A photo of fourteen of the REALLY old mid-90s hexagonal-shaped paint pots from Games Workshop in various colours, along with three inks from the slightly newer screwtop type, and one from the slightly newer again round pop-top type.

I have a group chat going with three other friends that paint miniatures and we were talking about our really old Citadel paint pots. I went out the back to check mine, and ALL of these are still good. A number of them would date back to 1995 when I first got into Warhammer 40,000. 😮

I wonder how long they'd last once I opened them up again though...

A photo taken from above a table of a four player game of the card game Munchkin. It's been in progress for a while everyone has lots of cards.

A photo of a Russian Blue cat sitting on the arm of a brown leather armchair.

A photo of an Abyssinian kitten standing on the floor looking up at the camera. There's some motion blur on her head because she would NOT remain still, like ever.

Went over to a friend's place today for lunch and some Munchkin, and we also met their cats! (Not pictured: the third one that's very shy.)

A photo of the board of Warhammer Underworlds. The board is hex-tiled and the art looks like it's in a sea cave or some underwater cavern. The two warbands are the Crimson Court (elegant vampires) and the Grymwatch (flesh-eating ghouls).

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on a tan-coloured lounge with his head on one of the foam trays that I store my miniatures in and one leg hanging off the side of the lounge.

We played our first game of Warhammer Underworlds with the new Harrowdeep rules, and using the two warbands I most recently painted! It was SUPER fun and ended up being a draw at 11 each.

I went over to the lounge to pack things up and unsurprisingly Beanie was entirely amongst it.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side against my leg on a tan-coloured lounge. His head is slightly off the front of the lounge.

A photo of the same scruffy blonde dog but this is taken with the front-facing camera with me holding the phone down in front of where his head is off the edge of the lounge so his head fills the photo. He looks very sleepy. I'm in the background smiling at the camera, a white man with a reddish beard.

Beanie and I have been having a lazy afternoon watching the final season of The Expanse.

A photo of a Necron Warrior from Warhammer 40,000. It's a skeletal metal robot-looking thing, but resembling a zombie in that it's looks like it's shambling, and the head is very Terminator-esque and looks like a skull. Its eyes are green and it's wielding a long alien-looking rifle. The base of the miniature is a rich red colour like the Australian outback and all cracked like the earth is insanely dry.

Got my first Necron done! I kept it pretty simple since I have another nine of them to paint. Check out that base, it's this special paint called Martian Ironearth from Games Workshop that cracks as it dries!

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying entirely upside-down on the floor.

Current Beanie status: very relaxed.

A photo of three boxes of Warhammer 40,000 miniatures: Ork Nobz (thuggish-looking greenskinned aliens with big teeth and a motly assortment of armour and guns), Astra Militarum Tempesus Scions (armoured human soldiers) and a troope of Aeldari Harlequins (lithe humanoid aliens in multicoloured clothing all in dynamic poses, all wearing white harlequin masks).

Got all the boxes I need to create the six squads for Fireteam now. I'd SAY that's the last of the miniature purchases for a while, but we all know that's a filthy lie. 😅

A photo of a little bowl of ice cream with hot fudge on top and multi-coloured sprinkles.

We also made ice cream this morning!

A photo of a bowl of spaghetti with bolognese sauce on top, all covered in grated Parmesan cheese.

I made myself a batch of Quorn-based spaghetti bolognese yesterday, had the first one for lunch today and it's excellent. I'm not sure I'd really have noticed it wasn't beef if I wasn't paying attention!

A photo of two pieces of damper (essentially very basic bread), with flour on top. They've split weirdly in the middle along the horizontal axis though, so it looks like the top half is slowly sliding off the bottom.

On the back of the giant sack of bread flour I've got there's a few recipes for various things, and one of them is damper. I decided to finally get around to making it and it looks pretty good, though I'm not entirely sure what happened with the splitting there.
