A photo of our dining table with a Warhammer Quest game set up on it. There's lots of cards and dice everywhere, and in middle are a bunch of variously-shaped tiles connected together that look like the inside of a set of buildings. There are four hero miniatures at the right (one heavily-armoured warrior woman with a sword, a vampire hunter with a long leather coat and a big hat, a steampunk dwarf, and a priest with a rich red robe and a big staff) plus ten skeleton warriors at various points on the board. They're wearing rusty armour and tattered red cloaks, though four are unpainted because I haven't gotten around to them yet. There's also Watch Captain Halgrim in the middle who is attired similarly but is carrying a massive halberd.

This afternoon with @wobin we finished off the next Big Bad in our Warhammer Quest adventures, the skeleton warrior Watch Captain Halgrim!

We were all inspired from the first half we did last time, but even so we absolutely destroyed everything, only to realise right at the end after we'd finished that there is a whole separate event table you're meant to roll on at the end of each turn and the bottom half of that is filled with things like "All the skeletons come back". 😬 So uh... oops! For the next game, it's the same sort of journey as this one (destroy another big bad) and we need to have done both before we get to level up to Level 3. I've made a note to remember the new event table, and it's going to be quite the fight because it's against Gorslav the Gravekeeper who not only hits like a truck but also makes zombies a lot nastier as well, and we'll be facing all ten of the zombie miniatures that come in the Cursed City box.

A photo looking along the very tall hedge that's between us and our neighbour. It's very overgrown and looks messy as hell. And when I say tall I mean well in excess of two metres.

The same view, but now the hedge is all neat and tidy.

Trimmed the hedge today before it got too hot.

If you need me, I'll be over here not lifting my arms above about waist level.

A photo of an underground carpark with a whole lot of hotted-up Subaru WRXs parked in the bays, with people standing around talking.

Ah, I see it's time for the local Subaru owner's club meetup in the underground carpark at our local Coles again.

A photo of a handsome-looking stainless steel portafilter for an espresso machine. The handle is made of a reddish wood.

Upping my coffee game with a bottomless portafilter, thanks to @SeaFury. 😁

I also have a better basket on the way, but it's taking longer to arrive.

A photo of three people smiling at the camera. There's me at the very right, a white man with a red beard wearing a Metallica t-shirt and while you can't see it, I'm holding a guitar. To the left is Hob, a lanky white man with shoulder-length curly hair and a bass guitar on his back while he's sitting at an electronic piano, and then on the other side is Dan, an Asian man with... uh... not long but also not short hair? He's sitting at a Roland electronic drum kit. The floor of the space we're in is a bit of a mess of wires.

And last on the agenda today was a jam session after work!

A photo of the box of a "Black Titanium" iPhone 16 Pro. The box art has phone itself showing that standard swirly abstract art that Apple uses.

Secondly, picking up a new iPhone 16 Pro to replace my trusty iPhone 11 Pro!

(Thirdly, I have a dentist appointment at 3pm but I'm not taking a photo of that. 😛)

(TEETH.)

A photo of a round table with Magic the Gathering cards all over it (it's a four-player game).

A photo of a bowl of chilli con carne with rice, veggies, and a big dollop of sour cream.

I'm in the office today for ALL OF THE THINGS. First up, playing Magic the Gathering at lunch with the usual pre-COVID crew. 😁

They changed caterers for the hot food a few months ago and man, they're doing a bang-up job. Day was chilli con carne and it was delicious.

A photo of the box of a Boss ME-90B bass guitar multi-effects pedal. The "pedal" is more of a board, it's very large and a dark blue colour and is absolutely festooned with dials.

Huzzah, the last bit of my order arrived! Very excited to be able to get significantly more interesting bass tones now.

A photo looking directly up at the sky with six black and yellow helicopters mid-flight. The three at the front are in triangle formation and the three at the rear are in the same formation but a bit further back. The sky is blue and filled with wispy clouds.

Very weird thing just earlier this evening as I was leaving the house to pick @yayKM up from the station: I heard this unusually noisy helicopter sound, looked around and it wasn't a single helicopter but SIX, all flying in formation! They kept that exact formation the whole way until I lost sight of them behind the trees.
