A photo taken from my seat looking down the length of the plane, we've only just started boarding so there aren't many people on it yet.

We are on a plane! Off to Perth to see @burgerdrome and some other non-fedi friends.

A screenshot of my Cyberpunk 2077 character. She's a Black woman with purple hair pulled up behind her head and the sides shaved, a bunch of piercings, and she's standing there with her arms crossed and a slight smirk on her face. In the background is an empty street curving away to the left.

Having forgotten about Cyberpunk 2077, and also having forgotten how to play it, I decided to start a new character and maybe actually play more than a couple of hours this time.

Unfortunately the lack of being able to use a Southpaw control scheme means I'm absolutely ATROCIOUS at aiming at anything, so I'm playing on easy difficulty and will be primarily leaning on not actually shooting at stuff for this playthrough, hopefully it's not too frustrating — I have an extremely low tolerance for frustration at video games these days. (I can swap the control sticks around at the Xbox controller level, but that fucks things up in a bunch of other ways like navigating through menus, so I'm going to just have to see how it goes. For the love of $DEITY, game devs, JUST LET ME REMAP CONTROLS!)

A photo looking down Sydney's George St, with tram tracks in the middle, some trees just starting to come back into their greenery, tall buildings, and people walking around with umbrellas. The sky is grey and it's actively raining.

I'm in the city today for a doctor's appointment and also post-work jam session, and jesus CHRIST is it miserable.

A screenshot of the iOS Alarms app with an alarm set for 4:50am.

@yayKM's mum is visiting for two weeks and her plane gets in at arse o'clock tomorrow morning, so our alarms are set so we can go pick her up from the airport. 😫 This is going to be a shock.

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. 😂
