All of the Star Wars things 

I now have about 12 of the die-cast display ships, a massive figure of Boba Fett, four out of the six "William Shakespeare's Star Wars" books(!), some new slippers - as my old ones can wander the house under their own power - a Darth Vader 3D mug off my nephew, a "Jedi" dressing gown, a Lego Millennium Falcon (off myself), a Lego Star Destroyer and many other SW related items.
My Mrs is awesome 
Oh, little man got me the SW Lego kit of "Rey's Speeder Bike" which he was kind enough to build and play with for me.....     


My mother got me a Yoda statuette and series 3 of Ripper Street on DVD.

All around, t'was a rather awesome day 

I had a very special Christmas with my three girls . l I got to spend my first Chistmasy Day actualy on Dec 25th with them in 11 years.  partly due to shifts, but mainly due to my Ex making it difficult.

I got a painting of a spitfire from my youngest (17) that she had done herself.  It was very good. Various things to eat and Drink.

A funny T shirt and some smellies  from Mrs Orcs and a realy cool jigsaw of a diagram of a Lancaster Bomber. Our main present to each other is going to be a short break to Iceland.

No actual wargames related stuff this year.  To be fair I did not ask for much, as I have too many projects on at the moment. 

Eldest daughter's birthday today, we went to the panto, then yummy tea at the in-laws!

These were the gifts I received as part of two blogging events.

Santa Clause - stipulation being, paint up a miniature(s) to the value of no more than £5. [hints can be given to aid gift choice]


Secret Santa - stipulation being, spend around £15 on hobby items. [hints can be given to aid gift choice]


As you can see, the two photographs bear the names of the respective blogging events they belong to. The 28mm Pianist and Piano will be used to help populate my Old West games, and the 1/600 ACW boats will help me to sort out games of Hammerin' Iron or Smoke on the Water.

Obviously, I don't know who were my Secret Santas. Whomever you are, Thank You. I very much appreciate these two gifts.

Got a few Amazon vouchers . Need to have a good look about.Was going to pick up BBB if Amazon sold it but I don't think they do

Some Mike Embree bboks, a book voucher and some cash. So a happy bunny

A stroll around Urbino, followed by tagliatelle with wild boar sauce, excellent roast rabbit with truffles, chicory and potato salad, and a rather good semifreddo. In addition to having to finish the better half's duck, since she constantly fails to anticipate the size of Italian servings.

Nice! Really Nice!

I got a bunch of pre-painted TYW figures (Pendraken as it happens) from my wife (I think because I've kept my wargaming stuff off our dining room table) AND three very quiet days with our family.

Just spent sone Xmas money on An Imperial class Star Destroer for Star Wars armada; WOW , it puts out a LOT of attack dice!

Whisky and a walk in the wet with a muddy puddle loving hairy Alsatian. These little joys...

Daft dog we walk (a Saint Bernard) dodges puddles as he doesn't like getting his feet wet, but then he'll wade out into deep streams till only his back and head are above the surface. It must make sense to him 

I've lost my glasses. Sorting out my lead mountain and can't see what I'm looking at. 

A new coat and shoes from Ma Subs ready for Poland next month, the obligatory bottle of wine, chocs, a starmap with the constellations marked on it, more chocs, smellies and associated 'stuff', a copy of Stormbird, Iggulden's War of the Roses book  and a copy for Genghis Khan and the Mongol War Machine by Chris Peers.
