A photo taken from my perspective looking straight down towards the floor. I'm standing in front of the kitchen counter where there's a partially sliced round loaf of bread on the cutting board, and standing right by my feet looking directly upwards is a very hopeful-looking small scruffy blonde dog.

The SECOND I start cutting into the bread, Beanie is over like a shot waiting for fallout and the inevitably scrappy end piece I give him.

Related, my kingdom for some sort of household-sized automatic bread slicing machine like Coles and Woolies have in their bakeries.

A photo of a bottle of Kraken spiced roast coffee rum, a Boss "Blues Driver" guitar pedal, a box of 300 miniature skulls for decorating my various Games Workshop miniature bases, and a black t-shirt with a dark on the front that looks like Darth Vader but he's made up of the Death Star and Storm Troopers and TIE Fighters.

Christmas loot!

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog sitting upright on his haunches.

Beanie is demanding his pre-bed scritches.

A photo of my iPad sitting on our elliptical machine's tablet holder. On the screen is the classic image of the stargate from the show "Stargate SG-1": a large circular metal-looking ring with Egyptian hieroglyphs around the outside, and the middle is filling with a blue glowing almost-liquid.

Time to start some more classic 1990s TV!

I'm about 95% sure this is going to end up in the same boat as Star Trek, both TNG and DS9, and I'll remember a handful of episodes but haven't actually seen the vast majority of them before.

A photo of the front of our house, to the left is the front door and in the middle of the photo is a big box window with a little garden in front of it. The garden has wooden beams separating it from the lawn and is covered in red mulch. There's two tall conifers in white pots in the middle, two, uh... I'm not sure what type of trees they are, but they're smaller and in blue pots to either side of the conifers, then some fairly sad-looking lavender also in blue pots in front of those. There's also a small jade plant and a kalanchoe in little pots at the left of the garden, and a little happy cow statue that's had most of the paint on it completely worn away.

Good weather for some gardening today, I (mostly) straightened the conifers, trimmed the lavender, and put some fresh mulch down.

A photo taken from my perspective looking down at my lap while I'm sitting on our lounge. A small scruffy blonde dog is lying on his side half asleep, with his back hard against the back of the lounge, and his head jammed against and slightly on my right hip.

Beanie has made himself extremely comfortable on my hip while we're watching a doco.

A photo of four 1v1 games of Magic The Gathering going on on a big dining table, with lots of cards laid out everywhere.

Yiewwwww, we had a Magic The Gathering draft of Innistrad at a friend's place tonight, and it was an absolute blast. There were eight of us and we got through three rounds, and I won overall with 2:1 wins for each round. 💪🏻

The setting for Innistrad is a gothic horror one, and it is ABSOLUTELY by far and away my favourite block, so everyone agreed it was fitting that I won, haha. It came out in 2011 and to this day all of my casual constructed decks are from the original three sets, plus the second one that came out a few years later. The flavour levels of all of the cards are just off the charts.

A photo of our little temperature/humidity display showing that it's 45.1˚C outside, and a very comfortable 25.2˚C inside.

This is too hot. Not a fan.

A wide-angle photo of a not-very-large bedroom. In the far corner is a relatively small exercise bike, with three guitars wall-mounted to the right of it and two eye-searing orange guitar amps to the left. At the far left is our existing elliptical which is now facing the window instead of being in the corner where the exercise bike is.

Our treadmill started making some fairly horrendous grinding noises a few weeks ago, we got a guy out to take a look and it turned out the bearings in both the front and rear rollers were shot. And annoyingly, we couldn't get replacement parts because the machine is ten years old and they don't make them anymore. We decided to downsize to an exercise bike instead, it was delivered today and we did some rearranging and now my guitar amps have a better place to live instead of being all jammed under my desk!

A photo of my iPad sitting on the tablet holder on our elliptical. On the screen is the closing shot from the very last episode of Voyager showing the ship itself flying in towards Earth.

Phewwwww, that's the final episode of Star Trek: Voyager finished! All seven seasons done, and with that, all of my 1990s Star Trek watching finished.

I feel like Voyager got a bad rap, I quite enjoyed it. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it was up to the standards of Deep Space Nine but I enjoyed following the crew and getting to know them all, and I was sad when Neelix stayed behind in the Delta Quadrant with his new family.

I was a bit meh on Star Trek: Picard overall but I absolutely want to see the continuing adventures of Captain Seven of Nine even more now.
