Guess My Pet

Share a photo of your pet and tell us one thing that makes them uniquely them.

For some reason this failed to upload on the required day…your task is to get my pet…

Her name is Spoog, well actually her name is Maggie, but for some reason she has become, Boog, Poog, The Spoog.. Drop It, what have you stolen. Stop it, Get Off… And ow when using tender parts of ones body as a launch pad!

She didn’t have the best start in life, but she seems way more settled now. Getting better with power tools but absolutely detests hard hats and high Vis.

Yes here she is….

Maggie ‘the Spoog’ Says Hello.

Huzzah… Nearly There

Yes, I have worked on the Florentine forces this evening…

Red feathers, bases and flags left to do.

There are a few bits and pieces I need to sort out… On some of the upright pikes I obviously forgot to remove some of the supports from the pikes…

I will get these cut off tomorrow. The other thing I need to do is to reduce the length of the pikes to primarily match the rest (they are too long to fit in my box).

I will get these finished tomorrow and sort out the Militia…. Aaaaargggghhhhh!

What I don’t Worry about Anymore…

What’s something you used to worry about but don’t anymore?

This is honestly not safe for work… apologies to anyone who gets offended… There is a radio version where all the naughty words are bleeped out.

I can’t really think of anything, but I remember, as a kid of about eight or nine, trying to work out how old I would be in the year 2000… What…How ancient?

Yeah 34! Ancient and over the hill.

I used to have a really huge dislike of seaweed… I think Jaws has something to do with that, similar fear of dark water.

I have gone sea kayaking in the dark which funnily enough meant I had to deal with the both of them… Sadly I cannot find the photos….

Mounted Troops

This evening I worked on the cavalry and the special characters…

Pretty much done apart from the  weapons and ostrich feathers. Still toying with red and white on the feathers. There are three feathers so I was thinking two red and one white.

I really should have done more, but am grumping that I am back to work tomorrow…in reality I forgot to bring the silver from the other room and can’t be arsed to go back through 😂.

Apologies for the self promotion… Actually I must get back to adding more to it.

Do I have a favourite Quote?

What is your favorite quote?

I haven’t really…

I am struggling to think of anything…I will have to go with this one.

“Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, you’ll be a mile away from them, and you’ll have their shoes.”

This is the Joke one I used with my classes in school…

“If at First you don’t Succeed…Cheat!”

Not really a quote, but I like it!

Back Home…

Safe and Sound. Yes we made it back to home. Sat on my sofa drinking Cappuccino. I will get on with the Florentine forces later on today (if I don’t have a little sleep).

My son is already building his Tiger…he went straight off to his desk and started as soon as he walked through the door.

Life Changing Tip

If you had to give one life-changing tip, what would it be?

What tip could I give that wouldn’t sound like some form of life coach guru…

So digging deeply as I can I have come up with a little gem.

‘Be Yourself and don’t be a shithead.’

If you ever worry that you are not doing things right…Just remember ‘Not Everyone could have been Kung Fu Fighting!’ it’s a lie that has become famous. I mean even if they were, extremely unlikely, were they all using expert timing? Hmmmm. What no beginners at all?

On the Boat

Wellll, that’s us back on the boat and waiting for departure…still got an hour and a bit to go.

Got to come up with a sneaky plan to counter this monstrosity…

I was thinking of making minefields, anti tank ditches or just not turning up.
