....The weather's been really nice....

Yeah, you're not kidding there. It seems to have been almost unbroken sunshine for the last six weeks. Maybe three days where it's rained?

For which I am eternally grateful - if we'd all been stuck in the house watching the rain on the windows for the majority of the time I think there'd have been a lot of friction in the house.

If it was like the wet Frebruary we had, then it would have been a lot, lot harder for sure. I've no idea how we would have coped.

Orcs

Yes Mrs Orcs and I have been very fortunate, Only us and both working normally. Biggest problem has been keeping In-laws of 86 and 79 from going out.

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)  :)

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'.

I've been getting through this by buying several Pendraken armies recently .....  :D
