to the day after we got downlights installed in the lounge room and kitchen, we've had them installed in the office! It looks so much nicer and brighter now.

A photo of a mug of hot chocolate sitting on a bench.

Hell yeah, upside to this cold miserable rainy weather is that it's perfect for a nice mug of hot chocolate.

A photo of the bar at the middle of a restaurant. There's black and white tiles on the sides of it, and tons of glassware hanging down above it.

A photo of a schnitzel sitting on top of chips, with a slice of lemon and a small bowl of aioli.

A nighttime shot of several trees at the centre of Rouse Hill Town Centre, all strung up with lights around the trunks.

Fuck yeah, went to The Bavarian at Rouse Hill for dinner tonight. Always so damn good.

The ordering and payment was really interesting, there was a QR code to scan that took you to a website where you selected what you wanted from the menu, and the site offered Apple Pay so it was absolutely frictionless. Didn't even need the waitress to come over for anything but delivering the food.
