A Night Off

Well, this night off was more forced than volunteered. I noticed there were lots of blooping noises coming out of the kitchen sink and the toilet. This normally means that the septic tank has backed up. Oh yes, it had! So after a whole lot of swearing, I set to work.

An hour and a half later I got it cleared and running through. There was even more swearing when my phone dropped out of my pocket and fell into said Poo-filled hole. luckily it was in a relatively clear bit and I also had a hose and spade in hand so I got to it before it sank.

I managed to stay up until 20.00 and got this written ASAP before I fell asleep.

Spoil Sports

Well I made it back to work today… I was pretty much knackered for most of it, but hey I made it.

This evening I decided to have a bit of a go on Battlefield V on the old console. I had some epic games. I prefer to be an AA gunner as my reactions are, on the whole, too slow for ground combat. It’s really funny if you shoot someone down, they quite often spend the rest of the game trying to get you back. Which is cool… it becomes one on one. However in the last game some total baby evidently wanted to have a go on the gun and basically lost us the match as he was trying so desperately to get me off it that I failed to save my pilots from being attacked. We lost by two kills.

500 Steps

So in the sort of Words of the Proclaimers

“I will walk 500 steps and I will walk 500 more just to be the man who falls down at your door.

I managed just under one thousand steps today. Most of it has been spent feeling crap in bed.

I reckon I will still be here tomorrow if my wife is anything to go by. In fact the whole family is under the weather.

I couldn’t even be bothered to watch YouTube. Well I started watching It and kind of woke up to various Christmas crafting videos.

NEXT!

I really didn’t fancy painting the Sisters this evening.

The Steroids seem to be becoming less effective which is an absolute Bugger. I have already had to go back up a microgramme and it is looking like I will need to go back up again.

So instead of painting I built a few more Gallians, which will be undercoated and painted tomorrow.

The metal ones are for my mate. This pair arrived with the ones I painted yesterday. these are from Westwind miniatures.

I will of course be back with the ‘one coat’ paints tomorrow. 🙂

Painting Without Contrast

Eeeek! This evening I actually painted stuff without using any Contrast paint. It wasn’t really through choice. I started painting these miniatures for my mate about 12 years ago at the very least. Long before contrast was invented.

To be honest it was more a touch up and some painting to get them finished.

Back to Contrast tomorrow 🙂

Another Set Finished

Huzzah, I got the last of the printed goblins finished.

Not sure what I am going to paint next. I do have the Sisters as well as a few more knights that are printed. The sisters are undercoated so it may be better to do them.

I still need to decide what to do with the Tyranids.

Let’s be honest… I have so much crap to paint I could still be painting daily until Christmas and still have some for the New Year.

A Musical Evening

My Eldest performed a trio of songs this evening at the student showcase.

The talent was easy to see from all of them. There was everything from traditional fiddle music through Rock and Jazz and into electronic music.

A great night was had by everyone watching.
