Catchup, news

Two days after the
burst water main. From
our bedroom window.
And yes, they worked
overnight all week.

Just about got over the house being flooded at the end of May - last carpets/etc went in at the beginning of September (which means we're no longer trying to fit N+1 rooms worth of people and stuff into N-3 rooms) , and the new kitchen goes in later this month. Life has been... um... interesting for a while, hence the partial radio silence.

So. 

Time for a catchup.

• Just got back from the Innsmouth Literary Festival in Bedford at the weekend, where the club put on 'The Battle of New Innsmouth', a scifi retake of watery weirdnesses attacking a coastal settlement. Photos below.
• The club put on a game at Sutton Hoo over the summer (thanks to my good friend Andy Hawes) - watch this space for more, or see it at The Other Partizan. Come say hi!
• We also put on a game celebrating Operation: Market Garden (specifically the actions around Nijmegen involving the 82nd Airborne), in the Lincolnshire village of Folkingham, from which they originally took off. Martin S-C's excellent photos are on the club Facebook page.
• Posh Lard has sadly been cancelled (due mostly to a lack of spoons (see above) on my part). Back next year.
• So, sadly, was Hereward Wargames Show, but this time due to a lack of roof on the venue! Again, we'll be back next year!
• Ran a bunch of BattleTech games for the club, shows and even as far afield as Shetland. Again, pictures below, but most of my BattleTech stuff can be found on Tales From The Periphery, my BattleTech podcast and occasional blog.
• Re podcasts, I have two episodes of The Miller's Tale lined up for later this month - and they will both have actual living breathing guests! (and relevant ones, at that!)
• The club's weekly Wednesday evening 'Paint and B***h' session chez moi continues (apart from a break for a month or two when the workshop was full of furniture and guitars (again, see above)), and is a welcome weekly sanity break - thanks guys.
