Back in town

I know that it has been a long while since I posted here and thanks to those of you who were coming by to visit whilst I have been elsewhere. A lot has happened since my last post so I’ll sum it up very quickly:
1) Got married to Kim (the love of my life!)
2) Went on honeymoon to South Africe (thanks John for spoiling that surprise!)
3) My Uncle John passed away the day after I got back from honeymoon and so went to the West Midlands via Portsmouth for the funeral.
4) We decided to re-decorate the lounge, which involved three 1.5 tonne Hippobags to take away the rubble we removed.
5) Well that’s all really – hopefully my retribution figures arrive soon!

Wedding again

Well my last night being single in Kent!

Soon I will be married and sharing my life with the lovely Kim.  She gets half of everything I have – so that is half of the house, half of the lounge, the whole of the kitchen, half (maybe three quarters) of the bed and duvet.  For some reason though she doesn’t want half of the lead collection – I don’t understand why that is…

I need to spend some time tomorrow working on my speech – otherwise it is going to be really short, I’m sure that some people wouldn’t complain about a short speech.

Wedding

Well its only one week away now!  Wow! I have mixed feelings at the moment on the one hand I can’t believe that I’m getting married – still seems like it’s happening to someone else, and secondly I want to get it over with.  I really am looking forward to spending the rest of my life with Kim, so much is going to change.

I’m finishing off printing the order of service at the moment, I think I’ve printed way too many covers but at the moment I don’t care.  Still I better get back to work otherwise I won’t have finished in time to go out with Kim and bring her home for the last time from Croydon!

Weekend in Holland

So I’m currently sitting at my soon to be in-laws surfing on the computer -great fun!

Came over to Holland with my fiancee to attend her Brother’s wedding.  It was an interesting affair even though most of it was in Dutch.  It was a long day with the Bride and Groom leaving the party at about 1am!

Top 25 Women in Sci-Fi

I was just surfing the net when I came across this list of the top 25 women who shook Sci-Fi, http://totalscifionline.com/features/3566-the-25-women-who-shook-sci-fi

Most of them make sense and I’ve seen most of them in action even, although there are a few that I films that I haven’t seen, I know it’s terrible isn’t it.  Oh well when my moderation work is finised perhaps I can get round to watching some of the backlog of TV and DVDs.

Buying Paints.

Normally I avoid going into Games Workshop to purchase paints, however I knew I was short on Dwarf Bronze and some of my greys have started to dry up (really need to use them more often).  So I went in on Saturday to GW in Canterbury and as we went in I said to Kim “I’ll ask what I’m painting at the moment.”  I pick up the paints go to the counter and the first words out of his mouth is “So what are you painting at the moment?”  Well the answer Wolves of Orboros leave the guy stumped and the responce “Never heard of them.”  I state that they are for “Hordes” gives the responce “So do you play any of our games.”  To which I state “I’ve moved on.”  The look on his face was priceless and well worth the pain of going in there.  Still on with the painting!

Gardening

Good sunny weather and obviously that most mean Gardening time, oh how I love gardening.  Anyhow it has been a fuitful day.  Kim has spent the afternoon tidying up the front garden and define the borders from the lawn, although I’m not sure which plants are going to grow back .  I spent the afternoon cleaning up behind the summer house and then painting the fence with creosoting some parts of the fence that I had never seen until Paul helped me take the old big shed down.  I then started to put together the new plastic shed that we bought to put the gardening tools in, low and behold the door hinges are missing, ARGH!!!!  B&Q had closed so guess we’ll be off there in the morning and then I really must get some school work done, lots of coursework to mark.

Paul and new games

Why oh why does Paul always have to point out the latest game that has such nice figures…..

I just love the vehicles that they produce and am trying to justify them in terms of games I already play, please tell me that this isn’t wrong….  Nooooo must save money – need to pay for wedding – me wants pretties….
