A photo of two large hardcover books, "The Art and Soul of Dune" and "The Art and Soul of Dune Part Two", and a plastic box with a "PiicoDev Starter Kit" sticker on the front showing several small blue circuit boards connected together with wires (it contains a bunch of sensors and wires and bits to do MicroPython electronics projects with).

Birthday goodies!

A photo of a bottle of Kraken spiced roast coffee rum, a Boss "Blues Driver" guitar pedal, a box of 300 miniature skulls for decorating my various Games Workshop miniature bases, and a black t-shirt with a dark on the front that looks like Darth Vader but he's made up of the Death Star and Storm Troopers and TIE Fighters.

Christmas loot!

A small plastic container with foam in it and two individual guitar strap locks, each made up of three pieces. One piece screws into the guitar itself where the existing strap holder does, one goes through the hole in the guitar strap, and the third screws into the other side of the previous piece to hold everything in place. The combined bit attached to the guitar strap then clips over the head of the piece that's screwed into the guitar, and you can quickly unlock it to swap straps around if needed.

Had a lovely birthday lunch at our local pub with a bunch of friends, and I got a very thoughtful gift: a set of properly-good guitar strap locks!

A photo of a small bass guitar amp with a bass guitar leaning against it, and a novel sitting in front. The amp is an Orange Crush Bass 25 and has a black mesh on the front with the rest of it being the customary bright orange colour. The guitar is a Yamaha BB434 and the body fades from black around the edges into a dark rich orange/red wood in the middle. The book is a sci-fi novel "Empire of Silence" by Christopher Ruocchio.

A photo of three guitars hanging on a wall.

Birthday loot! 😁 The book was a surprise gift from @yayKM, the reviews are glowing so I'll definitely be starting that next when I finish my current book. And I've gotten the bass all nicely wall-mounted already. Very excited to start learning it, I've heard very good things about the Bassbuzz course (https://www.bassbuzz.com/lessons/beginner) from LOTS of people so I'm going to start with that.

A photo of the box of Games Workshop's new Warhammer Underworlds box, "Gnarlwood", and four Boss guitar pedals. The Underworlds box has artwork of a guy in furs and looking very shamanic, and the guitar pedals are the DS-1W distortion, DD-3T digital delay, GE-7 equaliser, and Reverb RV-6.

Christmas loot! Hope everyone's had a good one.

A photo of a pile of presents wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper sitting on the floor next to a white pedestal that has a teeny little fake Christmas tree with lights and tinsel and decorations on it. The tree is probably not even 50 centimetres high in total.

Present wrapping: done. Presents: deployed. (Technically they're under the Christmas tree, right?)

A photo of the boxes of two Warhammer 40,000 miniatures, both are freaky-looking human/alien hybrids (one looks like a gunslinger and the other is standing there looking menacing). Underneath those are three plastic things: a little bellow, a funnel-looking thing, and a small weight.

Birthday haul part 2! The multi-part plastic thing is a single dose attachment for the coffee grinder.

A photo of a Breville "the Bambino Plus" espresso machine and a Eureka Mignon Specialita grinder alongside a stainless steel container for holding coffee beans. The espresso machine is very handsome, it's all black and shiny chrome, and the grinder is all black and looks very retro 1950s.

Yasssss, birthday haul. 🎉 I still need to tweak the grind fineness—and the single dose attachment I'm getting from my parents on Sunday will help with reducing the amount of beans I end up wasting because I ground too much—but man, even with that it's a night and day difference between the old machine and the new. I had no idea espresso could be so thick and rich!

A photo of a small automatic-turning spit roaster sitting on the floor.

The other Christmas present I forgot to post (because we didn't bother wrapping it or bringing it anywhere) was from Kristina: a little spit roaster! Very keen to take it for a spin.

A photo of five novels, the latest edition of Games Workshop's "Warhammer Underworlds" game called "Harrowdeep", a cylindrical container with a bottle of whisky in it, and a box of "aged" Earl Grey tea.

Christmas haul! I'm REALLY keen to try the whisky, it's from India and is a blend of Scottish and Indian barleys.
