Daughter is sick so I'm at the house while the wife is at work. Great time for painting but I'm all out of primed figures and it's a bit too damp to prime any figures - plus, I have no craft sticks to put them on anyway.

So until I get a chance to hit the craft stores later this afternoon I'm just spending time on the internet, cleaning figures and probably will be finishing a first draft of a set of operational WWII rules I'm writing.

Sweet FA on the box tonight, wife at work, take away to order, beers chilling outside in the shed and a small game of Bolt Action lined up. If i finish that too early I might drag out Space Hulk and bung some more dice 8)
I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

Had planned on some painting done but our Son got his thumb caught in a door and now has one hell of a bruise under the nail. He's calmed down now but needs a lot of TLC tonight. So plans changed to a bit of painting comp planning followed by two hours of Borgen :).

Making some jungle ruins using Minibits palm trees and MDF circles plus some Hirst Arts bricks and various plastic aquarium greenery.
Life is too important to be taken seriously.

Basing my first ever pendraken units, well enough for 3 bases, then chilling with a nice bottle of red and watching pulp fiction followed by sucker punch. I can only dream of a takeaway as all we have here is mcdonalds.

Now doing lesson prep, with a table covered in really distracting bags of lead as I also work out what to paint for the comp!

Found me dragon and fantasy human boxed set, got me tribbles, found three lots of Goblin archers (and I've just ordered some more) and a pile of Falklands stuff! !
;D

Hi everyone
                I have managed to rebased all the infantry just need to put finishing touches on, I've also revarnished all of the vehicles.

Based coated and inked two more buildings last night, then...

One dragon, three stands of Goblins, two units of fantasy 'medival' knights, some Late Roman light horse archers, Auxilia command and Saxon command bases assembled, plus a couple of FPW French corps commanders and a Tribble Triumphant ;)!

I like February, it allows me to start units that I can finish throughout the rest of the year when I get bored of Franco-Prussian troops!  ;D

Sunday morning - running around like a blue-a***d fly gathering up all the necessary bits and pieces for the club game. Bound to forget something, even when I've been through the checklist twice.  :'(

Found out last night that some sh*ts had tried to break into our garage (again) >:(. So have spent most of the day getting everything as secure as I possibly can, short of welding the up-and-over door shut!

Fingers crossed I will get some painting in tonight...

Thanks for the offer Nik :). Chatting with our neighbour a few days ago she said that in the 60's nobobdy locked their garages! How times have changed :(.

Dirty thieving bar stewards, annoys the hell out of me things like this.  Is the only access from the front of the garage, or is there a back door to it?  We completely blocked the up and over door at Dave's house a few years ago, so there's no way the door could open, and secured the back door instead.  Of course, that's of absolutely no use to you if the front is in constant use.  :(

I've managed to write a whole 27 words of my novel.  Not exactly the chapter I was hoping for. :'(

Well, better twenty-seven words of Jane Austen than a whole volume of Len Deighton. Were they twenty-seven good words?
