The day started well as both my wife and I were working from home and the children were at school. Let’s just say we had a leisurely start to our day. I earned brownie points by deep cleaning the upstairs bathroom. Everything in there was washed and polished to within an inch of its life!Continue reading “Fantastic day.”

Glorious day 2.
It’s amazing how much my spirits have been lifted by the arrival of Spring. I was doing a bit of shopping at the local shopping precinct. Normally a mundane activity but was almost a joy in the sun. I painted 5 garden chairs with black Hammerite paint. I like these chairs. Once you get theContinue reading “Glorious day 2.”
Glorious day.
As we’ve entered British summer time I spent the day tidying up in the garden and putting the garden furniture out. To be honest the chairs need a coat of paint, which is tomorrow’s job. By 3pm I was all set and sat in the sun reading my book. By 3:45 I had to comeContinue reading “Glorious day.”
Useful day today.
I’m annoyed. We had the house re-rendered just before Christmas. I had noticed a wet patch by the front door and it turns out the waste pipe has been broken off and gaffa taped back on! It’s broken off in the fitting so the whole thing will have to be taken apart, which means hackingContinue reading “Useful day today.”
Down a rabbit hole …
You know how you can lose hours looking at the internet? I’ve had one of those days. Saturday is usually a domestic day, with laundry, vacuuming the carpets and doing a big shop. In between those things I went down a wargames rabbit hole. I stumbled upon a blog by a chap who I playContinue reading “Down a rabbit hole …”
What a Tanker.
I found the What a Tanker stuff in a bag whilst looking for something else. It is a table top game from Too Fat Lardies, writers of some very good rules. I thought the game would lend itself to solo play and I was rusty on the rules. I decided on a training mission betweenContinue reading “What a Tanker.”
Feeling positive about Necrons.
Once I have assembled the miniature I glued some sand to the base with PVA glue. When dry I have sprayed the whole model with silver paint. I’ve lots of old paint pots from Citadel Paints, P3, and others. Most are gunky and over 10 years old. I found a green that had some lifeContinue reading “Feeling positive about Necrons.”
What happened?
I used to wargame competitively. In the noughties I played Warhammer fantasy, 40K, Blood Bowl and Warhammer ancients. Roughly 6 times in the year I would travel with my friend Steve and other friends to a tournament. We played in Sheffield, Birmingham, London, Blackpool, Portsmouth and I also ran a few tournaments myself. One ofContinue reading “What happened?”
What’s that smell?
There has been a smell similar to the disinfectant Dettol by the door to the under-stairs cupboard. Last night it was particularly strong. I went to bed mistified. When my wife decided to come to bed she couldn’t turn the living room lights off. The dimmer switch was very hot and she was concerned. SheContinue reading “What’s that smell?”
