A photo of my standing desk in its upright position, with a Yamaha BB-434 bass guitar sitting to the left of the desk, and Logic Pro showing on the main computer display.

Current status: totally ripping off @futzle@old.mermaid.town's chord progression from I'm Staying Home This Christmas for my own song I'm noodling around with. 😁

A photo of the little LCD display we have showing that the outdoor temperature is 42˚C.

I went outside to bring the bin up and I can confirm that it feels that hot.

A photo of four pieces of chicken thigh on a barbecue grill, they're quite yellow/orange because of the turmeric and they have big black crispy stripes across them because I just flipped them over.

Aw yiss, good barbecuing weather. Tumeric chicken marinade. 👌🏻

Oh wow, I ordered a Lowen band hoodie from Bandcamp and received it today, with a personal note from the lead singer saying "Thanks so much for supporting Lowen, . Sorry it took a while to arrive, hope you enjoy the hoodie. Cheers, Nina"! 😮

A photo of our dining table with a Warhammer Quest game set up on it. There's lots of cards and dice everywhere, and in middle are a bunch of variously-shaped tiles connected together that look like the inside of a set of buildings. There are four hero miniatures at the right (one heavily-armoured warrior woman with a sword, a vampire hunter with a long leather coat and a big hat, a steampunk dwarf, and a priest with a rich red robe and a big staff) plus ten skeleton warriors at various points on the board. They're wearing rusty armour and tattered red cloaks, though four are unpainted because I haven't gotten around to them yet. There's also Watch Captain Halgrim in the middle who is attired similarly but is carrying a massive halberd.

This afternoon with @wobin we finished off the next Big Bad in our Warhammer Quest adventures, the skeleton warrior Watch Captain Halgrim!

We were all inspired from the first half we did last time, but even so we absolutely destroyed everything, only to realise right at the end after we'd finished that there is a whole separate event table you're meant to roll on at the end of each turn and the bottom half of that is filled with things like "All the skeletons come back". 😬 So uh... oops! For the next game, it's the same sort of journey as this one (destroy another big bad) and we need to have done both before we get to level up to Level 3. I've made a note to remember the new event table, and it's going to be quite the fight because it's against Gorslav the Gravekeeper who not only hits like a truck but also makes zombies a lot nastier as well, and we'll be facing all ten of the zombie miniatures that come in the Cursed City box.

A photo looking along the very tall hedge that's between us and our neighbour. It's very overgrown and looks messy as hell. And when I say tall I mean well in excess of two metres.

The same view, but now the hedge is all neat and tidy.

Trimmed the hedge today before it got too hot.

If you need me, I'll be over here not lifting my arms above about waist level.

A photo of a handsome-looking stainless steel portafilter for an espresso machine. The handle is made of a reddish wood.

Upping my coffee game with a bottomless portafilter, thanks to @SeaFury. 😁

I also have a better basket on the way, but it's taking longer to arrive.

Slow going (I have too many other hobbies completing for my time 😅) but that's the second piece of the Hivestorm terrain finished!

A photo of some sort of striped lizard with very long claws that would have easily been 30cm just from nose to back legs, with its tail being even longer, hanging vertically on the red bricks that make up the outside wall of our house. It's directly in the afternoon sun and was probably wonderfully warm.

We had a visitor today! During our game of Warhammer Quest I got a message from our next-door neighbour with a photo looking out of his kitchen window to the side of our house of this handsome fellow just chilling on the wall.

I went to see if I could retrieve it and deposit it in the bushland across the street it so the Indian mynas didn't attack it, but it was WAY faster than the blue-tongue lizards we normally have to rescue and there was no chance I was going to be able to coax it into a container for relocation, which in turn meant I don't think the mynas would have had any chance of getting it either.

(To be clear, this isn't the photo the neighbour sent, I took it myself because our houses aren't THAT close together. 😅)
