A photo of our little temperature dashboard display showing that it's 45.1˚C outside right now. (Inside it's a wonderfully comfortable 24.4˚C.)

NO THANK YOU.

A photo of two disgusting Plague Marine miniatures, both just undercoated. The one on the left is mid-stride and has what looks like a huge flamethrower slung under one arm, and the one on the right is holding a gnarled staff up in one hand and has his other hand out in front of him casting some foul cloud of magic. Both of them are in pox-ridden Space Marine armour, with tentacles and pustules everywhere, and the one on the right with the staff has a huge mouth with massive teeth in the stomach of his armour.

Right, that's the two Plague Marines that I need to make a squad for the new edition of Kill Team ready for painting! The one on the left with the Plague Spewer is actually a conversion I kitbashed but never painted back when the previous 2021 edition of Kill Team came out, and the Malignant Plaguecaster on the right is even older than that: he dates from the Warhammer 40,000: Dark Imperium box that I bought back in 2018 or so.

I don't technically have a WYSIWYG Plague Champion to use as my leader because my Champion that has a plasma pistol has a powerfist instead of a plague sword. I'm going to use the old Noxious Blightbringer model that's also from the Dark Imperium because because he does have a plasma pistol and is holding a bell in his other hand, rather than having a specific weapon that someone might be confused by, plus it's just an AWESOME model and I've never had a chance to use it. He's on a 40mm base rather than 32mm but I can't be bothered trying to rebase him because he's already fully painted, and we just play casually anyway.

A photo of a bowl of ice cream, with Ice Magic, butterscotch sauce, chopped up strawberries, and crushed peanuts on top.

Right, holiday step one: celebratory trashy dessert.

A photo of my standing desk in its upright position, with a Yamaha BB-434 bass guitar sitting to the left of the desk, and Logic Pro showing on the main computer display.

Current status: totally ripping off @futzle@old.mermaid.town's chord progression from I'm Staying Home This Christmas for my own song I'm noodling around with. 😁

A photo taken from my seat looking down the length of the plane, with people busily piling in and putting their luggage in.

We are on a plane! Very shortly to arrive in Melbourne.

A photo of a white femme-ish non-binary person with dyed black hair and wearing all black clothing, in the middle of playing a bass guitar.

First bass lesson with the seventeen year-old!

A photo of a field with sheep grazing in it, and behind them are two three-storey unit blocks, and beyond that in the distance a bunch of regular suburban houses.

We're off to Parramatta for Mamak with @rfernandez, and it's SUCH a glorious day that we walked to the train station. Nice to see the sheep still around, for the moment at least.

A photo of a round table with Magic the Gathering cards all over it (it's a four-player game).

A photo of a bowl of chilli con carne with rice, veggies, and a big dollop of sour cream.

I'm in the office today for ALL OF THE THINGS. First up, playing Magic the Gathering at lunch with the usual pre-COVID crew. 😁

They changed caterers for the hot food a few months ago and man, they're doing a bang-up job. Day was chilli con carne and it was delicious.

A photo of several different pieces of gothic-looking yet somewhat futuristic ruins of varying sizes sitting on my painting table.

Right, that's the terrain assembled and undercoated! Next stop, attempting to replicate @rollleafd@warhammer.social's method with minimal effort via the magic of drybrushing.

A photo of an electric guitar with a white body, black pick guard, and a maple fretboard and headstock. It's VERY handsome.

A photo of an electronic drum kit sitting in a corner, with a mesh snare and three mesh tom pads on it, and three black cymbals. Two of the cymbals are noticeably larger (and also cleaner) than the third one, and they're the new ones.

New gear day! 🎉 A Fender Player II Stratocaster, and upgraded cymbals for my drum kit (CY-16RT ride cymbal and CY-14CT crash cymbal, both Roland).

Mannys only had one of the crash cymbals in stock so I'm still waiting on the second to arrive, as well as a Boss ME-90B bass guitar multi-effects pedal. I haven't had a chance to play with the Strat yet, but MAN the new cymbals are nice, they have a far better feel to them than the stock ones, and the new ride cymbal has three trigger zones on it, so you get the bell sound in the very middle too.

I'm currently trying to see if I can fit another cymbal mount on there to use with the last input on my drum module so I can make use of one of the now-spare CY-8 cymbals as a third crash... 🤔
