A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side in the floor. His butt and probably back third of his back are underneath a blue armchair that's only just higher than he is wide.

Beanie's managed to some work just his back-end under the chair. I'm interested to see how much flailing ensues when he goes to get up.

A selfie of me, a white man with a red beard and short hair, poking in from the side of frame, and Lily, a white girl with short and curly dyed-red hair and a look of mild disgust on her face.

We're finally seeing Lily for the first time in four and a half months! Unsurprisingly for a fourteen year-old, she wasn't particularly interested in having a nice photo taken, so we got this instead. 😅

A photo taken from the perspective of my head looking down at the desk in front of me. There's a small scruffy blonde dog lying on my lap with his head resting in the crook of my right arm, and my arm is resting in my keyboard as I was in the middle of typing.

Beanie really enjoys making it difficult to work.

A photo of a tomato-based tandoori chicken curry sitting in a pot, with peas, beans, and carrots in it.

Phew, doing all the things today. Cleaned the smoker from yesterday's efforts, getting the laundry done, cleaned the shower, and now have a chicken curry going to make lunches for the week!

A photo of a hunk of cooked pork covered in pepper and looking delicious.

A photo of the pork all shredded up, showing excellent pink smoke ring.

Aw yeah, another extremely successful pulled pork. 👌🏻3kg pork collar butt from Costco, bang-on six hours at 135°C.

A photo of the box of a Mac mini. It's white and very minmal, with "Mac mini" written in silver on the front and a photo of the top of the Mac mini itself on the top of the box.

At work, when you hit ten years of service, amongst other things you get a thousand dollars to put towards a gift of some sort. I couldn't think of anything I wanted so got an Apple Store gift card, intending on putting it towards my eventual M1 MacBook Pro, but like a huge dingus, I entirely forgot to apply the gift card when I ordered the MBP last week. Fortunately we also needed to upgrade the old 2012 Mac mini so I put it towards an M1 Mac mini instead, and it arrived today! 🎉

A close-up of a Warhammer Underworlds game board, Lady Harrow's Mournflight (spooky ghost/spirit-looking things) ganging up on a number of armoured but lithe aelves.

We had a visit from Ben today! 😮 Beanie definitely remembered him, though we gave him a full dose of the calming medicine and he was still barky to start with but calmed down faster than we expected.

Played another game of Warhammer Underworlds which was a very low-scoring game, mostly because nobody was able to kill each other because both people kept rolling crits on the attack but then also getting them on defense.

A photo of a section of front yard in front of our house. There's a bay window with a bunch of plants in pots in front of it in a little mulched garden area, and the grass in front of the garden is wonderfully neat and tidy.

A photo of the back yard where the grass is also wonderfully neat and tidy.

Oh man, I used our new electric lawn mower and whippersnipper today and it was an absolute DELIGHT. No fucking around with the stupid starter cord on the mower and it cuts so nicely. The whippersnipper has tons of power as well and lengthening the line is gloriously easy.

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

Beanie is very pooped out after his walk.

A photo of the box of a set of Acacia Lunar scales, and the additional magnetised plate to make it a little wider if you need it. The scales are ~10cm x 10cm square, with rounded corners, and thin enough to fit under your cup when you're making espresso.

Woohoo, my fancy espresso scales arrived! (I mean, you can obviously use them for more than just espresso, which we'll be doing).
