A wide-angle photo taken looking down a long table of a bunch of people sitting and talking at a pub. There are empty plates scattered over the table, and a big window on the left looking out into some greenery.

A photo of the box of Lhykhis, a Warhammer 40,000 miniature. She's wearing sleek black armour and is partially crouched in mid-jump with a bunch of what looks like lightning underneath her in a partial globe shape like she's just finished teleporting from somewhere else. She has one hand out behind her, the other holding a big sword, two additional mechanical arms coming out from her back and pointing forwards above her shoulders, and ANOTHER two coming out underneath her real arms, and the whole effect very much brings to mind a spider.

I had a (belated) birthday lunch at our local pub today! Great to see friends, the food was delicious as always, and @littleal@mastodon.au bought me a present, the new Warp Spider Phoenix Lord miniature for Warhammer 40,000!

A wide-angle photo of seven people sitting around in a loose circle with electric guitars on their laps.

Spent a couple of hours this afternoon jamming* with some local dads.

*Well, I say "jamming" but that's overstating it in my case, I'm not good enough to actually just look at what someone else is doing and be able to play along with them.

A selfie looking down a long table in a pub, with a bunch of people smiling at the camera.

A photo of a large knitted chicken in green and brown wool. There's nothing for scale but it's probably a good 20cm high.

Today marks fifteen years that @yayKM and I have been married! We met up at our local pub for lunch with a bunch of friends and it was most excellent.

And @wobin knitted us an amazing anniversary present, a large chicken who we are naming Agatha! 😂

A wide-angle photo taken at night showing a number of round tables with outdoor umbrellas above them, and there's a big palm tree in the middle with lights strung from it going down across the area.

A photo of a pie sitting on a plate along with mash that's covered in gravy and a dollop of mushy peas.

We went out for dinner tonight at a pub called The Fiddler. It used to be called The Mean Fiddler and was ranked as the most violent pub in NSW. They cleaned up their act like eight years ago after there was a big push by the government and police to start fining venues, and it's actually bloody lovely now! Really nice outdoor courtyard area, and there's there's BIG Irish pub section with all wood panelling and multiple levels and comfy chairs and nooks and crannies. We're planning on going there again specifically when the weather is properly cold so we can go to the Irish bit and engage cozy mode.

I got a Guinness pie with mash and mushy peas which was pretty tasty and Kristina got a burger, which wasn't anything to write home about but it was standard pub food and the chips were quite good.

A photo of a three-player game of Warhammer Underworlds, a hex-based board game with miniatures and cards. Lady Harrow's Mournflight (four flowing spirits) are at the left, The Crimson Court (four elegant vampires in silver and bronze armour with red cloaks) are at the right, and across the other side of the board are Hrothgorn's Mantrappers (a huge ogre with a crossbow/bear trap launcher, a sabretooth tiger, and four goblins).

A photo of a beef burger and chips in a low rectangular basket.

We had Ben over again today for a Beanie visit and some Warhammer Underworlds. The Beanie visit went very well, we didn't even give Beanie any of his medicine and he'd pretty well calmed down inside of ten minutes! Warhammer Underworlds ended up being extremely close, Ben and I tied for the win on 10 glory, and Kristina got 9!

And then we went to a pub near us for dinner and I had a burger and it was excellent. 👌🏻

A photo of a plate of Southern fried chicken on top of potato gems with slaw on the side.

We took full advantage of the NSW Government's "Dine and Discover" scheme where everyone gets two $25 vouchers for eating out and two $25 for visiting museums or seeing movies or whatever. Aw yiss. Even better it was Schnitty Wednesday at the Bavarian ($10 schnitzels) so two schnitzels plus a cider cost us the princely sum of $7.50.

It was surprisingly busy for a Wednesday night, I wonder how long it's going to take before seeing tons of people in one place doesn't feel weird.

A photo of the bar at the middle of a restaurant. There's black and white tiles on the sides of it, and tons of glassware hanging down above it.

A photo of a schnitzel sitting on top of chips, with a slice of lemon and a small bowl of aioli.

A nighttime shot of several trees at the centre of Rouse Hill Town Centre, all strung up with lights around the trunks.

Fuck yeah, went to The Bavarian at Rouse Hill for dinner tonight. Always so damn good.

The ordering and payment was really interesting, there was a QR code to scan that took you to a website where you selected what you wanted from the menu, and the site offered Apple Pay so it was absolutely frictionless. Didn't even need the waitress to come over for anything but delivering the food.

A series of very large Christmas baubles hanging from a high ceiling in a mall.

These Christmas decorations at our local mall are terrifying. It looks more like they're ball decorations that have been caught by a giant spider and trapped in silk for later eating.
