A photo of the front-half of a small scruffy blonde dog who's lying in a patch of sunshine.

This is the snoozy face of someone who's just had his first chemo treatment.

His UTI is completely gone, his bloodwork looks perfect, and we've got him booked in for three weeks for his next treatment which is an injection. Crossing fingers he responds well to it all. 🤞🏻

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on a blue/green blanket on the floor next to a white bookshelf. His body is in the blanket but the side of his head is resting on the edge of the bottom shelf of the bookshelf which seems like it would be very uncomfortable but is apparently not.

He's got a whole nice soft blanket at his disposal, but instead rests his head on the sharp edge of the bookshelf.

A photo of four people sitting in an Irish pub smiling at the camera.

A photo of a slice of dark chocolate cake with white icing on top alongside some berries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The first Sydney Fediverse meet was a great success. It was fantastic to finally see @[email protected], @[email protected] (and his non-Fediverse wife), and @[email protected] in person! Also I had a dark chocolate and Guinness cake and it was gooood.

We've all decided we need to do this again except also with @[email protected] and @[email protected] in attendence next time.

A slightly arty photo (i.e. taken with portrait mode so there's a nice narrow depth of field) of a slice of smoked salmon sitting on a plate alongside three golden-brown hash browns and a pile of scrambled eggs.

What an excellent dinner that was. Hash browns, scrambled eggs, and Aldi smoked salmon (which while not the best, was still surprisingly tasty).

A photo of seventeen little pots of miniature paint, plus a roll of "Green Stuff" which is used for modelling and filling gaps in miniatures.

PAINTS FOR THE PAINT GOD! SHADES FOR THE SHADE THRONE!

Games Workshop brought out a new selection of their "Contrast" line of paints in new colours and with new some formulations, very excited to start using them. They've really been a game-changer in terms of giving excellent results but also being really fast to paint. And you can make some sweet effects with them too, by thinning them out and painting them atop other colours, especially metallics.

A photo of two round golden-brown loaves of spread with an excellent splitting on the top of each of them, sitting on a cooling rack.

Made some quality loaves today.

A photo of a golden-looking drink in a fancy whisky glass.

Made myself a winter daiquiri!

Not sure I've ever had one before, but it's pretty delicious. I used 8-year Ratu spiced rum and Venezuelan "Diplomatico" rum in place of the two in the recipe. (Yes I'm aware it's not remotely the right glass, but this is all we have.)

A photo of two cooling racks full of flat, golden-brown cookies. On some of them, there's chunks of chocolate sitting up in the cookie and they look very neat and tidy. On most of the others, the chocolate has totally melted and turned into more of a chocolate coating.

Well, that's annoying. I decided to make another batch of rosemary chocolate chunk cookies but didn't have enough left of the block of chocolate I use (Darrell Lee's dark chocolate) so bought another at the shops the other day. Apparently they've changed their formulation because the chocolate from the new block COMPLETELY melted, versus the older block that stayed pretty much intact in chunks. I guess it won't really change the flavour, but it's going to be significantly messier to eat!

A photo looking over a grassy field/hill with massive sewer pipe segments visible at the left, a big digger in the middle of it, and a bunch of chonky unit blocks in various states of construction beyond it.

RIP the pony club that used to be here. 😞

A photo of the "Ferratonic Incinerator" terrain from Warhammer 40,000. It's a massive rusty-looking cylindrical furnace with a platform on top and a gantry that extends across to the right. There's all sorts of pipes and wires and controls all over the whole thing and it's borderline steampunk but also very industrial.

I decided to mix it up a bit and today completed one of the huge pieces of terrain that I got in the old Kill Team box back in 2019. Pretty pleased with how it came out, given I only started it last night! I think the trick is to ignore all the crazy fine detail and just do broad colours, and just pick out a few key details at the end.
