A photo taken at night looking towards the end of the train platform. The roofed area ends right in front of where I'm standing so the rest of the station is covered in water and you can see the rain busily bucketing down next to the lights. Overall is just looks miserable (and basically is).

I've been in the office for the second day in a row this week, and am in again tomorrow, because we're having a team event and have flown people in from our other offices, but my god you could not have asked for worse weather. I was originally planning on being in all five days, but Thursday's forecast is for 55-70mm of rain with a chance of thunderstorm that's possibly severe "with heavy rain that may lead to flash flooding", and like fuck I'm dealing with the trains probably melting down during that.

I stayed a bit late because we had an in-office dinner and @yayKM@aus.social was also out for dinner with a friend, and we ended up catching trains only 15 minutes apart so I'm waiting at the train station so we can walk back to the car together.

A night mode photo of seven sheep on a small rise, two standing and the other five lying down. There are trees scattered around and two large white pieces of what looks like twisted roofing material like you'd have on an outdoor shed.

On the up side, I got to say hello to a bunch of sheep on the walk home!

A nighttime photo of some sheep grazing in the front yard of a house. The photo is lit from the street light just behind me so the light fades off as it gets towards the brick house at the back of the yard.

Oh and to top it all off, on the walk home I came across some sheep having a nom!

A photo of the start of a game of Kill Team. The terrain is all ramshackle and looks like it belongs in a junkyard, closest to the camera are the six hulking and pustulant warriors of the Death Guard clan in large green armour, and then on the other side looking almost the complete opposite are ten warriors of the insect-like Vespid Stingwings who have been painted in yellow and have big blue insect wings.

A nighttime photo taken from the 30th floor of our office building, looking not quite directly downwards. There is a tall building directly opposite and some shorter buildings on either side, and you can see the streets quite far below. Most of the windows are lit up, and the train tracks going along George St are visible at the left.

I was in the office today for some after-work Kill Team, took my Plague Marines for their first spin versus the Vespid Stingwings!

It started out well, but I realised that I actually only had two operatives that had unrestricted range weapons (the Malignant Plaguecaster and the Bombardier), and I think I got a bit greedy with them and they were the first two operatives I lost. After that I couldn't recover because all the stuff I needed to shoot at was out of range, and I'd taken the Fighter who has NO ranged weapon at all. He killed one Stingwing and then got pulped. The Heavy Gunner with the Plague Spewer was nasty, but again lacked range, and even the Icon Bearer only had a bolt pistol with an 8" range (in the previous edition he had a boltgun). It also wasn't helped by the fact that the Stingwings' neutron weapons hit HARD. I don't think I used any of the strategic or firefight ploys either, I need to go back and have a better read. We called the game before the end of the second turn, and the Stingwings were already ahead 4-3 and I had only a single guy left.

The Death Guard were still pretty neat though, the Poison token rules are cool and I'm keen to try them again. I ALSO need to paint up my own Stingwings and get them into the rotation because those models are just fantastic-looking. And afterwards, the room in the office that all the Kill Team terrain is stored in had its lights off when we put everything away after the game, which made for an excellent nighttime cityscape shot.

A photo taken at night looking down a suburban street, there are a bunch of compact two-storey houses most of which have coloured strings of lights hanging down the front.

I love all the Diwali lights all the Indian families have out at this time of year, and then as a bonus they can just keep them on through December and suddenly they're Christmas lights!

A photo of inside a restaurant with people sitting at ables. The light levels are fairly low, and there's BIG wicker light fixtures hanging down from the ceiling with tassels hanging from the bottom of the wicker. The wall at the back-left is made from concrete blocks with holes in the middle, and behind THOSE is another wall that's been lit up.

A photo of a half rack of beef ribs and chunky chips on a wooden board. (The board actually made sense for this because it gave lots of room to put the finished ribs on rather than needing a separate bowl.) It looks delicious and it really really was.

A night-time photo looking across a lake with big trees on the shore and the tops of unit blocks poking up behind them.

Topped off the day by going out to Meat & Wine Co. and having ribs, and holy shit it was amazing. 👌🏻The inside of the place was really cool as well, it felt like we were in a super-fancy lounge or something.

A photo of an open-air car park at night, with shade sails and a few cars. It's been raining and the ground is reflecting all the lights.

Kristina and I went out to the shops together for the first time in over three months! 😮 Such a little thing but we both missed doing the shopping together.

A photo of a Mac mini on a small shelf with a Raspberry Pi next to it. The power LED on the Pi is emitting a REALLY deep rich red. Under the shelf are two external hard disks with blue LEDs in them, and to the left of them is a dubious-looking ceramic chicken. There's no light at all apart from what's coming from the LEDs.

I saw the red light from the Raspberry Pi glowing in the dark and figured it might make a neat Night Mode shot.

I wasn't wrong! This was the maximum 10 second exposure.
