This week’s pledge is to wait for my painting competition model to arrive, then get that painted up.

• Being ill, sick and bed ridden: is hobby still a thing for you? Maybe even a way to get over the sick days? – If I’m ill whatever energy I have left inevitably goes on to Dad duties, leaving nothing left for hobby.

Pledge – To stop printing out new things until I have painted at least one of the backlog. Maybe get a project going. Paint a fricking space marine. Order and try out some filler primer spray.

@sundancer – sorry to hear you’ve had it so rough. Hopefully you’re back on the mend and soon be raring to go again.

@sundancer Sorry to hear you have been under the weather. Glad to hear you are better now.
I’ve been sorting out my house for a viewing and am now on a mini-break for the weekend which have both reduced my hobby output to nothing.  I did stop in a bookshop at Hay-on-Wye and get some hobby books so not a total hobby loss.  I got Tony Bath’s Hanni…[Read more]

Pledge: getting better and maybe even do some hobby. But mainly get better

Answer: No. When I am really sick (like I was from Thursday through to Saturday with fever peaking at 39.2°C) I only want to do one thing: sleep. I lay in bed almost 48 hours straight. Accordingly my back now hurts but I feel much better. Spearing you any details but the…[Read more]
