A New Hobby

On the 13th February, my son William was born!

Where Has all the Hobby Gone?

It's been a quiet month for me. I've moved house (across Melbourne- my biggest move yet! Thanks to all who helped)), work started back (hectically) and I'm still kinda preparing for being a dad soon. This leave little time for hobbying or gaming. The new house is pretty small; I'll appreciate that once we have to maintain it and raise a baby, but right now it leave little room to even paint. All my war-gaming stuff is still back at the old house.

However, I did get a chance to try a new game last week: Flash Point: Fire Rescue.

German Style People

You may or may not have played Settlers of Catan before. For those of you not in the know, Settlers is a German-Style board game, and for me is it the quintessential example.

A cast of 1000s

OK, more like a cast of (a) dozens. But I finished my Talisman characters!

Talisman

 Amongst many other great things I received this year for Christmas, Talisman was one of the more geeky things I received. My good friend Morgan got this for me, and I remember this being a classic fantasy-themed game.

Lebkuchen Manor

OK, so not a lot on the hobby front lately,but this is kind of hobby stuff. Well, a lot of the skills are transferable, so I can make that claim.

What happened to me?

In this poor excuse for a blog entry, I'll just be letting you know that I'm still alive, but just haven't really don't anything worth blogging of late.
I'd like to say that this is because of the Christmas season and that I've been very busy, but that's not strictly true. In fast, this has been one of the most laid back End-Of-Year periods I've ever experienced, due to a certain Industrial Action.

No, I think the only reason for my lack of hobby activity and the associated lack of blogging activity is Skyrim. That is all.

I'm on holidays now, so hopefully I can get my paint on a bit more in the near future. In the meantime, Merry Christmas!
