A photo of a set of wooden drumsticks, and the boxes of an Ernie Ball "Volt" power supply and a drum practice pad.

Why yes, it IS more music-related things!

I got a teeny little power supply for my yet-to-exist pedal board because I don't want to have to deal with 9V batteries, and a practice drum pad because I've seen multiple (extremely good) drummers mention that every aspiring drummer should have and use one.

A photo of a shiny black electric guitar sitting on a guitar stand.

There we go, one fully restrung and intonated guitar! (I haven't chopped the overhang fully off the top of the strings yet because I'm not convinced I wound them around the tuning pegs enough. Going to give it a couple of days and make sure it's not slipping out of tune.)

I can definitely tell how much brighter the sound is with the new strings, even without having plugged it into the amp yet.

A photo of a set of guitar strings, two guitar wall mounts, two straps, some patch cables for connecting guitar pedals together, some string cleaner/lubricant, some 1-metre instrument cables, and a set of heavy-duty velcro for fastening guitar pedals to a pedal board.

Also my next batch of guitar-related bits and bobs arrived. Looking forward to getting the new strings onto my guitar, I realised it's sounding pretty muddy at this point given I haven't changed them since I bought it two years ago. 😬

A photo of three brown goats in a section of a barn. One of them is standing on top of a short tree stump.

A photo of a grey kangaroo lying on its side, with its torso propped up on its front arms.

A photo of three quokkas, two are huddled together eating seeds and grass off the ground, the other is holding the bottom of one of those very cheap ice cream cones and going to town on it.

Then we went to Featherdale and saw animals! We brought the DSLR and took lots of photos, I'll link them once I've processed and uploaded them.

A photo of a square white ceramic baking dish with delicious-looking chocolate brownie in it.

I made gluten-free brownies for Kristina's birthday! It's a new recipe we haven't tried before so it's possible it'll be awful, but we'll find out this afternoon when we have it.

The load box arrived! It's very cool being able to have my sweet tube amp sounds but also being able to record them straight to the computer without fucking around with a microphone setup.

Alpacas! 🎉

That being said, they weren't nearly as snuggly as the ones we saw in New Zealand a few years ago, they weren't really interested in you unless you had food, and Kristina got spat on right at the start and none of the alpacas wanted the food from her because she smelled like spit.
