Not been watching the news have you?

Not the UK news, no

National parks look a bit different where I live http://www.colinmonteath.com/Colin_Monteath/New_images/Entries/2010/5/13_Cascade_Saddle_,_Mount_Aspiring_National_Park,_New_Zealand.html

Good to see the parks being expanded

Oh bumocks! Forgot you lived in NZ. Our parks are a little less spectacular and don't have any Hobbits.

Well Bragg's corps boxed off, Polks' corps started, and I had time for a Jacobite game as well.

Painting mojo gone South at present as too tired . 3 weeks holiday soon which should re-charge the batteries

Flesh highlighted, Hair in various shades painted and inked, at the same time I did wood and leather work. That's enough for tonight!

First two SYW battalions are based. Now for the von Bayreuth dragoons. Auf, Ansbach Dragoner!/Auf Ansbach-Bayreuth!/Schnall um deinen Saebel und rueste dich zum Streit!...like their exclamation marks, don't they? Though their rhymes are terrible, which is unforgivable in German.

High Elves done apart from gold work.
Picts most spent the night mysteriously generating plaid which hadn't been invented yet?

They wear something rather plaid-shaped over their shoulders in some of the carvings, don't they?

Indeed

Elves done.
Bronze work on both batches.
Picts shield bosses, spear tips swords and helmets, final plaiding painted, sorting out and whether or not I blue them up in woad will have to remain until I get home.

Drove home from Tenby (sorry Phil, will have to be another year) 
Finished three stands of Later Roman cavalry and six Auxilia figures.
Attempted to paint 40+ legionary shields.
Will go back and start those again tomorrow, maybe. 

Sob ! 

Not to worry, Matey.

Anyway.....been working away on the archers  for the Sam Apes. Right pains to get the piercing saw in the right places to do the tweaks.
Think I've done all the 'destructive' work on the first 15....So I can now start repairing them. (That'll be a lot quicker...and a lot more fun. )

Also had to phone Orange as we completely lost t'internet a couple of days ago.
Thank goodness it eventually sorted itself out. (So 'obviously' Orange HAD some sort of issue.)
I truly could not understand what the Orange operative was saying as he was trying to get me to check the PC at Techno Towers.

Also had an unexpected prezzie from a certain member of the forum.....which I'll thoroughly enjoy.
Have to say when I first opened the package, my first reaction was "What the 'heck' " has he sent me those for ! Took about 20 seconds to suss out what it was.

Thanks again, Nobby !

Remind me to ring the South Wales Police, Lewis has a stash of class A substances.

Not even close, Ian.
