A selfie of me, a white man with short brown hair and an increasingly-scruffy-looking red beard, wearing a black Darth Vader t-shirt. I'm wearing a set of headphones and am holding an extremely handsome-looking bass guitar, a Yamaha BB-434 in Tabacco Sunburst (the colour starts in the middle of the body as a rich deep orange/red colour and fades to black as it gets towards the edge of the body). My iPad is sitting on the standing desk next to me, paused in the middle of a lesson from Josh Fossgreen's "Beginner to Badass" bass guitar course (highly recommended if you're interested in learning bass).

Current status: BASS.

A selfie of three people sitting around a dining table. There's me, a white man with a red beard and short brown hair, Pete, a white man with slightly longer brown hair and a much larger brown beard, and Kristina, a white woman with short brown hair. We're all smiling at the camera.

A photo of a big bowl of chicken katsu don sitting on top of rice. There's a small glass of sake just visible at the top of the frame.

Japanese for dinner with @[email protected]! Excellent food and excellent company, A++ would dinner again. I got the chicken katsu don and have been thoroughly enjoying having sake with my Japanese dinners when I have them, it's such a nice accompaniment.

A selfie of me and five other people sitting around a table with a bunch of empty plates and bowls on it. Everyone is smiling the camera.

Aww yeahhhhh, work-paid-for team lunch at New Shanghai in Westfield. 😎

A photo of five people, three men and two women, smiling at the camera, with a number of partially full dishes sitting on the table.

It was lovely to see @[email protected] and @koosli in person again, and to meet @[email protected] for the first time! Definitely would not recommend Time For Thai near Central though, my dish was extraordinarily bland and @yayKM's was inedibly fishy. 👎🏻

A selfie of me, a white man with an increasingly scruffy beard and brown hair. I'm smiling at the camera while a brown labradoodle is sitting with her butt and back legs on my lap, and a second tan one is mid-movement on my left.

Lovely to catch up with @ausfestivus today! One of his dogs spent most of the visit on me or attempting to get attention from me, including just straight-up using me as a seat.

A selfie of me, a white man with a short red beard and short hair, wearing a pair of sleek, dark, frameless sunglasses.

New sunglasses day! I know this ordinarily would be completely unremarkable, but these are replacing the ones I've had for almost fourteen years that I bought on my very first trip to visit @yayKM when she was still living in the US. They were broken from a small child stepping on them when I was over playing music at my friend's house a couple of weeks ago. 😭 The original pair were the style "Dash AF" style from Native Eyewear which has since been consumed by the horrible massive conglomerate Luxottica but I managed to find an alternative (thanks to Reddit's r/sunglasses in fact) that looks almost identical and the company is still independent, "Parallel 2" from Smith Optics.

A photo of four people, two men with with beards (one beard is short and red, the other long and grey) and receding hairlines and two women with short hair, smiling at the camera.

I went for a brisk (emphasis on brisk... the "feels like" temperature was 3.7˚C) walk along the bridge next to the hotel just before sunset to get my Apple Watch exercise ring closed and got a cool shot of Black Mountain Tower: https://www.flickr.com/photos/virtualwolf/52976612243/in/album-72177720309063596/lightbox/ Then we had Japanese for dinner and it was wonderful to meet @[email protected] and @[email protected] in person!

A photo of me, a white man with an increasingly-scruffy-looking red beard, holding a bass guitar and smiling at the camera. My friend is sitting behind me holding a guitar and looking at a large TV where the basic chord progression for Metallica's Nothing Else Matters.

We had our combination barbecue/jam session today, it was great fun! It was hilarious though, my friend's younger brother is an actual muso and can legit play, to the extent that he's actually playing a gig tomorrow. He kept trying to tell us stuff (like "So you want to start with a diminished fifth" or whatever) and it was just WAY over our heads and I kept saying, "Look, you're very much overestimating how much skill and knowledge we both have." 😂

A photo of a plate of beer-battered fish on top of hot chips, with a salad on the side.

A wide-angle shot of a beach with pale yellow sand and low waves and blue sky with some wispy clouds. There's lots of beach volleyball stuff set up because there was a volleyball tournament going on.

A photo of two men (me with a short red beard and short hair, and @dezwart with a goatee, glasses, and long hair pulled back into a ponytail) and two women (@dezwart's wife with long brown hair and glasses, and @yayKM with short pink hair) sitting at an outdoor table with dinner plates in front of us that have just the scraps of food left on them. On the chair next to me are two cavoodles, one large dark brown one who has his front paws up on @dezwart's lap, and the other one a smaller caramel-coloured one with her back to the camera and looking intently at the other dog.

That was an A+ day! We went down to Wollongong for lunch with friends at North Beach, I got fish and chips for the first time in YEARS and it was excellent. Then after that went over to visit @dezwart and his lovely wife and their two doggos and had a delicious barbecue dinner!
