Give a busy man a task and it will get done. That was the theory at least. Nan’s been in hospital, we have an inspection in “work” and poor weather has meant no garage spraying time. But, are we discouraged?

While pretending to be preparing for an interview, why not spend Sunday evening filing camel riders down? Oh good, a number of them have separate arms…

Concentrate on getting the rather lovely Blaze Away camels cleaned up late Sunday night because some fool (me) used all the glue attaching all my American Civil war figures to their new cricket pitched size Blucher bases.

Monday after work- attach arms to limbless Arabs. Why not post this image to Facebook and then realise the archers arm is on the wrong side. Spend rest of evening fending off trolls and cutting off arms off defenceless African tribesmen. Christ knows where these figure came from………Darkest Africa, I guess…..

Tuesday evening and the Emir is fixed. He is now a very angry Arab and no wonder. Look closely and see the quiver that is now surplus to requirement. The phone rings and Mr. Jackson wants a practice game. Die Fuhrer is attending her small bore rifle club Christmas dinner so it’s time to sneak out…..

A victory for my Arabs follows but the camels are still not done. It will be dry on Wednesday?

No it won’t be dry for a pre-work spraying session. The wife is discussing the finer points of metal working with my mother in law and so it’s time to disappear.

By carefully propping open the bedroom window, one can spray indoors and your partner will never know…..

Big mistake!👀

Two more nights and they will be finished! Like to bet?
