A photo of box of eight Vallejo metallic airbrush paints in various shades, plus a medium grey, blue grey, rust, and orange rust.

Woohoo, my airbrush paints arrived! Now to hopefully not fuck it up while I'm using them to paint my Kill Team terrain...

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on top of a pair of folded-up jeans on the floor.

We heard a noise, looked over, and Beanie had made himself completely comfortable on Kristina's jeans.

A photo of the initial setup of a game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's a miniatures board game played on boards with hexagonal tiles, closest to the camera are four armoured vampires with pale blue skin and red cloaks, with blood dripping from their weapons and the corners of their mouths, and on the other side are four lithe and lightly-armoured elves.

It's been quite a while but we played some more Warhammer Underworlds tonight! The Crimson Court (vampires) versus Myari's Purifiers (elves), I played the vampires which I realised I hadn't actually played before, and won 10-5 despite a very poor start.

A photo of four plastic food containers with yellow rice, black beans, sliced green beans, and chunks of chorizo.

We've had a tin of black beans sitting in the cupboard for like a year, because Kristina can't eat them anymore. Finally got around to using them and I made a batch of Spanish rice with them and chorizo to have during the week, and it is gooood.

A photo taken from a low angle of the side of a small scruffy blonde dog who's looking off-camera to the right, with me — a white man with a short red beard and a rapidly-receding hairline — sitting on the ground behind him with my legs stretched out.

There's a very angry patch of thunderstorm rapidly approaching so Beanie is insisting I sit on the floor with him.

The setup is complete! ...at least until my new guitar arrives, and also until I inevitably decide I want more guitar pedals and thus need to build a longer pedalboard. 😅 Man, that delay pedal is such fun. If you set one single repeat and set the delay before the repeat occurs to the right timing, you can get it to essentially play notes in between what you're playing, so it sounds like you're playing more. Or you can set a really long delay with lots of repeats and lower the intensity, and it sounds like you're in a vast hall. Or you can go in between those and just get a much fatter-sounding tone.

A photo of a Boss DM-2W analogue delay guitar pedal. It's a shiny sort-of-magenta colour, with three dials on the top for repeat rate, intensity, and echo.

Yesssss, very excited to play around with this tonight!

A photo of my Morningstar relay switching interface. It's a small blue metallic box with two TRS jacks and a DC in jack on the front, and three LEDs on the top marked "RING", "TIP", and "POWER".

Huzzah, the relay interface finally arrived! Next step, figuring out how best to configure the MIDI controller to activate the interface in terms of ease of usage...

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on a green blanket, which is sitting directly in front of a doorway.

Beanie's new favourite thing is to very carefully manoeuvre his blanket to be exactly in the doorway and then plonk himself down on it.

A photo of a little garden in front of a bay window. The whole "garden" maybe 1.5 metres wide and covered in red mulch, and at the front are two very lavender plants busily blooming with flowers.

I don't think you can tell from the photo, but there's a good three or four bees buzzing around our lavender at the moment! Now, hopefully these lavenders don't randomly up and die like the last two lots did (granted the previous ones were in the ground and the soil is CRAZY thick with clay here, so I think that significantly contributed to their demise).
