I still don't get this 'waiting for the weather' to varnish. I just put my brush in the varnish and get on with it. It also means my painting desk has room for the new stuff.

I'm with you on that. Flipping namby-pamby spray varnisher types. Bottles and jars are much less hassle and last a lot longer.

Spent a useful couple of hours in the indoor warmth this morning varnishing Hanoverians and applying Vallejo water effects on some river sections.

Archers highlighted last night, there will now be a short pause as my mother arrives tonight, so no late night painting for me.

It's his mum, not his mother-in-law.

Actually, my mother-in-law is amazing, helpful, spends a lot of time with the kids, utterly generous, very understanding and hilarious.
My mother is a pain!

Oh well, I based my comment on my own experience. Bad luck old chap.

I find my mother is like having a fifth sprogg in the house AND she winds my wife up no end!  :'(

My mother-in-law compensates for our lack of a common language by always taking us out to a lavish Chinese-Thai dinner when we meet. Could be worse....

Ah, Tweed perfume!

I think my mum racked up about four years of Christmases/Birthdays in succession with that as the present of choice when I too was about 10!  Unlike sensible Granny Marge in the article, I suspect I shall be disposing of about 5 litres of the stuff when the time comes...  =)

Missing four stands of retinue billmen and two stands of lancers, plus the missing command figures for the archers I finished yesterday have been base coated and inked tonight.
14 different colours, three shades of ink. Yes, I'm that sad I counted!  :-B :-h

We are actually having leeks as part of dinner this evening. No mutton, admittedly, but I refuse to believe a wise and cultivated people like the Welsh eat mutton by choice.
