A selfie looking down a long table in a pub, with a bunch of people smiling at the camera.

A photo of a large knitted chicken in green and brown wool. There's nothing for scale but it's probably a good 20cm high.

Today marks fifteen years that @yayKM and I have been married! We met up at our local pub for lunch with a bunch of friends and it was most excellent. And @wobin knitted us an amazing anniversary present, a large chicken who we are naming Agatha! 😂

A photo taken from a low angle, looking back at me (a white man with a short red beard) sitting on a lounge with a small scruffy blonde dog lying with his head on my leg, looking very large thanks to the angle of the photo.

Current status: settled in to watch the latest episode of Taskmaster.

A selfie of me, a white man with a short red beard and receeding hairline, wearing head-mounted set of magnifying eyeglasses. The headset itself is white and the lenses are a single piece of almost sunglasses-shaped hard plastic that attaches to the front of the headset and can be moved forwards or backwards. My eyes look freakishly large because I'm looking directly through the lenses at the camera.

My eyesight is definitely still very good, but I _do_ need extra magnification when I'm painting eyeballs on my miniatures because they're so damn tiny (the best technique is to paint the whole eyeball black, then put a white dot at the very left and right so you just have the black in the middle looking like the pupil). I've had a magnifying glass on a arm attached to the side of my painting table for a few years and it helps but even with that I've been finding it tricky, it doesn't quite magnify enough without ending up with the end of the paintbrush awkwardly close to the magnifying glass. A friend has a set of those headset magnifying thingies, so I looked at a bunch and bought a set for myself, from https://visionaidmagnifier.com. It's got a couple of LEDs in it and there was the choice of a USB-rechargeable one or a 3x AAA battery one, so I went with the latter since I'm very unlikely to need any additional lighting given how brightly lit my painting table is. The handiest bit is that it comes with five different magnification strengths and you can easily swap them out, change the angle, and move them closer or further away from your eyes.

A selfie of me, a white man with a short red beard and short brown hair, and my friend, a darker-skinned man with short hair wearing a collared shirt. I'm holding my bass guitar (though you can't see much of it beyond the neck strap), and my friend is holding a black electric guitar. We're both smiling at the camera.

A photo of a big white dish with smoked pulled pork in it that's been all pulled apart. There's an absolutely magnificent-looking pink smoke ring in the pieces of meat.

Awww yeah, had a friend over for music and pulled pork today! Haven't lost the knack, the pork was in for a bit under seven hours and came out gooooooood. I also didn't realise that it'd been an entire year since I'd last used the smoker, oops. Related, I am EXTREMELY full right now.

A photo of a big bowl of ramen, with a bunch of garlic on top.

A photo of four people looking at the camera and smiling. They're sitting around a table with empty ramen bowls in it.

Caught up with @[email protected], @[email protected], and @wobin for delicious delicious ramen tonight. 👌🏻

A selfie of four people sitting around a restaurant table smiling at the camera. Shlee has long dark hair and a beard, s0 has long curly hair pulled back into a bun, yayKM has short bright red hair, and I have short brown hair and a red beard.

Tonight we had a mini-fediverse meetup, lovely to see @[email protected] again, and to meet @shlee in person!

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.
