If you’re at the #AWS Summit Singapore, be sure to stop by the Developer Lounge (in the Orchid Ballroom)! We have lots of stickers, community talks, and fun demos to check out. ❤️👗

Ahhhh, Singapore. Beautiful city; sticky heat; cold beer; and good friends. ❤️🇸🇬

Kicking off a big month of work travel. I look forward to seeing everyone at the #AWS Singapore Summit on Tuesday! ❤️🇸🇬

German Cultural Day Festival at the @goetheinstitut_australien in Sydney! Viel Spaß mit Festbier und Brez’n und Musik. ❤️🇩🇪🥨🍻

Week 9: The rendering is mostly finished! It’s nice to be past the “omg we wrecked our house” demolition phase and starting to see what the finished product will be like. The TV mount arrived today, so still working on the new living room wall. The kitchen tiled floor is also being adjusted to meet flush with the new wooden one in the dining room. And the tub is in! A tub I can actually extend my legs in! 😍 And now we find ourselves at critical juncture that has detailed many a Grand Design – ordering the windows. Wish us luck…. 🪟🤞#renovation

The home renovation continues, but we’re starting to collect some new pieces to decorate. I was thrilled to nab one of these deconstructed GameBoy pieces from @xreart_official!

You get a shot; you get a lolly. Those are the rules. 🍭 #flushots

Finally the gradient on my Autumn Ginkgo Leaves scarf has reached the transition to orange! 🧶 🍃🍂 #knitting

Me: I’m leaning towards these new frames… but they remind me of someone?

Rodd:

I still ordered them. 😂

One of the big decisions for the renovation was whether to put in a fire. We don’t really need one for heating, but we liked the idea of one for coziness. We tossed up between gas (expensive, polluting) and electric (cheaper, less heat, not as pretty) before landing on a portable ethanol fireplace. It arrived today, and as luck would have it, it’s a perfect cold, grey, rainy Sydney Autumn day. This is pretty nice… 🔥
