Nothing much going on here in the Duchy. Work and Graduate school have kept me from getting anything done on the painting table, the game table (with a lovely ACW Portable Wargame set up ready to go..), or on the blog.
Herself and I have managed a few moments together, though, just to remember who that other person in the house is...
An early Saturday morning breakfast of "Norwegian Pancakes". I made the batter a little thinner and we have some brown Norwegian cheese we found at a specialty cheese shop with strawberry jam from Aldi.
The first use of our second-hand fire pit since we were gifted it.....ummmm...a couple of years ago? Tells you how exciting things get around the Duchy in the autumn.
This past weekend found me at a Civil War event in Mullica Hill, NJ. My unit normally portrays Company C, 28th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. But we also have a segment that dresses as Knap's Independent Battery, which was formed out of the 28th PVI early in the war.
Mullica Hill is a low-key, fun little dog and pony show. Kind of goofy, kind of fun. A day trip event this year as most of the unit will be at Cedar Creek this coming weekend. Sadly, work and school prevent me from going.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, beats campfire coffee...
Hopefully, this weekend, I'll trek up to Kingston, PA for another game with the PAWM crew. The Del-Val Gamers (our club of clubs) has their Game Day this weekend, but I would need to be very lucky to push lead and roll dice in two clubs in two locations in the same day.
More anon, but for right now, back to my research paper proposal.
"Break Over!", as we say in the warehouse.
Shouldn't that be "brown cheese and red spread" for breakfast? ☺
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling Eric; it's work, sleep, work, sleep ad nauseam and then "have fun! It's the weekend" - too tired just let me sleep....
It takes a real effort to paint and even update the blog before it's Monday again.....

A good observation, Neil! I like it. I suppose I should tell the story of how I chose the name for the blog.
DeleteIt shows how exciting things are when I am looking forward to getting stuck into Melville's "Moby-Dick" for school.

It's that time of year here where too many chores need getting done. Best I can do is take pictures of my figures 😕
ReplyDeleteAnd fine pictures (and figures) they are, Mark!

Keep smiling, it gets better.
ReplyDeleteIt will. I was just hoping for sooner rather than "in its own time"...
