A photo of my painting table with several miniatures in various states of assembly, and two sprues with even more bits still on them, plus an empty glass that had Galliano Ristretto in it.

Current status: alcohol, fiddly plastic bits, and sharp cutting things. What could go wrong?

A photo of the box set of seven Plague Marines from Warhammer 40,000. They're all big and heavily armoured with all sorts of tentacles and gross fleshy bits coming out of them.

As if I didn't have enough unpainted miniatures already, my box of seven Plague Marines arrived today!

A photo of a big chunk of meat on a smoker, with temperature probes going into it.

It's meat-smokin' time again! This time we've got a 2.9kg pork collar butt from Costco, very curious to see how much the cooking time differs from the previous one.

Downside of all of this is that I smell of wood smoke already.

A screenshot from Forza Horizon 4 of a black American muscle car with the engine poking through the bonnet, driving down a snowy road.

Still having way too much fun hotting up old muscle cars in Forza Horizon 4. My latest is a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, also made over in the Mad Max style (and like the Falcon GT-HO, I've managed to make it handle pretty nicely too).

A photo of a VERY ominous-looking storm front over the top of some suburban houses.

A photo of a smallish room, with stuff against all of the walls but in a neat and tidy and actually arranged fashion.

Phew, that was one of the more productive New Year's Eves I've had... just spent the last two and a half hours cleaning and tidying our back room (the separate little structure that's in the back yard, not attached to the house itself).

A photo of three assembled but unpainted grey plastic miniatures. They're bulky-looking robot suits with huge guns on one arm. (Yes, they _are_ called Stealth Suits despite being the least stealthy-looking things you could think of!)

FINALLY doing some more miniature stuff! I put together my Tau Stealthsuits this evening.

A screenshot from Forza Horizon 4 showing a GT-HO Falcon driving down a long empty road with trees and fields on either side.

I souped up a 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO in Forza Horizon 4, and it's actually a LOT of fun to drive! Managed to get it handling corners very nicely. Plus, it's in cheerful 1970s yellow!

A photo of a Weber "Smokey Mountain" smoker in its box, along with a bag of barbecue briquettes, pecan wood chunks, and a charcoal chimney.

Yesssss.

And even better, Weber were having a Black Friday sale tomorrow which the guy said he'd honour today where you get 10% of the price of the barbecue's worth of accessories, so I got the briquettes, wood chunks, and charcoal chimney for essentially $5! 🎉

A photo looking down the full length of a Sydney Metro train, with nobody whatsoever on it.

Making the most excellent decision to take the Metro to Chatswood to have Mamak for dinner.
