That was certainly a lot more hail than we've received in a while!

A photo of the rear of five partially-painted miniatures. They've all got long flowing cloaks, and two of them have lizard skin cloaks which are a dull green colour on the scales and faded up into a desaturated yellow colour on the knobbly bits that are obviously from the middle of the lizards' backs.

My last five Corsair Voidscarred are coming along nicely. I did the base coating of their capes tonight (no highlights yet) and did wet blending with Contrast paints for the first time for the two with the lizard skin cloaks. Really pleased with how they came out, many thanks to @[email protected] for the inspiration!

A photo of nine Tupperware containers in three-by-three pattern, each filled with half rice and half a rich red chicken curry with peas, green beans, carrots, and corn in it.

And three and a half hours later the chicken has pretty much fallen apart, and we're done! I'll be having it with eggplant pickle and Greek yoghurt and it's going to be gooooooood.

A big saucepan with a rich red chicken curry cooking in it. There's green beans, corns, carrot, and peas visible as well.

Absolutely miserable weather here today, good day to put on a giant batch of chicken curry with tons of veggies to have for lunches during the week.

A photo of four miniatures. They're basically space elf pirates, all their armour is elegant and flowing and a rich burgundy colour, and they have cool turquoise capes and three of them have either a full mask or rebreathers on. The first the has a long sword in one hand and has a bird that's just taken flight from his other hand, the second is holding up a big gem in front of her in the same sort of way that movies depict people holding up crosses to ward off vampires, the third has a hood on and is holding two short blades out on either side like she's just finished slicing someone to ribbons, and the last is kneeing while looking down the sights of a sniper rifle. All but the hooded one have very punk-looking hair: bright-coloured with top-knots and half-shaved heads.

Next four Corsair Voidscarred: done. The Aeldari certainly do love their gems, and I've definitely gotten painting them down to a fine art!

A photo of a small scruffy blonde side lying down against the wall that's directly behind my desk.

Time to change position! Unfortunately this is the position that ends up with him being accidentally kicked when I change where my feet are resting.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on the floor in the gap between the wall and the leg of my standing desk.

Beanie has made himself comfortable under my desk.

A photo of four mostly-painted miniatures. They're basically space elf pirates, all their armour is elegant and flowing and a rich burgundy colour, and they have cool turquoise capes and three of them have either a full mask or rebreathers on. The first the has a long sword in one hand and has a bird that's just taken flight from his other hand, the second is holding up a big gem in front of her in the same sort of way that movies depict people holding up crosses to ward off vampires, the third has a hood on and is holding two short blades out on either side like she's just finished slicing someone to ribbons, and the last is kneeing while looking down the sights of a sniper rifle.

Very happy with how my next four Corsair Voidscarred for Kill Team are coming along!

A photo of two round golden-brown loaves of bread covered in flour, sitting on a cooling rack.

Finally did another batch of bread, and hot damn does it look good. My bread log says the last batch I made was right before Christmas! (I've been enjoying making big batches of rice-based lunches in the pressure cooker and just bunging that into the microwave to have for lunch when working rather than making bread, so I can spend less time getting a toastie prepared and cooked and more time doing drum practice.)

A photo of a mug sitting on a white kitchen counter. The mug has a faux-Celtic design around handle and the outside, with a big white wolf head sitting in a dark blue oval in the middle of the body of the mug. It's not obvious from the photo but the whole thing is actually 3D, not just printed onto the surface.

It's 19:45 and still 30˚C outside. Good weather for a dark and stormy in the wonderfully tacky wolfshead mug that @yayKM bought me a few years back!
