I bought this game some time ago in a sale. I’ve never played it. My son found it in the loft and asked to play it. This filled me with trepidation! You see, my son has no truck with following the rules. He selected Darth Vader as his character and UPGRADED HIM! It’s great toContinue reading “Star Wars Imperial Assault Game.”

An hour’s fun.
It was like I was a kid again, only better. I bought 3 Zvezda tanks in 15mm scale. A British Matilda, an American Sherman and a German Ferdinand. I’d not bought from Zvezda before but had heard they have a great reputation, so I was confident of a good product. However what I got wasContinue reading “An hour’s fun.”
An error, I believe.
I’m in pain. Today was my first full day back at work since Christmas. I commuted on my e-bike and this morning there were only 2 bars on the power indicator. I thought I would have enough power to get to and from work. I put the motor into “tour”, which is low assistance, andContinue reading “An error, I believe.”
Busy day.
I have cut the grass, washed 4 machines of laundry, prepared lunch for 3 days and made 20 foot of hedgerow for war-gaming from green scouring pads and hot glue. Now to prepare dinner.
Scrub a dub dub.
We did a deep clean of our bedroom today. This is due to me finding “carpet moths” over the last week. We had an infestation a few years ago. There always seemed to be 1 or 2 moths in the front room no matter how many I swatted. We eventually found a “nest” under theContinue reading “Scrub a dub dub.”
A new take on potatoes?
I had a nice day today visiting family. We were treated to a chicken lunch which was delicious. The potatoes were cooked using an air fryer oven. They were very tasty and I am thinking of buying an air fryer. My son has “gone off” of certain potato preps – will eat roast and boiled,Continue reading “A new take on potatoes?”
A mundane day.
I had a couple of online meetings today. In between those I deep cleaned the downstairs bathroom/utility room. I also made a soup. I chopped 1 onion, 1 red pepper, 2 sticks of celery and 4 big carrots. I lightly fried them in a sauce pan for 10 minutes and then added 2 pints ofContinue reading “A mundane 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.”
