Just got back from 9 nights of Tenerife, great holiday (though I don't really like flying), now still a small week before work calls again on the 28th

Now that's what I call a vacation !! Must have been beautiful.

It sure was! If you ever visit do the Teide by Night tour, really something special

It was, but a hot one as well. Armenian heat is truly punishing. :blush:

Were you by the sea? Somehow it must be pretty scenic there.

Armenia dosen't have access to the sea. :icon_wink: There is however lake Sevan, a truly huge and impressive body of water, which could easily work as one. :biggriin:

No worries Art. Before my trip I also thought that they are right next to the Black Sea. :biggriin:

Thursday 31st August 17.30 and in my 49th year of toil, I became a man of leisure ...................................

Friday Sept 1st - my first day and I went to a funeral, which I hope is not a portent of what is to come.   :engel:

So starting to clear out my home office of all the work related catalogues, files, papers and assorted crap, and make more hobby room.  :biggriin:

With all this time on my hands who knows I might even paint some stuff.  :biggriin:

Clear it out! Burn it! Trash it! Forget about it! Make that room!!!!! If I could ever hope to retire I would not miss it for a bleeding second. NOT ONE SECOND!!!
Congrats Sir! Enjoy to your hearts content.

I don't care about the rules.

He needs a permanent paint setup in his home office.


And quick, before his wife "needs" the room.

Have one  on Midaski's tab.  :::cheers:::

A "Conscious Realignment" of home space is being undertaken.

Mrs has made Guest/2nd Bedroom the 'alternative' TV room.

The original games room - which has had a pretty permanent painting area for a while now, is being used for the redistribution of unwanted items.
The attic is being emptied to see what is actually up there, and what we want to keep, sell, or bin.

My office will remain as a place for domestic paperwork and such, and my PC, but the removal of all my work related catalogues and such should free more modelling space. It is a bit crowded with minis storage so I may need to find some extra space for that.


My machinations will hopefully lead to more hobby space.

I need to get some image hosting facility - I had been quite busy with scenery stuff earlier in the year.

-yes, yes  of course 😸

'I need to get some image hosting facility - I had been quite busy with scenery stuff earlier in the year.'

I have tried Wordpress and it's been great. Free, easy to use and can be a complete blog space if you want it all for nothing. I havnt tried that part yet but the rest is really solid.

Going to play a "Megagame" called The World Turned Upside Down around the American Revolution hosted at Guilford Courthouse Battlefield.

Seems the rules are D&D mixed with a type of model UN.

I went to Atul Kochhar's restaurant 'Benares' with my family for dinner last night in Mayfair, London. We had the kitchen table so you can see all the service and workings of the kitchen going on in front of you while you eat. It was amazing. Food was top notch and the wine flight was paired to perfection. Started with a bottle of Bollinger.

If you like Indian food then you have to go. Just don't get landed with the bill, like i did, if you can avoid it!
There are 40 different shades of black, so many fortresses and ways to attack.

So why you complaining!
