Another Week in Paradise!

Building work still going on.  Periods of intense activity followed by long waiting times - remind you of anything?  Weather very changeable with lower than average temperatures.


Monday 31st July 2017 - WDW

"Sink One & Sea" - WW1 Naval
"Rebellion" (Black Powder) - Cowpens (AWI) in 15mm
"Baroque" - Grolle 1627 - Dutch v Spanish in 6mm
"Oregan" boardgame

DBM - Early Samurai v Yuan Chinese - a three-hander as Andy was away. 

In the centre I  was facing off against loads of Bw(S) & Bd(F) with only Bw(X), Bw(I) & Bd(I).  I could hear Frasier (Dad's Army).

My cavalry superiority on the left flank counted for nothing as my crummy infantry collapsed.  Another loss in a long series of failures - maybe I need a break!

Wednesday  2nd August 2017

I have workmen in yet again - the plasterer this time.  So I high-tailed it to the lauderette (my life is toooooo exciting).  Whilst wandering around Mapplewell library a tome caught my attention:

This is the first in the Tiffany Aching series (the only one that I have not read) so it has forced itself into my reading pile.  I'm close to finishing the Dr Who book so, maybe, it won't sit idle for too long!
