Aaaand we’re steering back on topic, considering how upcoming Kickstarters will likely be seeing changes in their stretch goals. Since there have been so many which source from Asia the likelihood of delays and messages about production issues will be greater. I remember both Kingdom Death runs and those were really rough because of the…[Read more]

I knew it – a Shrek phone! 😂

@grantinvanman – My Hollister bootcuts from ca. 2010 or so are holding up fine, thanks for asking. I dislike polyester, but did have to get some very cool and very cheap polyester t-shirts from Temu over the past year or so because cool Dragon prints. I used to go out Saturday nights, but the only surviving club worth going to is kinda dead on…[Read more]

This week’s pledge is to just do a bit. My new job involves a lot more travel time which is almost completely displacing hobby time at the moment. I’m hoping after a few more weeks I’ll get used to it and be fitting everything in again.

• How do you deal with two weeks and no weekender/XLBS plus time adjustment?! – I’m fine. Not had much spare…

A little late to the party but hi everyone.

Pledge is to get a wee list together of some epic scale sci fi minis for a wee game that we’re hopefully playing this coming weekend. This glorious, four day weekend. We don’t get many of the public holidays in libraries so I like to take as much enjoyment out of it as I can! Should drag my Spring Clean…[Read more]

Today is the end of Q1 of 2026. Where did all that time go?!?

Don’t ask me. I’m still trying to figure out where the last 50 years went!

How is everyone else getting on?

Since I haven’t pledged (I didn’t didn’t I?) I’m golden! haha!

Today is the end of Q1 of 2026.  Where did all that time go?!?  I’m checking in with this month’s total which is 71 or equivalent completed.  That takes the annual total to 275/365.   Only 90 to go and I should be through those by early May if I can keep this rate up.

Recent completions included plenty of things for Warriors of Athena.  Typic…[Read more]

Don’t knock it. The best Dr Who was Tom Baker and you dont need no BetaMax to watch that, its on iPlayer. If you have tried buying anything for your house you will see how brittle it is. I have bought items made for outudoors that they make out o plasic an it gets weathered and brittle in no time.

I have been looking at stuff from Wargames…[Read more]

@pagan8th good choice, good timing – the trick is finding your “new normal”, especially in the first year – that’s my experience. It sounds like you’re doing the right things. Adjustment was the hardest part. I think you’re further ahead than I was at the same time.

I retired because they were asking more of me and neither managers, nor customers seemed to appreciate me.

Since I retired, when I bump into my former colleagues, they always tell me I got out at the right time. At least a dozen people have left the company since I left… guess that makes me a ‘trend setter’ 🙂
