A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on a blue blanket that's on top of his dog bed. His butt is basically hanging off the edge, and his head is at an awkward angle against a power socket in the wall behind him.

He has an entire bed at his disposal, but instead needs to perch on the very edge and snuggle with the power point instead.

We have the weirdest dog.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog sitting directly in front of a closed bedroom door, staring directly at the door.

@yayKM has some stretches and exercises she does that involve lying on the ground. She's doing them in the bedroom with the door closed tonight because every single time she does them, Beanie needs to come in and either get directly in the way, or hump her (or both).

A photo of a bunch (forty-nine if we're being exact) of smallish golden-brown chocolate chip cookies sitting on two cooling racks.

Next, miso chocolate chip cookies.

A photo of a bowl of porridge with butter and brown sugar on top.

Aw yeah, this weekend is going to be a weekend of making delicious food. First up, porridge.

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds game board. It has hex tiles on it, and the artwork looks like the bottom of a forest with gnarled roots everywhere. Closest to the camera are the three miniatures of The Wurmspat, they're all humanoid but corpulent with pustulant skin and extra tentacles coming from various places. At the other end of the board are the six goatmen of Grashrak's Despoilers: two are larger and more intimidating looking, one is holding a giant axe in the air and is gripping the head of someone he just decapitated, and the other four are smaller and shabbier, wielding bows and spears.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on a lounge, with his head and one side directly against a grey foam tray that holds some of the pieces of Warhammer Underworlds.

We played another game of Warhammer Underworlds tonight, @yayKM's filthy goatmen versus my even filthier and significantly more pustulant devotees of Nurgle. It was the lowest scoring game we've had in ages, I managed to get to 9 glory but only right at the end, and @yayKM only got 2. However, she can take solace in the fact that on no fewer than three occasions she needed to roll a critical success in order to not die (essentially rolling a 6 on a regular six-sided die), and managed to pull it off!

Once we'd finished I came back around the lounge to get the bag and put all the pieces away and Beanie had made himself extremely comfortable next to one of the foam trays.

A photo of the box of the Dream Router. The router itself looks like a little squat white cylinder with a ring around the top and a gently curved top and bottom.

New router day! A Ubiquiti "Dream Router".

Our current router is a six year-old Netgear D7800 running OpenWRT and appears to be slowly dying because increasingly often the entire wireless radio just... drops. Like, no devices can see any of the networks, then it'll come back a minute later. Last time this happened we actually had to power-cycle the router entirely because it didn't come back at all.

And while I like the flexibility of OpenWRT, I've managed to fuck things up on a couple of occasions and it feels more like I'm needing to be a sysadmin versus it just being an appliance.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side on the floor, fast asleep. The sun is shining in the window such that just his face and front legs are in sunshine.

It's important to have a warm face.

A photo of me, a white man with an increasingly-scruffy-looking red beard, holding a bass guitar and smiling at the camera. My friend is sitting behind me holding a guitar and looking at a large TV where the basic chord progression for Metallica's Nothing Else Matters.

We had our combination barbecue/jam session today, it was great fun!

It was hilarious though, my friend's younger brother is an actual muso and can legit play, to the extent that he's actually playing a gig tomorrow. He kept trying to tell us stuff (like "So you want to start with a diminished fifth" or whatever) and it was just WAY over our heads and I kept saying, "Look, you're very much overestimating how much skill and knowledge we both have." 😂

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds game board. It has hex tiles on it, and the artwork looks like the inside of a cave. Closest to the camera are Skittershank's Clawpack, which consists five ratmen in various dynamic poses (one of them is in the middle of leaping over a smoke bomb he's just set off). At the other end of the board are the six goatmen of Grashrak's Despoilers: two are larger and more intimidating looking, one is holding a giant axe in the air and is gripping the head of someone he just decapitated, and the other four are smaller and shabbier, wielding bows and spears.

We played some more Warhammer Underworlds tonight, my sneaky tricksy Skaven versus @yayKM's filthy goatmen. I ended up winning 11-8 but MAN was it tight right up until my very last activation of the whole game. The attacks I made in my second last and last activations were absolutely critical, because had I flubbed them — or had @yayKM successfully defended — she would have won 8-5 instead. Fully SIX glory came from killing her leader (two for killing him because he was a Large fighter, and another four from three different objectives)!

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on a green fuzzy blanket exactly where my chair and feet go when I'm sitting at my computer desk.

I turned my chair around and moved it slightly out from my desk so I could talk to @yayKM (her desk is directly behind mine in our home office), and Beanie immediately manoeuvred his blanket in under my desk and made himself comfortable on it. 😑
