A photo of the box of the Dune 2 Blu-ray and a Pimoroni "HyperPixel" four-inch display, plus the new temperature sensor which consists of a coiled black cable with almost what looks like a silver microphone cover at the end of it where the sensor lives.

New goodies! Dune Part 2 in 4K HDR, a replacement screen for one of our Raspberry Pi-attached dashboards, and a different type of temperature/humidity sensor, the Sensiron SHT-30, that's actually got a weather-proof mesh around it and is specifically designed for outdoor usage. (Our current BME280 it turns out is _not_, and despite being protected from direct rain, the humidity after it rains gets high enough that the sensor gets saturated and all the readings end up being wrong. I also found out that you can actually calculate the dew point if you have the temperature and relative humidity so I don't even need the BME280 to do that for me! The only thing that I'll be missing is the atmospheric pressure, I COULD leave the BME280 attached for just that but but I don't actually know that I care all that much about it tbh.)

A wide-angle photo looking down from our Level 30 office in Sydney's CBD. There are a number of shorter buildings directly below, and some taller ones forming a bit of a wall further out. The sky is grey and foggy and everything is wet because it's just been raining.

I am once again in the office and thoroughly enjoying view. Bit of a miserable day though.

A photo of our TV showing the end a game of Guitar Hero, with the song being Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

The seventeen year-old is staying over for the weekend again, and we played another good three hours of Guitar Hero! This time we did Warriors of Rock and I'd forgotten that they'd added the ability to import a bunch of songs from the other Guitar Hero games into it, so we had quite a variety. They were very excited to see Queen, Black Sabbath, Nirvana, Def Leppard, and Bon Jovi in the choices, and we played some Stevie Wonder and Creedence Clearwater Revival and they added those songs to their "To listen to" list. 😁

A wide-angle photo of a restaurant table with pizza, pasta, ravioli, and a bowl of french fries on it.

Aw yiss, paid-for-by-work lunch is best lunch. 😎

A photo of a fried chicken burger with a slice of cheese hanging part way out, and a little cardboard container of chips.

A photo of a "doughnut" (it doesn't actually have a hole in the middle" with meringue on top and a bit of the lemon filling visible at the side where it's leaked out.

Aww yeah, day one of our work team event has begun with a kara-age burger for lunch followed by a lemon meringue donut. 👌🏻

A rather poor quality photo (I used the ultra-wide lens in my phone and forgot how dim underground carparks actually are at night) of an underground carpark just packed to the gills with all manner of different Subaru vehicles, some of them with their bonnets open, and people milling around.

We went to do our regular Friday night shopping, and apparently the local Subaru Owners Club decided the Coles carpark would be a good place for a meetup. Just a SEA of Subarus, and like 95% dudes. I think my bar for "Wow there a bunch of douchey-looking guys here" is a lot higher than @yayKM's though, by virtue of being extremely familiar with the sheer number of ridiculously hotted-up cars that used to cruise down George St in the CBD of a Friday and Saturday night before it was turned into a tramway. 😂
