Hows everybody getting on guys, not seen you all for a wee while and wondered how you all are and what you doing.
Me personally so far so good I'm on a one month furlough from work, more than likely that will go to two months.
What am I doing playing asssorted computer games and painting the Ligne regt for my Austrians, started on the first batt and second one undercoated, and then hopefully get a hungarian regt for my second brigade, then arty and by then hopefully perry will have brought out their plastic cavalry range.

Been watching alot of TV.
The witcher very good, but if you haven't read the books, it jumps back an forward in time without telling you.
Letter to the King, teen heros but OK otherwisw.
The Last Kights OKish
Picard probably 7 0f 9 cancels out Stewart's overacting.
War of the worlds ( not the awful BBC one) jury out, aliens look like the Dalek's dogs.
otherwise haven't been painting much but intend to get back to it later today 15mm Brits for my French to shoot at, 28mm French sailors and Qing chinese.
reading my way through the Elric stories from the begining.

I, unfortunately, have had quite a bit of work to do over the past few days. So that has taken up much of my time.
Snap Mel, I finished reading Sailor on the Sea of Fate recently. Elric always makes me nostalgic for Dark Elves, for some reason... Also started re-reading the LOTR recently. The crap Tom Bombadil chapters stopped me dead for a while, but managed to drudge along through them! There aren't enough mind altering drugs to make Tom interesting.

I have started an Elric army for HOTT and planing a drow army too.

The thing I have noticed since the plague started, no one has called about the car accident I wasn't in, the insurance on my electrical devices hasn't expired, Microsoft haven't phoned about my malfuctioning PC and Sky/Virgin/BT haven't called either. I loved winding these people up and am missing their calls.

Have painted a big 15mm Classical Indian Army I got from Blue (that he got way back when he worked at Xyston), so they can go with my Persians, Hoplites and Macedonians that never leave the box.
Have listened to a lot of podcasts.
Watched Star Trek Picard, was okay I suppose. I miss when Star Trek was actually like Star Trek though.
Tom Bombadil actually stopped me completely when I first tried to read Lord of the Rings. It was years before I went back and continued.

seen it, illegal download. was good. Picard is good, Patrick Stewart over acts a lot but 7 of 9 makes it worth while.
Danny I was going to go for an Indian army too Museum Miniturea Z range look cool but only ! elephant and 1 command one. Xyston are usually my go to figs for ancients. when the plague is over I will bring a 15mm army up and try them out. you can choose from macedonians spartans republican romans or carthaginians.

Sorry Alan, I revealed your secret identity!
My cooking and baking skills have improved during this lock down (although they started quite low tbh). Old fashioned 'Southern' (rebel) style mac and cheese (with blue cheese) tonight!
