A photo taken from our home office looking out the window, where there's a metal platform a bit above the windowsill with a tradie in shorts and wearing a toolbelt standing on it. You can't see above his waist and he's working on removing the old guttering.

Current status: banging and crashing.

(We're getting our gutters replaced because they're in atrocious shape.)

A photo from our home office looking out into the backyard. There's a two storey house to the left left of frame blocking most of the view and sunlight, but just past that is a tree with golden leaves that's being made to look extra golden by the sunset shining on it. There are some other trees to the right of that, and the sky is grey and cloudy. In the front of the trees is the little room/structure that's turned into our hobby-slash-storage room, it's got browny/red walls on it and a white roof.

It was completely overcast and dreary the whole day today, then right as the sun was setting the clouds started to clear out west and we got the sun shining on just the tree in our backyard!

A photo of a thin-crust pizza with cheese that's browned around the edges and peas dotting it, sitting on a round pizza tray. It looks pretty delicious and I can confirm that it lived up to that.

Aww yiss, trashy dinner tonight for @yayKM@aus.social's birthday: store-bought pizza bases to make home-made pizza, with green Tabasco plus home-made ranch dressing. 👌🏻 And we're just about to watch This Is Spinal Tap, which I don't even recall the last time I saw.

A photo of three undercoated but otherwise mostly unpainted miniatures, on the left is a positively huge Kosargi Night Guard, he's a hulking zombie-looking brute with rotting skin and wearing a torn-up knee-length cloak and a Mongolian-style fur hat. He's got a big long beard and is holding an absolutely massive axe. Next to him are the two Vyrkos Bloodborn vampires that aren't quite fully (or formerly) human because they've got clawed feet and one has fur on his thighs. The left one is holding onto the top of an (actually painted) ruined stone column with one hand and dangling off the side with his feet holding onto the column and he's holding a long thin sword. The other one is crouched low mid-sprint with one hand held out in front of her like she's about to grab someone's throat and her other hand is out behind her also holding a long thin sword.

I have started painting more of my Warhammer Quest miniatures (for the first time since January last year, oops)! 🎉

One of the friends I play Kill Team with on Sunday nights suggested we could do a "hobby and hang" over video call, and it was such a good idea, we had a good hour and a half chatting and painting, and I've made some progress on the two remaining Vyrkos Bloodborn (plus a tiny amount on the Kosargi Nightguard).

A photo of a white dinner plate with two amazingly-delicious looking fried fillets of salmon that are crispy around the edges, sitting next to long-grain rice and sliced green beans.

Oh man, for dinner tonight @yayKM@aus.social did Ama-Shiozake (Japanese brined salmon) and it was EPIC! (Not pictured: the sriracha we added to it, which IMO is a requirement.)

A photo of a rainbow lorikeet sitting in amongst the leaves and branches of a big tree.

I am unreasonably excited to have spotted a rainbow lorikeet hanging out in the big tree in our backyard! They're such lovely birds and we don't see them around here. It was chirping away another one that I couldn't see.

A photo of our dining table with a Warhammer Quest game set up on it. There's lots of cards and dice everywhere, and in middle are a bunch of variously-shaped tiles connected together that look like the inside of a set of buildings. There's four hero miniatures at the right (one heavily-armoured warrior woman with a sword, a vampire hunter with a long leather coat and a big hat, a steampunk dwarf, and a priest with a rich red robe and a big staff) plus two groups of hostile miniatures: two lithe vampires and three shambling zombies.

A photo of our four hero miniatures standing next to and being positively LOOMED over by the Vargskyr, which is a massive hunched over demon/bat hybrid thing twice the height of the heroes, with red skin and brown fur down its arms. It has blood around its mouth and dripping from its claws and there's a pile of skulls on its base. In the distance across several board sections there are a group of rat swarms and another group of bat swarms ready to overwhelm us.

We had @wobin@aus.social over today to finally continue our Warhammer Quest adventure! This time it was the first half of the next Kill The Big Bad journey, it was pretty smooth sailing compared to some of our previous efforts and we managed to stay ahead of the suffocating gravetide without too much issue. Plus we even took down the mighty Vargskyr before got a chance to attack us when it showed up!

All four heroes are inspired and ready for the second half next time, which I expect is going to be quite nasty: the target is Gorslav the Gravekeeper and he'll be accompanied by all ten of the zombie miniatures that come in the Cursed City box, plus a batch of corpse rats and a batch of bat swarms. Gorslav has a number of nasty abilities and can bring zombies back after you've killed them, so it's going to be hectic.

A photo of two round golden brown loaves of bread covered in flour, sitting on a cooling rack. There's a magnificent split along the top of both of them and I can confirm they taste as good as they look.

Yissss.

A photo of a bowl of porridge with a dollop of butter on top, and brown sugar sprinkled on it.

Aw yiss, first porridge of the season.

(The timing in terms of suitable weather was a bit poor here because today is the first gloriously sunny day we've had after like a week of grey and rain.)

A selfie of me, a white man with a short red beard and short brown hair—although both are getting a bit scruffy—smiling at the camera. I'm holding a guitar and standing in front of my standing desk, which has an Arturia MiniLab 3 MIDI keyboard in black sitting on the desk. On the main computer display is Logic Pro with Arturia's Analog Lab plugin window open, and on my laptop's internal display to the left there is Toontrack's Superior Drummer 3 plugin window showing half of a frankly absurd number of cymbals and toms, partially covered by the window for Neural DSP's Archetype PliniX guitar amp software showing a cool-looking black amp with a red glow coming from inside it.

Current status: feeling inspired. 😎

(Of course, it's probably going to end up being another couple of months before I actually finish this thing. 😅)
