A photo looking up over the hedge the next to our house, with a street light and some trees also visible, all silhouetted again the pre-sunrise sky. There's a hint of orange in the sky at the very bottom.

Man, it's been a while since I've been up before sunrise. I think the last time was when we went to New Zealand RIGHT before COVID hit in February of 2020. We're getting our pergola redone (yes, again), this time by someone competent. Had someone in to quote just for getting it fixed, and so much had been done wrong that it made more sense to rip the whole thing down and start it over again in metal rather than timber.

A photo of a bunch of round cookies sitting on two cooling racks. They're golden brown and each one has four chunks of dark chocolate on the top.

Made excellent use of my day off and made a batch of rosemary chocolate chunk cookies. 👌🏻

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side on a green blanket on the floor, looking like he's staring off into the middle distance.

The same dog on the same blanket, but this time he's lying upside down.

A photo of eight Tupperware containers sitting on a bench. They're all filled with half rice and half tomato-based chicken curry with carrots and beans in it.

I made a batch of chicken curry to have for lunches during the week. Didn't realise quite how much it'd make. 😳

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying curled up on a binder that's open on the floor.

Beanie is channeling his inner cat. (Kristina was in the middle of doing some stretches from the binder he's made himself comfortable on.)

A photo of me, a white man with blue eyes and a, uh, let's call it a "large" forehead, with a very fluffy and scruffy-looking full red beard and brown hair that's probably about a centimetre or so long.

Me again, but with an extremely neatly trimmed haircut and beard, done with #2 hair clippers.

Oh my goodness that was a much-needed head shave.

A photo of the box of a Iwata "Smart Jet Pro" airbrush compressor (a black metal box with the ends open and a handle on top, with some vents in middle of the side), a "universal spray-out pot" (a little pot with a lid to spray the airbrush into to clean it out), and a braided hose for connecting the compressor to the airbrush (which it turns out wasn't needed because the compressor comes with a braided hose).

Turns out my compressor arrived sooner than predicted!

IT'S HERE! ...and the compressor isn't coming until next week. 😭 #FirstWorldProblems

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying awkwardly on the very low shelf of a narrow side table, with his head on a folded-up umbrella.

Beanie always finds the most uncomfortable-looking spots to lie in.

A photo of four sets of ten female heads for Warhammer 40,000-sized miniatures. One set has mohawks and cybernetic implants, one has a selection of "grizzled veteran" headgear like a beret, a beanie, sunglasses, one has a cigar, etc. The third set all have berets on, and the last have no headgear at all.

Woohoo, the replacement female heads for my miniatures arrived today. They're metal but surprisingly good quality, can't wait to get them all painted up. (I think I'm going to wait for my airbrush stuff to arrive before I get stuck in.)
