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 !

  5. 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.

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

  13. 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.

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