Hello folks, just a quick note to confirm that a) I’m not dead, incarcerated, abducted, ill or awol, and b) I haven’t burned my brushes in some spectacular artistic rage-quit tantrum. No, I’m afraid that my recent lull has a far more mundane explanation – my house is a building site at the moment, and 40% of it is out of action so I have nowhere practical to paint or model. That, and a sudden influx of OU work has effectively seen me cease any meaningful hobby time. Is it fun? Hell no, but it isn’t permanent either, and all things pass with time.
I’m really looking forward to the building work finishing soonish and picking up where I left off – assuming I can remember which end of the brush to hold! Meanwhile, I continue to follow those blogs that I enjoy & so get my hobby kicks vicariously for a while, (and boy, is there some great stuff going on out there!). Keep on trucking peeps, I’ll catch you on the flip-side.
Leadballoony - It's a lead thing 
Good to hear you’re still out there mate – good luck getting the house sorted!
Cheers dude – it’s getting there ;-)
Building work has the fringe benefit of providing lots of left over bits and pieces for modelling purposes.
True :-)
I did wonder if you’d drowned in all the rain your country gets. In all honesty I don’t want to hear excuses. Whats wrong with setting up a paint station in the back seat of your car? Or sitting quietly in a bus shelter and modelling away? Haha. Hope you get back to us all soon mate.
Excuses are for winners… possibly… well, that’s my excuse anyway :-)
Looking forward to your triumphant return!
Me too mate, been much tougher than I thought – I really miss my paints! :-(
Glad to hear you’re still here! I’m looking to start with the OU later this year, what are you studying? Hope things are going well with the house too :)
Thanks man, I’m into the last year of a BA in leadership & management (work are paying for it so they got to choose :-/ ) It’s tough, but very sarisfying – I hope you get stuck in yourself, and that you find it as rewarding as I do!
Sounds interesting and beneficial :) good luck with your studies, again good to hear from you!
