Thought we should have one, really. The general thread for how we are, what we're doing, et cetera.

How about going completely mental.......4 weeks into the kids summer hols
Add to that my chronic fatigue syndrome and fondness of all things anxiety and depression related and you get the picture...............well you did ask.
But life goes on, keep chin up etc etc etc. Been like this for years now so used to it. What Im not used to is my daughters encroaching puberty...........God give me strength !!
Apart from that everythings fine and dandy. Got some more sculpting done today on the mounted herders and the wife's sister has had a baby so thats keeping her busy/off my back.

Looking forward to getting some twilight painted. Got lots to paint and finishing off some Hordes/Warmachine models I'm half way through before a big push on Delgon infantry. I still have the final details of my Tower to paint and pictures to post, as well as an unassembled stables. The never ending (and growing) list of unfinished projects... but not this weekend 'cause I'm in Belgium for the F1

Far too tired, but hopeful that I might actually get a much-needed week off work next week
We had a big game of Warmachine a couple of week's ago (trolls vs khador) which has sparked some renewed interest in painting - I'm channeling that towards painting Delgon at the moment

I'm in here in sunny (should say rainy) Florida - soaking up almost 100 degree weather. My 5 year old daughter started school yesterday ( kindergarten ) and my 16 month year old son is currently destroying my home. He has now discovered he can open the kitchen counter drawers. I work 50 hours a week and have been exhausted to paint miniatures (since the only time I can even start is almost 9pm) although I have assembled all my Twilight models (except for one Baruk
). I usually get to play warmachine more than other wargames/board games. My main faction is Cryx, but I also play Trollbloods/Searforge/ and have a small Cygnar army. I'm also trying to get my group to try out This Quar's War. But I'm still assembling figures. I hate multi pieces figures. I wish I knew more about about Cryx models before I decide to start playing them, lol. Stupid 9 piece each Bane Knight infantry unit and that 30+ piece Deathjack that took 18 pins!
Anyways, everybody is relatively healthy and life is good.

I assembled and painted one of those huge warjack thingies for a commission a good while ago. The amount of cutting,filing and pinning was crazy. Cool model but very poor fit.

I think they have generally gotten better with newer sculpts. Main main issue is the general lack of scale control

Warmachine does have a very nice range of figures. I do tend to grumble about the insistence on all non-humans being anthropomorphics (pig men, fish men, gator men) or standard races, but I then end up buying them anyway
I've got quite healthy sized armies of Khador and Circle, a large proportion of which are even painted!
I've got next week off, which is very exciting! Hopefully I'll have some time to do hobby-type stuff as well as enjoying time with my family (Lexie is eight months old today!).

From a much more jenta-ish view of the world, I got GCSE results back recently, verrrry happy (13 A*s, 1 A, and an A at AS). Which probably only shows the extent of grade inflation, but hey-ho.
Really want more painting time, or sculpting time, but I'm also trying to write a lot and the two things aren't terribly well fitted for space...

Cool, I was going to ask how the exams went. I had a feeling you'd do well
What's your next step?
Just got back from a week's house sitting near Stevenage. Wasn't quite as much of a holiday as I'd hoped, but yesterday we went to a big craft fair with lots of stalls and a Saxon village and I attempted to throw a pot (as in, on a wheel, not random crockery ammunition).
Looking forward to September when I will also be returning to the world of education to do a Postgrad Diploma in careers guidance.

Well done with those results Jubal - those are ridiculously good, even accounting for grade inflation!
Holidays are great. I've got this coming week off! I only got it confirmed on Friday, so no chance to plan ahead, which means we have a relaxing week planned

Hehe, thanks all! Doing History, Physics, Maths, Further Maths, and Chemistry A Levels starting next week.
@Beth, purely out of interest, what's your day job (prior to this diploma)? Pot throwing sounds good!
