- Really nice little pie from the local deli for lunch
- Got brave and just ordered new bike panniers. Bit of an extravagance, but the old one is deeply tatty and nearly fell off on my last ride out.

- SGQ: I bought four different jams in my most recent shopping trip. Usually I get just one, and it’s nice to have a choice now.

- My sister-in-law’s dog is behaving very well so far on their visit to us.
- Bonus: my plumber has time to come look at a busted joint at my pool equipment on very short notice.

- This dog being trimmed. My heart!!
- A small flock of magpies and another of currawongs were singing together this morning. They were probably shouting insults and death threats at each other but it sounded so beautiful.
- SGQ: I’m going to bed early tonight, as soon as I’ve posted this.
Pandemic, which is one of our long-term favourites, and the new Pandemic Star Wars.

- We have an air conditioner now! We don’t intend to make a ton of use of it, but it’s reassuring to have it to help keep the rabbits cool. And, frankly, my office, which had temps of over 40 degrees Celsius last summer.
- The realisation I can set up my treadmill again, since the person who complained about it is no longer in residence and the current resident is out all day.
- Singing along to my very random playlist of songs I have at some point enjoyed.

- Who Gives A Crap has new designs for their toilet paper wrapping. It may seem trivial but it makes me smile every time I see the stash next to my loo.
- Smoke haze that’s been around for a few days due to controlled burn-offs has nearly cleared. Now the air just smells like a barbecue, which is much better.
- SGQ: I’ve improved one of my scripts at work so it checks for more things, meaning that fewer manual checks are needed.
Cooperative board games are delightful, and the Pandemic range are the best out of all that I’ve tried. It’s so nice to have a challenging and fun game with no adversarial elements.

- @clivemeister, for helping out with the inbox today so I didn’t have to cut short my studying time.
- A particular tutor at my university who is taking the time to provide thorough, useful information about the exams and the marking system, which I don’t think I’ve seen any other tutor do.
- Last night my FFXIV static managed to clear the new Unreal trial twice, including a perfect run with no deaths. Meaning that since we started doing Unreals each week, we haven’t missed a single week, even with the new fight being introduced. It’s easier in some ways than the previous Unreal, but still, it speaks for our improvement that we so quickly got up to speed with the new one.

My favorite two co-op board games are Hanabi and Flourish! I especially strongly recommend the former.
- SGQ: I got up on time this morning and got some yardwork knocked out before actual-work, which if I didn’t finish today would have to wait a whole week for the next brush-pickup day.
- Also SG: I got the floor of my office finally all picked up! Not everything is in its final home yet but this is SO much better than it was!
- Grocery stores and the regular availability of salmon.
