janewilliams20Been a bit quiet, but I'm still here.
Next weekend I'm up at Mel's for Burns Night, and Dave is wargaming here with some friends. For this, he needs 40 20mm WW2 skirmish figures. He bought them, he bought the paints. Then he discovered that his eyes have changed, and he needs new reading glasses. So, I'm painting the figures. 40 of them. By Saturday. This has made a serious dent in my time: and the remains of the cough had already left me in work-eat-sleep mode.
Went along to backswording on Tuesday, as an observer only. Learnt a lot. Putting it into practice will be another matter.
Performance assessment time in work - went fine. I get to learn new toys in the coming year - .Net and Visual Basic. Sounds like fun.
Still playing Knight Fight, bit of Tribal Wars, though getting a bit bored with that now.
Oh, and I have Sossidges to make tonight - I want Haggis in sizes suitable for one. More casings (and a coarse cutter for the mincer) arrived yesterday. I will be haggis-making and painting figures tonight. Will try not to confuse the two.
