52 not out...

Today is my 52nd birthday.Tomorrow is Jan's 50th! I have had a busy day at work and have come home to a splendid meal of Chilli Con Carne,sundry other nachos etc and Theakston's old peculiar/red wine . One can do little better that such fare I feel.
Amongst other gifts I have the excellent new biography of  George Mackay Brown which I am looking forward to starting. The celebrations continue with my wife's birthday tomorrow as previously mentioned.
Moves to ponder for the ongoing campaigns later tonight.
I hope to get back to the painting at the weekend .Harfields emailed me to say that they were out of stock so I will have to wait a little longer for the ECW cavalry I ordered. Still this gives me plenty time do the infantry including some command figures and conversions.Are we not fortunate to have such a wonderful hobby!
p.s and Dad's Army on the t.v too !

    52, eh? . . . That means that you are (finally) playing with a full deck!

    As a bonus, the next couple of years will allow you to add jokers to your (now) full deck of playing cards.

    I hope that both you and your dear bride have WONDERFUL and wonder-filled birthdays.

    Syldavian cannons ring out in salute to the grand occasion!

    I wish you both very happy birthdays, hope you enjoyed the Old Peculiar (a personal favourite!).

    Happy Birthday to you and your better half Alan! The Markgraaf of Raubenstadt has ordered a cannon salute from the Fortress Felsigburg to mark the day.

    Theakstone's red wine?? Got to be worth a try at least... :o)

    Happy Birthday... their are very few days that are not made better by an episode of Dad's Army in my humble opinion...

    Well new travels slowly here in Trompenburg, but a belated fanfare rung out from the battlements of Schloss Gonchiestein. Hope you had a good one and the Mrs. enjoys hers too.

    Happy Birthday! I would suggest a birthday is an occasion to acquire new toys.
