Sunday's Day of Rest - Not

Did I rest today? No. I have so much that I want to get done before my life bogs down again.

I've started painting more Septics. So I've finished 4 two-man teams of LMG. One Bazooka team of two men. To break things up I finished the frigates for my Human Imperials for Uncharted Sea. All this while watching Primevil Season 2.

At 1:30pm I had to stop to watch my Poirot on Foxtell. This kept me entertained until 5pm, and sadly I did no painting or modelling during this time. David Suchet as Poirot is a master, and matched with Hugh Fraser (as Hastings) I enjoy myself immensely, as I engage those little grey cells.

So tomorrow it'll be back to painting. I've at least three more squads of Septics to paint, as well as the Sherman, 3 Half-tracks and the two recon jeeps.

Sadly I will find my weeks again broken up with hospital visits. Tuesdays and Thursdays now for six weeks. I feel like quoting some English monarch with something like "who will rid me of this troublesome priest" or in my case ill health!

Friday's Job Lot

At long last I'm at the point of feeling well enough to tackle the mountain of projects that have simmered while I've been in hospital.

Today I assembled and based my Imperial Fleet for Uncharted Seas. Tomorrow they should be dry and set on their bases: and good enough to tackle and finish off.

Worked on my Septic Tanks (that's Yanks for those who don't know). Assembled a half-track, Sherman, and two recon jeeps. Painting wise I completed two HMG teams, 4 troopers with flame-throwers and 4 snipers. All in 25/28mm scale.

My children finished 1st Term (or was it 2nd?). Report cards came home. Happy that Liam is getting his act together and his grades have improved. Dana's was not the best, but I'm sure she will improve. So two weeks of holidays.

I'll post some more photo's tomorrow.
