A photo of my Roland V-Drums electronic drum kit with my laptop open on a stand behind and to the left of the kit and my iPad being used as a second display for the laptop on the stand in the middle of the drum kit between the cymbals so I can see where in the song I am without needing to look awkwardly over to the left.

Recording part two: let there be drums! I listened to the in-progress mixdown from @[email protected] and used Logic's "Split" function to be able to name the sections of track (Intro, Verse 1, Chorus 1, etc.) and MAN that made it so much easier to follow along and know when to hit the fills!

A photo of my standing desk in its upright position, with an Orange guitar amp and a pedal board with a number of guitar pedals on it sitting at the left and a guitar sitting in a guitar stand on the right. My computer has Logic Pro up on the main display.

Current status. (Recording some tracks for @[email protected] to splice together into something excellent.)

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying completely upside-down on a lounge, fast asleep.

Beanie has absolutely no interest in Taskmaster whatsoever.

A photo of a Roland A-49 MIDI keyboard in white sitting on my (also white) desk. As the name suggests it has 49 keys, and has a number of buttons and knobs on the left hand side.

It look longer than expected, but it's finally here! 🎉 The keys are _very_ nice-feeling, there's a really good weight to them. And I haven't read the manual yet so I have no idea what this is about, but the very lowest key is marked "Panic".

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side with his back wedged into the gap between the floor and the bottom of a blue lounge chair.

Current status: wedged.

Two fully-painted goblin miniatures, they're both very characterful, short, and are wearing black robes. One has a helmet on that leaves his face bare but has a big pointy chin bit in the armour, and is holding a yellow shield in one hand and a sword aloft in the other. The other has a full face mask and you can't actually see his face at all, and he's holding a yellow shield aloft and is carrying what looks like a wooden lance but with a sword blade attached to the end of it.

I'm taking a break from Warhammer Quest and Kill Team to get stuck back into some Warhammer Underworlds! I decided to start the goblins of Grinkrak's Looncourt and have done two of the little fellas so far. I'm just doing the box art scheme because it's simple and I like the look of it, keen to get the other five done and get them onto the table.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying with the side of his face jammed into the corner of the room. Right next to him is a narrow window that's next to our front door, sunlight is streaming in and the dog looks very content.

Beanie loves it when daylight savings hits because it means we're up early enough that he can snooze in the sunshine by the window at the front door.

A photo of a Suhr "Reactive Load / I.R." load box. It's a chonky metal box with curved edges along the top, and several silver dials and switches on the front, plus two seven-segment red LED displays at the left marked "Bank" and "Cab".

First new bit of guitar kit in a while! I already have a load box, but the problem with it is that there's no headphone output which means I need to plug it into my USB audio interface which _does_ have a headphone output but is all wired up to my computer setup, which in turn means I can't play my tube amp anywhere except our home office. This new Suhr one has a headphone output and can be powered from my pedal board power supply so I'll be able to take the amp and pedal board to the front of the house and play with my full setup there, AND it has an auxiliary input as well so I can plug my iPad into it and play along to music or just use GarageBand's backing dummer functionality to have a drum kit to keep in time with. I have to say, though, this thing is significantly larger than I was expecting!

It's started to rain outside and Beanie is getting nervous and demanding lap snuggles.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying completely upside on his back, fast asleep, all four legs up in the air.

Current Beanie status: completely passed out.
