Teach her how to paint figures.....BUT NOT how to wargame. Unless you want to be beaten on a regular basis. (for clarification that's beaten in a wargame)  :)

Irony is, two teachers at home, eldest does all her work independently by 10.30 each day, youngest is still in her pjs at 11 and is refusing to work...

I hate to say it but busier than normal at work.  

I work for a contract cleaning/facilities company who provide services to Supermarkets so that part of our business is operating normally

Painting up as much 10mm as I can in my free time plus a weekly quiz with the chaps from our WG club and a Friday Zoom date with some of our friends where we eat together, drink wine and talk crap every Friday for a few hours 😁

With the announcements today, looks like our family won't be able to go out until sometime in July, assuming Stages 1&2 go OK. So another couple of months on the 'Googie Withers*' front :(.

* Googie Withers was an actress who starred in a tv series 'Within These Walls' set in a female prison. So growing up being stuck indoors (ie imprisoned by the weather etc) was referred to as doing a 'Googie Withers'.

Well I'm just about back on top of the emails now, there were only 400 to deal with...!  Tomorrow I can get on with chasing up some of the orders as well, we're starting to see some stock shortages creeping in but nothing too drastic.

In non-work news, I managed to get through the new Sky 'Gangs of London' series while I was off, not massively impressed sadly.  It didn't seem to know what it was trying to be, a Game of Thrones style web of plotlines, an all out stylised action affair, or a gritty London drama.  Nice set pieces but completely unrealistic in many places.

I'm part way through series 2 of Van Helsing (excellent so far) and Jo and I are part way through Designated Survivor (series 1 was great, 2 hit and miss).
