Today at work, I was presented with this amazing 3D-printed award by @daniel (Duck for scale)

Photo of a 3D-printed model of a vertically-oriented car with the front of the car partially-embedded in a circular base. The words "CRASH" and "Award" are embossed into the base. Beside the model is a tiny rubber duck that makes its use as "for scale" pretty useless.

Right now I'm on vacation in this beautiful place (Baschi, Umbria, Italy 🇮🇹), but while I'm enjoying the sun, my colleagues launched the fun little website I helped make: onlyfjords.com

Photo of an evening view taken looking west from a house in Comune di Baschi, in the Umbria region of Italy. In the foreground are some tall pointy trees, silhouetted. In the background is a beautiful vista of Lago di Corbara (Lake Corbara) and the surrounding hills. The sun hangs fairly low in the sky.

My notifications were smiling at me today, and that amused me.

A screenshot of part of the top bar on an Android phone showing the current time and 3 notification icons. Two identical ones from the Messenger app either side of the Vipps app icon, creating a vague representation of a smiling face.

@ruari That clock was a Christmas present from my mum. Seems to have been a bit of a theme - I also got this useful date-keeping device from my aunt:

A winter's afternoon at St. Hanshaugen park, #Oslo

Pretty winter lights in Olaf Ryes plass, Oslo.

Photo of the center of a small park in Oslo's Grünerløkka region. A fountain (currently turned off) is in the centre, surrounded by trees. In the trees, star-shaped lights are hanging, creating a pretty winter view. A larger star hangs in the center. There is snow on the ground.

There's a lot to learn, but he's showing promise.

This big cuddly boy finally arrived today! He's had a month-long stay in Sweden with a colleague of mine, and now hes found his way to his new home here in the Oslo office. #Plushtodon

A selfie of myself holding a very large plush Mastodon, otherwise known as the Plushtodon. The Plushtodon fills most of the frame - I myself am barely visible behind it.

When we chose characters, I just had to pick this one. Looks so cute and innocent, but with those wire cutters in hand, they look like they are an absolute menace to themselves and everyone around them 😄

A photo of a character from the game. They have floppy ears, cute innocent eyes, and are weilding a pair of wire cutters in such a way that you feel like the only responsible thing to do would be to take it off their hands immediately...

We played #BombBusters at our Friday night #BoardGames. It's a quick game so we figured we'd play just a couple of rounds and then move on to something a bit meatier. Ended up playing it almost the entire evening, so good game, can recommend!

Photo of the box for the BombBusters board game. The box art shows a group of 3 cute creatures standing around a ticking time bomb that has 2 seconds left on the clock. The rabbit-looking creature on the left is about to cut a wire from the bomb. The box tagline is "They wanted the best team, they got... YOU!"
