A photo taken from the vantage point of where my computer keyboard would be, looking back at my chest and right arm. A small scruffy blonde dog is lying in my lap with his neck craned back and his head resting in the crook of my arm.

I really don't know how this is comfortable, his neck is craned so far back!

A photo of the board of a Warhammer Underworlds game. The board has hexagonal tiles printed on it, and there's six goat-looking beastmen on the right side (Grashrak's Despoilers) and three heavily-armoured warriors in gold and dark blue armour on the left (Ironsoul's Condemnors).

We had another visit from Ben today, dropped Beanie down to one single one of his pills, and honestly I think we could have entirely done without them! Beanie didn't even bark to start with, and after that it was just excited barking rather than panicked.

We played Warhammer Underworlds again but with me in an advisory role and it went really well, was a close game right up until the end.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side next to one of those finned, oil-filled space heaters.

Winter is definitely Beanie's favourite season, he loves the space heater.

A photo of cut rounds sitting on a cooling rack. They're basically like scones except mine are flat and haven't risen at all.

A photo of a cut round sliced in half with butter and raspberry jam on it.

There's this British historian and TV presenter Ruth Goodman who's done a whole bunch of docos about life on farms during various periods in history. She did one series called "Edwardian Farm" and during it they made a thing called "cut rounds", basically like a savory scone. I found a recipe and made them, and while mine didn't rise much, they're REALLY yummy! The recipe I followed was this one.

I'm not remotely a person who knows about baking so I don't know why they didn't rise (needs more baking powder maybe?), but they WERE nice and moist inside and not like hockey pucks!

A photo of two stacks of grey foam that are custom-cut to fit all the individual Warhammer Underworlds warbands, plus a very striking black and white carry bag to fit them all into. Also visible is the head of a small scruffy blonde dog giving the foam trays a good smell.

Woohoo, my order from battlefoam.com arrived! Going to be much less nerve-wracking trying to carefully put all my Warhammer Underworlds warbands away without breaking any of the pointy bits now. (Beanie had to have himself a good sniff of all the new smells).

A photo of the box of Kainan's Reapers, a warband that's made up of skeleton warriors.

There we go, last warband I'm getting for the current season of Warhammer Underworlds! (I'm not interested in Hedkrakka's Madmob or the Idoneth Deepkin, the miniatures don't grab me).

A photo of the box of a 450W CoolerMaster power supply.

Woot, replacement power supply arrived for my old Power Mac G4! Now I just need to get a molex extension cable so I can swap the pins around on it rather than directly on the new PSU so it fits what the G4 uses.

A photo of a table with a set of extremely well painted cards on it from the board game "Mysterium".

We had our regular fortnightly visit from Ben today, and played Munchkin and an interesting game called "Mysterium".

It's incredible how much better Beanie is getting, it wasn't even five minutes of barking before he'd settled down, and the barking he WAS doing was just "Ahhh I'm excited!" rather than "OH GOD I'M FRIGHTENED OF THIS PERSON!". Next time we're going to go down to 1 pill and see how he goes. 🤞🏻
