Electricity, we have a solar hot water system on the house.
There’s a couple of small issues for the contractor to sort out, mostly because we have the system split between the shed and the house.
But it’s already providing power and the excess shed be feeding back into the grid.

Amazon has caused some confusion by listing my latest book in an unexpected category. Here’s a newsflash about the problems it has caused.

There was another edition between the white books and the hardcover books. It was three books with red card covers in a box, this was the one I started with. The ‘McDeath’ and ‘Bloodbath at orcs drift’ supplements were also published about the same time I think.
Yes. The rule of cool is definitely in play here.
A #28mmScale ‘Schilidkrote’ from Slave2Gaming.
Putting together a #28mmScale ‘Schilidkrote’ I picked up from the Slave2Gaming stand at #Cancon2026. It’s part of their WW2141 range and it’s basically a hover stug, it should fit in nicely with my other weird WW2 German units.

Lots of well painted miniatures and terrain to photograph.
That’s #Cancon2026 for Beth & I this year.
Great time playing games in the #LardZone, checking out the traders and catching up with a mate who is down from Townsville.
Now to spend the rest of the time before heading home to Tassie with the Granddaughter.
#SpreadTheLard
Arrived in Canberra yesterday & I found myself in a game store. I grabbed one of those headlamp magnifiers that are all the rage for #WarGamers of a certain age.
I also brought my travelling painting kit to spend sometime painting #ASongOfIceAndFire #Miniatures with my son in law.
Oh! Happy day! #StriderTheFoxHound is four years old today. Happy birthday. #IronTail, #WardenOfTheTopYard, #LiberatorOfSocks & #LordOfTheSnout.

New years’s day 2026.
Less a few broken pieces and a couple that spun off into the never never, the firefly is complete. Now for some paint, as I push ahead with a pace of a slightly startled snail. 🐌
#FestiveTankChallenge
Continuing to assemble the two kits for this year’s #FestiveTankChallenge.
The US M4 is complete but the firefly seems to be made out a different plastic that it quite brittle. As a result there has been a lot of Festive cursing.
The real meaning of box day
Boxing Day
Loud and proud!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
While technically not part of this year’s #FestiveTankChallenge, here’s one I prepared earlier.
It is a Sherman tank and it’s definitely festive 😉
A small start to this years #FestiveTankChallenge, starting with World War Toon Sherman Firefly and then there’s a ‘normal’ (tongue in cheek there) M4 also in queue as well 😉
‘El Cid is dead!’
Definitely beats the country of ‘white snake’ in the original version of ‘Bastard’ 😅
Or such board shoulders.
An iPad with the kindle app open and Lard Magazine 2025 loaded.
Festive period reading material ready.

I haven’t really felt like a #WarGamer lately … maybe because they are really gamey.

The image is of a comic. Panel one depicts Santa Claus. He says, "Have you been naughty or nice?" Panel two depicts a happy dog. He says, "I am ALWAYS a good boy." Santa responds "Very nice!" Panel three depicts Santa again. He says "...And you?" Panel four depicts an orange cat climbing a Christmas tree, turning his head to look back at Santa.
It’s called “the suspension of disbelief”.
