A photo of three people sitting around an outdoor pub table. Me, a white man with a short red beard and an *ahem* very receding hairline, Kristina, a white woman with short brown hair, and @burgerdrome, a white man with longer hair that's pulled back and big beard that's been plaited, who is throwing the shaka sign.

Tonight we met up with @burgerdrome for dinner at the pub around the corner from where we're staying!

A photo of a bento box with teriyaki chicken, rice, a couple of pieces of sushi, some spinach and lettuce with a delicious and really light sesame kind of dressing, and a slice of blood orange.

A photo of four people sitting around a restaurant table: me, a man with a short red beard and short brown hair, @yayKM, a woman with short brown hair, @ohthyme, a clean-shaven man with glasses and somewhat short hair who is leaning his head on his girlfriend's shoulder, who is a woman with shoulder length dyed pink hair.

And tonight was absolutely incredible Japanese with @ohthyme and his lovely girlfriend!

A photo of three smiling people sitting at a restaurant table. There's me, a white man with short hair and a red beard that's in need of a trim, @yayKM, a white woman with short light brown hair, and @thewetmale, a white man with dark brown hair pulled back into a ponytail. In front of us are two roti tisu, which are huge cone-shaped sweet Malaysian desert things.

Most excellent to finally meet @thewetmale in person!

A selfie of me, a white man with a red beard, with a blue curtain over half of my head because I'm sitting directly next to the window and the wind keeps billowing the curtains everywhere. Makes a little hard to work.

I've got all the windows in the house open right now, and while it's absolutely glorious, it's also slightly windy.

A photo of the corner of a room that has a whole bunch of musical equipment in it: there are three electric guitars and a bass guitar sitting in a stand at the left, two very large speakers, an electronic drum kit, a MIDI keyboard, and a full size piano at the right that is painted in extremely garish bright colours.

A photo of five smiling people looking at the camera. There's me, a man with short brown hair and a short red beard holding a bass guitar, a tall man with shoulder-length hair sitting down holding an electric guitar, two men sitting at the drum kit each holding one drum stick each, and a woman with long brown hair holding a bright pink ukulele.

The reason I was in the office today was because it turns out we have a whole set of musical instruments in the "wellness room", so a bunch of us decided to get together to play some music!

It was SO FUN! Only two of us could play guitar or bass so I mostly stuck to one of those, and we ended up with two people playing drums together (one person would do the hi-hat and the other would do the kick drum because nobody was coordinated enough to do both together, lol) and we absolutely got into a groove and were rocking out and it was so excellent. It's planned to be a regular thing and I'm so looking forward to the next one.

(There is a group of Very Talented people who get together and play most Wednesdays and Fridays but that was way too intimidating for us so we did our own little thing.)

A selfie of me, a white man with short hair and a short red beard, taken from a very low angle next to my desk chair. On my lap is a small scruffy blonde dog lying with his head draped over the side of my leg.

Furry hot water bottle: deployed.

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 VisionAid. 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.
