A photo looking down a lawn bowls green (very short, well-manicured grass, similar to a golf course), with a person bending down mid-bowl and a bunch of the balls already at the other end of the green close.

Today we went for a walk from Bondi to Clovelly and then played lawn bowls! I haven't played lawn bowls in so long, definitely well prior to COVID hitting. We were a bit iffy on the finer points of the scoring but I THINK we won. 😅 I also took a handful of "proper" photos on the walk and posted them to Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/virtualwolf/albums/72177720311505668

A photo of the ten miniatures that are my Corsair Voidscarred squad. They're essentially space elf pirates, all their armour is elegant and flowing and a rich burgundy colour, and they have cool turquoise capes. They're branding various ranged and close-combat weapons, and several of them have brightly-coloured mohawks. They each have a personalised name plate attached to the front of their bases, with a smaller bit of text on top that gives the unit type ("Fate Dealer", "Soul Weaver", "Way Seeker", and other such cool-sounding things), and a larger piece of text along the bottom that gives the unit's actual name, which are all sort-of Celtic feeling.

There we go, the nameplates for my #KillTeam Voidscarred are done and attached!

A photo taken from under our carport looking at part of the front yard and the front of the house. The grass is neat and tidy and the edging perfectly done.

A photo looking out at the back yard. The fence is rickety as hell but the grass is neat and tidy here as well. There's two trees in big pots at the left.

I've done the mowing and whippersnippering on every square centimetre of grass and weeds on our block of land, plus a couple of bits of the neighbours' on either side at the street at the front, have done the edging of the driveway, and also manually pulled up a lot of the obnoxious weed/grass that gets everywhere along the back fence. It all looks excellent, and I'm now officially DONE with doing anything that involves moving for today. ::collapses::

A photo of five 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. Two of them have bright coloured mohawks and are holding big alien-looking guns up, one has two large swords and is holding one out in front of him like he's pointing it something, another has a full helmet on and is holding a tall staff with a blue gem at the top, and the last one has a shock of bright red hair and is holding a sword in front of him like he's inspiring the troops, and has a long alien rifle in his other hand.

A photo of the entire squad of all ten Corsair Voidscarred together.

My last five Corsair Voidscarred for Kill Team are done, and that's now the whole squad finished! Very excited to take them for a spin.

A photo of a painted Aeldari miniature (think "space elf"). She's wearing elegant fuchsia-coloured armour with a dark turquoise cape flowing behind her and a bunch of dark leather pouches across her chest, and is holding two bone-coloured alien-looking pistols, one pointing like she's about to shoot and the other one behind her pointing upwards. She's got a cool-looking rebreather on that has an integrated targeting set up over one eye, and she's got a bald head except for a big tall top knot, and her skin is dark brown.

My first #KillTeam Corsair Voidscarred is finished! Now to actually paint the rest of the squad, given I finished my test Genestealer Cults miniature back in January (https://virtualwolf.org/media/posts/2270) and still haven't done any more of those either... 😅

A photo looking over at Sydney Harbour Bridge and towards the CBD itself. Lots of tall buildings are visible, plus of course the Bridge.

A photo taken from towards the side of a stage with a First Nations woman at the microphone and a fellow with a didgeridoo behind her, with a big crowd in the shadows in front of the stage.

A photo taken with several warriors on the stage, they have round shields and spears and are in a circle facing inwards. There's a guy with antlers in his headdress off to the right, and the lighting is very orange/red coloured.

The warriors again, this time in blue lighting. One of them is actually a woman who has no top on and she's holding her spear up in front of her in a defiant manner and is mid-yell.

I went to see #Heilung tonight and HOLY SHIT IT WAS FUCKING EPIC. Legit chills at multiple points during the performance. There was no opening band, but before Heilung themselves came out they had two First Nations people come out and give a bit of a speech and play a short bit of music, and everyone gave them a really good cheer which was wonderful. I decided to stay at a hotel near the venue rather than needing to keep track of the train times (and then having @yayKM wake up from Beanie barking when I got home at like 12:30-1am or whatever). What a brilliant choice that was, and check out the view I was greeted with when I got into my room! I took a ton of photos of the concert, it was equal parts music and theatric performance, and will process and post them tomorrow.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying down on the pavers that are under our pergola. His head is up and he's staring directly at the camera.

Today is Beanie's tenth birthday! @yayKM is in the office today, and whenever that's the case, rather than snoozing with us at the back of the house in our home office, he spends most of his time outside sniffing the breeze and listening to all the neighbourhood noises. He just absolutely does not care what I'm up to if @yayKM isn't home, heh.

A photo of my painting desk setup, with an arch of LED strip lights illuminating the working area, five Skaven (rat-men) miniatures ready to be painted, and a bunch of little pots of paint spread over two shelves.

Friday night status: A Drambuie, a piece of 85% dark chocolate, and finally starting to paint one of the warbands that came in the Warhammer Underworlds: Nethermaze box.

A photo taken at night looking up at three huge tower buildings. The front of them are curved and the lights are mostly blue but with a couple of sections where it's a much warmer, yellow colour. The photo itself is slightly blurry which makes it almost look like it's looking up into clouds which makes the buildings seem even taller.

After Featherdale, we went into the city for dinner at a Chinese restaurant called "Lotus". It was definitely tasty, but WAY overpriced, next time we'd just as soon go to Chatswood and get the same food for about a third to half the price. After that we did a brief wander around Barangaroo, and while this photo isn't the world's best quality (it wasn't even night mode, just the ultra-wide angle lens on my iPhone so it struggled a bit with the low light), I REALLY love the feel of it. Gives me very Bladerunner-esque vibes.

A photo taken from the 30th floor of our office building, looking west across Sydney and Darling Harbour. There's lots of buildings lower than us, it's all overcast and dreary-looking.

I went into the city today for an in-person farewell lunch for our intern, but it turns out she came down sick and couldn't make it. 😞 Completely miserable day too, cold and dreary and rainy. On the bright, the views are still decent and we got Schnitz for lunch!
