Well, that was a bugger... But hey, it's a time of russet leaves and misty morns, just around the corner.

 

Well, on one hand, the memsahib is on the mend after her heart failure, although it's going to be a medium to long recovery, so it's unlikely that we'll not be at any shows for the rest of 2025. That said, it will mean that my blood pressure will be lower as I will not have to witness any of the myriad concatenations of asininity which have me in a fit of blogging apoplexy.

Consider yourselves spared, and I shall do likewise.

The cool weather this week, made me decide to call it a day on Summer, and so, I dug out the autumnal floral display which each year, grows a little and is now almost 4 feet high and growing. If there's one thing I like more than a nice cushion, it's an autumnal floral display.

I'm resigned to having to have worked 12 months without time off this year, but I hope I can manage it. I mean, I still have my best friend in the world, and the 14 restaurants we had booked, were great about the cancellations with one exception. That was quickly rectified, when I sent one of my renowned 'blazers' to put a few things straight in polite but no uncertain terms.

My 'last hurrah' project is going well. I just commissioned that last 18 cavalry and 16 infantry regiments, some 1100 or so figures. At that point, that's me done.

The sheer joy of 52 figure ECW regiments is very appealing to my sensibilities. I have always gone with the traditional 30s, but this time, I though 'fuck it, let's go big on this one'.

Well, if you will excuse me, I better go and get on with the day's toil as I am running behind today and that means a later finish.
