We played an incredibly complex tabletop game yesterday on my friend’s custom built gaming table. It has built-in lights, charger ports, and a cup/snack holder.
The game lasted around 4 hours. I still don’t know how to play it, but I came second somehow. So, that was nice.

I did this punch needle patch by hand last year and it was super rewarding but having a full on rug tufting set up would be awesome. So jelly.

Currently talking about Vaporwave, the local shopping mall and nostalgia of Food Town. Legit Lower Hutt memories.

A branch off my Rātā came down in the storm this week. I thought it would just be an hour or two to chop up and clear the yard. How wrong I was. Chainsaws though, huh? Pretty fun.

I have spent some time doing some punch needlework to pay homage to Hand of Glory scene in THE WICKER MAN (1973).
Pretty happy with how it’s turned out.
