Started building Leia’s Boushh Lego helmet. Forgot to take a pic after bag 1, but I’m loving how the details and shape are coming together after bag 2.

Worst day of my life, right here

We took a long weekend last weekend to Turon Gates, and it was spectacular. We stayed in a nice little cabin by there Turon river, watched the kangaroos, echidnas and wild goats, went bushwalking and horse riding, and cooked dinner on the fire. It was such a great opportunity to just stop and unwind … read more

Started off strong. Thought we had it all under control, and then the last encounter appeared. We needed to play 6 spells to be able to remove it. But that was hard. We hadn’t had a lot of spells appear on the board. And once Voldemort appeared, it became nearly impossible to impossible. In the end, … read more

Spent the past couple of days playing Familiar Tales, which my daughter got for her last birthday. It’s a pretty epic campaign based game. We only finished the first chapter, but had a lot of fun doing so. We thought we were doing well on the last mission of the chapter, but then things changed … read more

Home after seeing Birds of Tokyo play at the Opera House with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. It was phenomenal. The band were having lots of fun (for most of the show) and the SSO was amazing as always. A couple of tracks gave me tingles, making the hair stand up on the back of my neck it was so … read more

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. It had been a while since we last played, but I’ve been tracking our board game plays over the past year so I set us up to work through the second box of the expansion. We … read more

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