Last night we went out to dinner to celebrate the boy’s birthday. We ate a lot of meat. It was incredible.

Finished him. He is magnificent.

The detail is incredible. The building was fun. I need more.

Really trying to savour every moment of this Lego build.

Started building my Father’s Day present tonight.

This is the way.

My Father’s Day is all about building a better zoo than my children.

Ingredients prepped to build up an epic pasta for dinner.

I’ve been neglecting the blog, so completely missed that there was a Micro.blog photo challenge.

I don’t know if I would describe this as abstract, but it’s the best I can do at short notice.

Yes.

First flight since about 2019. Heading down to Melbourne for the new job.

Last night the family and I went to see Beauty and the Beast.

It was amazing. It started a little bit slow for me, but it picked up. And both Gaston’s number and Be our Guest were among the most incredible musical performances I have seen.

The wife wants to go again, and she might just get her way…

Monday night soccer. At least tomorrow is a public holiday.

Took the kids to play some laser tag today. It’s one of the few things we do that’s just for dad and the kids.

Good to know I’ve still got it - I was the yellow team and the kids were the blue team 😂🎯🔫

I hate losing. This weekend, my wife and I played the Hogwarts Battle board game, with the Monster Box of Monsters expansion.

Now that the old barbecue is toast, I’ve had to pull out the Weber Q from retirement and… it cooks like a dream.

I am really going to miss this TV when it gets collected.

A good friend - one of my old colleagues - built a game.

On his own.

While he was still working.

It’s call Chorus of the Night, and it is really solid. Costs $2.95 (AUD) on Steam. Here’s a handy link to help you buy it.

This morning we got up early and drove to Thirlmere Lakes National Park to do a barbecue breakfast and then a little bushwalking. The weather was a little drizzly, which made it interesting, but the scenery was nice and the air was fresh. However… My son was not a fan of the leeches. Somehow they … read more

The family wasn’t happy that I won the first game by taking the Ring of Power to Mount Doom, so they demanded we play again.

And so I bankrupted all of them.

There were tears.
