A photo of the rear of five partially-painted miniatures. They've all got long flowing cloaks, and two of them have lizard skin cloaks which are a dull green colour on the scales and faded up into a desaturated yellow colour on the knobbly bits that are obviously from the middle of the lizards' backs.

My last five Corsair Voidscarred are coming along nicely. I did the base coating of their capes tonight (no highlights yet) and did wet blending with Contrast paints for the first time for the two with the lizard skin cloaks. Really pleased with how they came out, many thanks to @[email protected] for the inspiration!

A screenshot of a dust-covered black hatchback driving along a road with looming sandstone cliffs behind it.

I was a bit sceptical about the new Forza Horizon 5 DLC, it's a whole proper rally thing. By default they recommend you leave the driving line off and they have the full co-driver giving you directions ("medium right into hard left", etc.) and I gave that a go and man is it fun! I've been blasting around in my rally-spec 1990 Nissan Pulsar (the brown is actually dust, it's black underneath all that, haha).

A photo of nine Tupperware containers in three-by-three pattern, each filled with half rice and half a rich red chicken curry with peas, green beans, carrots, and corn in it.

And three and a half hours later the chicken has pretty much fallen apart, and we're done! I'll be having it with eggplant pickle and Greek yoghurt and it's going to be gooooooood.

A screenshot of four lines of sheet music, it's not CRAZY complex or anything, but there's a lot going on.

A few months ago I signed up for Mike Barnes' drum lesson stuff and one of the things he really recommend was Trinity College London's Introducing Drum Kit course. It includes music tracks to play along to and teaches you how to read drum sheet music. I've been working my way through it and can actually read everything that's going on here!

A big saucepan with a rich red chicken curry cooking in it. There's green beans, corns, carrot, and peas visible as well.

Absolutely miserable weather here today, good day to put on a giant batch of chicken curry with tons of veggies to have for lunches during the week.

A photo of a fully set up game board of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. The terrain is all very ramshackle and looks like it's straight from a junkyard.

We had a four-player game of Kill Team today! Turns out I'm pretty shit at playing my team (Imperial Guard) and I barely did anything and got mostly shot off the board. I came third and that was because the fourth guy was having fun just blowing shit up and wasn't actually playing objectives, heh.

Though in retrospect, I don't think the terrain was really set up very well, there was a lack of heavy cover around the deployment zones which meant I had to be bunched up and in conceal to avoid being murdered on the first turn.

A screenshot of macOS's Calendar application showing an event called "Holidays" that goes for the entire month of April.

Yesssss, this is my work calendar for next month.

A photo looking down the the middle of two lanes of a dark bowling alley, with someone mid-bowl on the left.

Aw yiss, team event today! First was ten-pin bowling which was excellent fun as always. We've got quite the multicultural team and had a number of people who'd barely played before, but I gave them some solid tips and everyone ended up getting at least one strike, and they all posted quite respectable scores by the end of the second game. 😁

Bowling was followed by a sadly very average half rack of pork ribs at Meat District Co.

A photo of four miniatures. They're basically space elf pirates, all their armour is elegant and flowing and a rich burgundy colour, and they have cool turquoise capes and three of them have either a full mask or rebreathers on. The first the has a long sword in one hand and has a bird that's just taken flight from his other hand, the second is holding up a big gem in front of her in the same sort of way that movies depict people holding up crosses to ward off vampires, the third has a hood on and is holding two short blades out on either side like she's just finished slicing someone to ribbons, and the last is kneeing while looking down the sights of a sniper rifle. All but the hooded one have very punk-looking hair: bright-coloured with top-knots and half-shaved heads.

Next four Corsair Voidscarred: done. The Aeldari certainly do love their gems, and I've definitely gotten painting them down to a fine art!

A photo of the New South Wales senate ballot paper expanded to its full width, with a ton of boxes to tick on it. It's in a cardboard voting booth and is large enough that the sides of the paper go up the sides of the booth (the booth is maybe 60cm wide).

A photo of my hand holding a bread roll with sausage, bacon, egg, onion, and tomato sauce on it.

Well, that was the longest I've had to wait to vote, but I was still in and out in under 20 minutes.

Comically large senate ballot paper: check.

Democracy sausage: check.
