A photo of beef Pad See Ew on a plate. It looks (and was) delicious!

A photo of dessert which was billed as "banana with sticky rice and ice cream". The banana seemed like it'd been smushed and shaped around a core of bean paste. Not very appetising-looking but was really tasty.

Kristina had a sudden hankering for Thai tonight so we went to our local Thai restaurant and it was excellent as always.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying upside down basically on my foot. I'm standing at my standing desk and the photo is taken looking directly down, with my leg and foot visible towards the left of frame.

The same small scruffy blonde dog, but this time he's kind of rolled over on his side but is still on my foot.

Beanie's decided that my foot is the right place to lie this morning.

A photo of a Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team board with home-made desert and ramshackle junkyard-style terrain on it.

A photo of nine six-sided dice, three of them are sixes, two are fives, and there's two twos and two threes.

We played another (partial) game of Kill Team tonight! And for the first time EVER, everything was fully painted. 😮 We only got a turn and a half in thanks to us taking a while to set everything up, but we're definitely getting the hang of it.

I was playing Death Guard, and they have a rule called "Disgustingly Resilient" where if they would lose a wound, you roll a D6 and on a roll of 5+ the wound is not lost. It doesn't matter how many wounds, just ANY wound. One of them was attacked and was going to be dealt 9 wounds (out of a total of 12), but my Disguisingly Resilient roll was amazing and I was able to reduce it down to 4. 😂

A photo of an Astra Militarum Scion from Warhammer 40,000, basically a regular human trooper except I've replaced the regular male head with a third-party female one that has a military cap on. She's got her mouth open like she's yelling, and is wielding a chainsword and laspistol. The base is all done and looks like snow and it's got a couple of little winter shrubs on it as well.

Okay I lied, I COULD be bothered breaking out the airbrush for one single miniature. She's all finished now! Next stop, the other thirteen members of the squad. 😅

I've finished off the test model for my new Scion squad, and I am absolutely STOKED at how well she came out, in particular her face and eyes! She's not FULLY finished yet, I still need to apply varnish and then put the snow sprinkles and winter bushes on the base (oops, and also paint the lens on the thing beside her head which I didn't notice I hadn't painted until I was looking at it just now), but I can't be bothered pulling out the airbrush and setting it up and cleaning it out again for just one single miniature.

I'd signed up to Duncan Rhodes' Painting Academy a couple of months ago, the videos are fantastic and clear and extremely well-produced, and I used his technique and colours for the face in particular. It's all of £4/month and there's a ton of videos and more added weekly.

A photo of a three-player game of Warhammer Underworlds, a hex-based board game with miniatures and cards. Lady Harrow's Mournflight (four flowing spirits) are at the left, The Crimson Court (four elegant vampires in silver and bronze armour with red cloaks) are at the right, and across the other side of the board are Hrothgorn's Mantrappers (a huge ogre with a crossbow/bear trap launcher, a sabretooth tiger, and four goblins).

We had Ben over again today for a Beanie visit and some Warhammer Underworlds. The Beanie visit went very well, we didn't even give Beanie any of his medicine and he'd pretty well calmed down inside of ten minutes! Warhammer Underworlds ended up being extremely close, Ben and I tied for the win on 10 glory, and Kristina got 9!

And then we went to a pub near us for dinner and I had a burger and it was excellent. 👌🏻

A photo of the head of a small scruffy blonde dog, he's lying in my lap resting his head on my stomach and looking up at me while the rest of his body is hidden underneath my desk.

Current Beanie status.

A photo of a pork schnitzel on top of chips, with some sort of pickled cabbage (it didn't taste like sauerkraut) and pickled beetroot things with a pasta salad thing as well.

Well, the food was actually delicious, but I'm pretty sure they had exactly one person in the kitchen and one fryer to make the food with because it took over an hour for it to arrive. Definitely not bothering with that place again.

A wide-angle photo of the inside of a big community hall with blue-grey carpet and a bunch a wooden-topped trestle tables, with plenty of people sitting at them.

We've gone out to dinner at an allegedly German beer hall, except it's actually in a Croatian cultural centre and the tables are trestle tables and it's possibly the daggiest place I've ever eaten.

A photo of 13 miniatures, 12 in plain grey plastic and one light grey resin, all heavily armoured. They're all wielding various guns, one is waving a huge regimental standard above her head, and the leader is standing on a rock wearing a military cap with her cloak billowing out from behind her while she aims a plasma pistol. The heads of all the grey plastic ones are shiny pewter instead of being plastic and are mostly wearing berets, and they're all clearly female.

There we go, the entire all-women squad of Scions is finished! Super-happy with my conversions here, next stop is to do a full zenithal base coat with the airbrush (full black undercoat followed by white sprayed from the just top 45 degrees or so of the miniature so it's highlighted where light would naturally fall).
