A photo of a square white baking dish with something that's been topped with egg.

This weekend is one of our semi-regular visits with the nearly-sixteen year-old, and we made bobotie again! The house smells amazing right now.

A photo taken from my perspective looking down at my lap. My iPad and Magic Keyboard are on my lap, my left hand is on the keyboard, and there's a small scruffy blonde dog lying across my lap with his head on my left wrist.

And now we had another batch of rain and thunder come through and Beanie needed to be all up on me. Makes it slightly difficult to type though.

A photo of the start of a game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's set on a hex-based board, the art on the board looks like it's bunch of gnarled tree roots. Closest to the camera are the Gorechosen of Dromm, a three-fighter warband of large warriors, and on the other side are Khagra's Ravagers, a four-fighter warband of smaller but more heavily-armoured warriors.

Mid-week gaming this week was Chaos vs. Chaos in Warhammer Underworlds: the Gorechosen of Dromm against Khagra's Ravagers!

It ended up being a draw at 10-10, but I was extremely happy with that because JESUS CHRIST @[email protected]'s rolling was on FIRE. I think he saved against every single attack I made for the like the first turn and a half with the exception of one initial wallop from the Gorehulk, but the most ridiculous was me rolling two dice on attack and rolling two crits, and to avoid Khagra dying he needed to roll two crits on defence ...which he pulled off.

I guess it makes up for the absolute wholloping I gave him last time. 😅

A photo of the rear of five partially-painted miniatures. They've all got long flowing cloaks, and two of them have lizard skin cloaks which are a dull green colour on the scales and faded up into a desaturated yellow colour on the knobbly bits that are obviously from the middle of the lizards' backs.

My last five Corsair Voidscarred are coming along nicely. I did the base coating of their capes tonight (no highlights yet) and did wet blending with Contrast paints for the first time for the two with the lizard skin cloaks. Really pleased with how they came out, many thanks to @[email protected] for the inspiration!

A photo of nine Tupperware containers in three-by-three pattern, each filled with half rice and half a rich red chicken curry with peas, green beans, carrots, and corn in it.

And three and a half hours later the chicken has pretty much fallen apart, and we're done! I'll be having it with eggplant pickle and Greek yoghurt and it's going to be gooooooood.

A big saucepan with a rich red chicken curry cooking in it. There's green beans, corns, carrot, and peas visible as well.

Absolutely miserable weather here today, good day to put on a giant batch of chicken curry with tons of veggies to have for lunches during the week.

A photo of a fully set up game board of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. The terrain is all very ramshackle and looks like it's straight from a junkyard.

We had a four-player game of Kill Team today! Turns out I'm pretty shit at playing my team (Imperial Guard) and I barely did anything and got mostly shot off the board. I came third and that was because the fourth guy was having fun just blowing shit up and wasn't actually playing objectives, heh.

Though in retrospect, I don't think the terrain was really set up very well, there was a lack of heavy cover around the deployment zones which meant I had to be bunched up and in conceal to avoid being murdered on the first turn.

A photo of four miniatures. They're basically space elf pirates, all their armour is elegant and flowing and a rich burgundy colour, and they have cool turquoise capes and three of them have either a full mask or rebreathers on. The first the has a long sword in one hand and has a bird that's just taken flight from his other hand, the second is holding up a big gem in front of her in the same sort of way that movies depict people holding up crosses to ward off vampires, the third has a hood on and is holding two short blades out on either side like she's just finished slicing someone to ribbons, and the last is kneeing while looking down the sights of a sniper rifle. All but the hooded one have very punk-looking hair: bright-coloured with top-knots and half-shaved heads.

Next four Corsair Voidscarred: done. The Aeldari certainly do love their gems, and I've definitely gotten painting them down to a fine art!

A photo of the New South Wales senate ballot paper expanded to its full width, with a ton of boxes to tick on it. It's in a cardboard voting booth and is large enough that the sides of the paper go up the sides of the booth (the booth is maybe 60cm wide).

A photo of my hand holding a bread roll with sausage, bacon, egg, onion, and tomato sauce on it.

Well, that was the longest I've had to wait to vote, but I was still in and out in under 20 minutes.

Comically large senate ballot paper: check.

Democracy sausage: check.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde side lying down against the wall that's directly behind my desk.

Time to change position!

Unfortunately this is the position that ends up with him being accidentally kicked when I change where my feet are resting.
