One close friend has died, another has just had a stroke, a third waiting to go in for an op and another trying desperately not to go under the knife.
In wargaming terms I had lost my painting mojo, got fed up reading military histories, got stuck into clearing out some storage, started glueing some things together, started reading a non military history book, got my painting mojo back and am now wondering what the fuss was all about.
I have my freedom and that's what counts, and, it's my birthday tomorrow.
Here's a sneak preview of what I have been doing:

Keep watching!
Here's wishing you a happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteYep, sometimes "real life" gets in the way, and sometimes we need a little break so we can return all refreshed and ready to get cracking again. I like having various hobbies and reading tastes. It may mean I don't often get big projects done, but I can switch off to other things as and when I feel like it.
I'll be interested to see what your "secret project" is.
Yes, real life can be a pain sometimes.
DeleteMy 'secret project' will be revealed in stages soon enough.
Many happy returns of the day., Tony
