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.

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.

Waiting, waiting, waiting

So today is my bone density scan day. Arrived early for the appointment… I would like to say that the waiting area is crap. Good job I am not getting a body temperature scan… every time I move, this happens….

The seats are uncomfortable so I keep shuffling. There is no heating in this bit and the outdoor temperature is really chilly.

They have a mobile scanner up and this doorway is the closest to the truck. I shouldn’t really complain as it is free.

I Broke Myself

Sadly I managed to agitate my poly myalgia today. Basically the track needed re levelling. Basically it was time for its biannual digger visit. Even though I was sat in said digger I still managed to set everything aching. I therefore managed no painting this evening.

Having A Cyber Tidy Up

This evening I realised that I couldn’t get any more files onto my first external hard drive as it was full. This prompted me to have a bit of a sort out. Seemed I had multiple identical files on the drive. This actually took a lot longer than I thought it would.

I have noticed something of late to do with my Mini Factory. I follow a few designers, by a few I mean twenty odd. A while ago I got a free month of a designer’s Tribe (basically Patreon on MMF), this has happened a few more times. Actually for the last two I didn’t bother as they didn’t interest me. This week one of the ones I follow was offering 50% off. I got the same from another one last week too. It may be a coincidence, but I will now keep an eye on it

Finally… I still haven’t printed anything. Still painting the stuff I already have.

Holy Guacamole

This is a lot of grey plastic…

Is it too late to change my mind?

I know I like 3D printing, but, apart from the toxic chemicals, I reckon building these won’t have really taken much less time if any. (This is not including printing time).

I will consider bases tomorrow..

I decided I couldn’t be bothered to paint anything this evening. My wife is packing for a work trip. My eldest is filling in forms for their new job and one of the others is trying to get some homework done.

I will get back on with the goblins tomorrow.

Brave Frogs

Today and into this evening I built more Tyranids.

So I now have:

10 Neorogants and a node beast

5 Barbgzunts

3 Leaper

1 Tyranid prime

1 neurotyrant

1 screamer killer

1 psychophage

This is to add to the 10 termagaunts I did yesterday (I still have 10 to build… I ran out of steam this evening).

Here are the three big guys…

Part painted frogs beat grey plastic every time. see… brave frogs indeed!

I also did a smidge more on the goblins…

The frogs got their weapons and joints painted too.

I will try and get the last ten Tyranids made tomorrow. I will also have a think about bases.

Something a Bit Different

Well after a few games of Grimdark Future I have decided that sci Fi Gaming isn’t too bad. So, because I couldn’t be bothered to paint things this evening I made up some miniatures.

I blagged them off Joe, I thought these would be a nice easy sci fri arms to paint. These are snap fit ones… snap being an appropriate word. A number needed glueing as I somehow snapped pegs off in their holes.

Still a whole lot to build. Round two tomorrow.

Well Storm Betty, Mary or Fifi (or whatever it is called) has Caught up with my little bit of land. The Wind is coming from an unusual direction and both the porch and Conservatory are leaking. There has always been an annoying drip in the conservatory, when the win is from the South East. This time it is coming in in a number of places.

I am lucky however. I have a leak, some poor buggers on the mainland have lost their houses and livelihoods. So spare a thought for them not me whingeing on.
