I thought I was going to be in Florida catching fish during the birthday bash. Instead, I'll be at home painting.

The aim is to have a game of BKCII this afternoon/this evening. Still not sure whether to go the Balkans 1941 with Greeks vs Italians or some more AVBCW fun. Another option is a bit of a 'What if?' game with the Italians taking part in Operation Sealion. Still a few hours yet to make up my mind :).

Camping at weston super mare for the weekend with my wife.
It is wet and windy but we have an ancient Hymer motorhome which keeps us dry

No firm plans as yet - but likely to include making a start on painting my FPW French...and definitely some battling later - just can't decide what to play!

Miner's Gala in Durham to celebrate the Labour Movement, and listen to a speech by Ed Milliband and Chami Chakrabati.

Followed by a cleaning blitz on the house.

Heading South to my Grandmother's 99th birthday and a bit later driving through the Wilson Creek ACW Battle site.  I hope to take some pictures if actually get a chance to get to the park.

Well, the little painting elves in Sri Lanka have done their work and, in spite of all the efforts of the couriers to thwart them, delivered my 1866 Austrian infantry - fawsends of 'em!  So now I am in mega basing mode. It requires a degree of organisation which I rarely possess, but so far it's going OK. Helped by the fact that Fernando have done a brilliant job on what is, let's face it, a pretty tedious uniform, I am making progress 'cos I want to see them on the table - badly! For the first battle I'll need 360 line bases of four figures each and 60 jaeger bases, likewise.  So far 10 bases completed, another fifty ready for painting, another sixty with figures attached. So almost there, really!!!  ;) :-\ :-\

Doesn't sound like a good combination :( hope you feel better soon.

As for me, chores and recovering from the week, plus managed to watch the MotoGP qualifying and of course the Pendraken live feed 8) Hope you all had a great time at the birthday bash

Sunday hopefully will see some sculpting and painting before the obligatory visit to the in-laws....

Cheers,

Kev

Mollinary? Do you hear me?

Put down that box of white pills, boy! Now! Come on, do it!

That's right... There you go... Easy does it...

Now, turn round and keep your hands where I can see them. Good boy, the ambulance will be here any minute.

Hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as we did (except for those of you who were knocking down sheds, painting rooms, or any other strenuous activity, that doesn't sound much fun!)   :D
