UPDATE.

I write this weeks update in a brief interlude from decorating. As I mentioned in previous posts my wife has decided that the whole of our house needs upgrading. This started with remodelling of our bathrooms, extended into redecorating every room and is now moving into a new kitchen. Her view is that if we do it all at the same time the resultant mess will be over all in one go. It looks like the bathrooms will be done in January with the kitchen in November or maybe in January too.  So logic, hers that is , says I may as well do all the decorating now and who am I to argue !!!!!. So far the three bedrooms have been redecorated, two bathrooms de-tiled, replastered and  partially repainted ready for the plumber and the dining room also partially repainted.

So with decorating taking up at least four days a week, my modelling time has been very curtailed and will continue to be so for the rest of the year, hence why there was no update last week or even book reviews. This afternoon however I have managed a bit of a catch up.

Over the past two weeks I have managed to complete the first batch of light GS trailer upgrades and have assembled another batch which have been rebuilt and now await painting together with a batch of heavy GS trailers that required the addition of spare wheels, another of my equipment upgrades. The third Cavalry batch has made no progress however. With my wife out for the day  tomorrow I have been granted a day off so I hope to make good progress with these tasks.

With this posting are the reviews of the last two books I have read. Following my recent birthday I was very pleased to receive, apart from new slippers !!!!!!!!  six new books, all selected by me of course, which I look forward to reading and sharing on this blog just as soon as I have finished my current read of an old book from my library.

On another matter, I have been corresponding recently with Ian Dury who suggested I consider writing about the imaginary world in which my armies exist including the various campaigns and battles I have fought in my head and the enemies with which my armies contend. I did mention some time ago in a post that this idea had occurred to me too so I am very pleased that Ian thinks it would make an interesting series of articles. Some time ago I drafted the initial post on this subject and I will review that and hopefully publish it in the next few weeks.

Thanks Ian for your support and encouragement.
