    Weekly Waffle #41

    So then, I feel another wandering weekly waffle coming on again this week with something of an eclectic mix for you this week. Game night again this week but unfortunately I missed it. Went out the car on Tuesday night only to find that the battery was dead and it wouldn’t start. Car hadn’t been used for a week so it was a bit of pain. Anyway I didn’t need it again until Friday so Dad to the rescue with some jump leads on Thursday night and things are working again. Top and bottom of it though is that I now don’t trust it to start when I need it…

    A bit of quite week for this week’s weekly waffle. No traveling for work which was a nice change and then no gaming club this week, so lots of time for hobby so that’s the only update for this week. I think that the mojo is starting to come back as I managed to get quite a lot of work done on the Masons. I know I said I was hoping to have them finished for today but I couldn’t quite manage that. But they aren’t far off. It’s just a case now of going over them and finishing off some the details and making sure I haven’t missed anything.…

    I think we’re in for another waffle heavy weekly waffle again this week. I don’t know what it is but I’m really struggling to find any motivation to actually get anything done at the moment. Don’t get me wrong I get myself all set up to do some painting, I know what I want to get done, I’ve got a few tunes on and I’m feeling good but I just can’t seem to move on from there. The dark nights don’t help but as I’ve said before this should be the best time to paint because there’s nothing else to do. And that’s another point, it’s not that I’m too…

    I managed to get some gaming in for this week’s weekly waffle. Well I say gaming I actually got a pasting but I’ll get onto that in a minute. Also introduced someone else to the joys of Guild Ball, had a trip to the sea side and got a bit more painting done. So gaming wise it was games night on Tuesday and I had a small game (I think about 60 points) of X wing. This gave me a chance to give my new YT-2400 a run around, and over a few asteroids. My mate Pete turned up for the fight with a Decimator so all things considered it…

    After last week’s weekly waffle bumper edition this week was always to going to be a challenge. There was no game night this so that rules out any gaming updates I might have been able to bring you. On top of that as I mentioned last week I’ve had to spend some time in Newcastle so that could have thrown a spanner in the works. However I’ve become something of an expert now at making the most of my time way, well when I can be bothered. And this week I’ve been bothered. So on the hobby front I’ve spent a couple nights in the hotel room, as opposed to…

    This week’s weekly waffle has continued the roller coaster of hobby ups and downs. At work on Tuesday morning to be told that I need to go to Newcastle for three days, nothing wrong with that but it puts a dent in my painting time. Not to mention that I would mean I would miss out on gaming night and a game of X-wing I had arranged with Pete. Well it keeps the bank manager at bay and at least I didn’t lose. But even though I’ve spent some time away I have managed to get some hobby time in although it has been very eclectic. First up I was…

  • Weekly Waffle #35

    Well for this week’s weekly waffle I’ve got something of bumper edition with all the pictures I have for you. Not all my own work but I’ll get to that later. First off we had our first gaming night for a few weeks this week and got absolutely no gaming done. We just sat round drinking cups of tea and talking about the abundance of different games out there and what we were interested in. A couple of interesting things came out of this. The first was Al talking about Frostgrave which is something I’ve had an interest in so we may be looking at this in the not to…

    So what I have I been up to for this week’s weekly waffle, the simple answer to that is not a lot, but I do have a few updates for you. I know that sounds a bit nonsensical but I’ve had a week off work so I’ve had loads of time on my hands, but rather that try and get loads of things done I’ve just been lazy. Well not totally lazy but I’ve only sat down to paint when I’ve been in the mood. The result of that has been that what time I have spent painting has been quite productive. Just goes to show you can get more…

    Not a great deal to update you on this week’s weekly waffle so I’m going to cheat and add in lots of pictures. No game club again this week so no gaming to update you and I haven’t been able to get any work done on the brewers this week. As I mentioned last week I’ve got something of a gammy eye and have had to have an eye patch on for most of week. This has had two very distinct effects. On is that it’s made me look I’m making a really poor attempt to be a pirate and the other that with one eye you have no depth…

  • Weekly Waffle #32

    This week’s weekly waffle has been something of roller coster for my on the hobby front. I finally started to get my mojo back for painting but had had to spend a couple of day up in Newcastle for work. Then on the way back my right eye started to feel really sore and by Thursday morning I it felt like I had a piece of chopped chilli trapped under my eyelid, which I wouldn’t recommend. After navigating the bureaucracy that is the NHS it turns out I have an ulcer on my eye. Nothing that can’t be sorted but it’s going to be sore fore a while. The only…
