I'm back baby!!

after a long failed (diet wise) period from just before xmas until recently I wasn't doing well but lost 9 pounds this week so stick that in your pipe and smoke it

since the decorating plans are a little postponed because of camping bills, conventions and the like (but will still happen in June/July kinda time) been inna frustrated holding pattern untill.....

One of the problems I've been having with the gaming setup is that mostly I RPG but sometimes I boardgame (and as recently a sorta Mark/Rob based request for an occasional boardgame saturday thing to be held at my place) and I want to wargame a bit (or maybe a lot) space (organisation) is a problem until.........

Didi you know that my favorite Thunderbird was Thunderbird 2 (bear with me)

It was modular it was the swiss army knife of TV craft and this is my inspiration

for the RPG side I have the Whiteboard 6' by 4' surface you can draw on and thats freat

I ordered a big piece of Blue felt this week to use as a covering for the tabble so that people can actually pick up cards (was tricky before) for the boardgames

and I have a thought about the wargaming side of this which won't happen until my xmas club money is dolled out (£300 coming my way after my xmas shopping is done what am I gonna do?)

also

I wanted to have the living room done in vintage furniture (if not the whole flat) not very vintage just looks that way, but had to go with Ikea because my games collection kills other, lesser furniture

but

I have a table that looks a bit vintage and that is going to replace the 2 pine tables I have the white board on currently and will be easier to store when I need to take the gaimg setup down - sorting that out today

sorting some ideas out for figure storage to be incorperated into the living room setup and sorting other stuff into other parts of the flat (DVDs, novels that kind of thing)

getting Infiltration (which is fantastic) and Elder Signs at the end of the month and Descent second edition later in the year (saw a video review by these guys

 and apparently not only is it a new smoother system but with the conversion kit you can use the monsters and heroes from the first game in the second edition one)

I'm getting there and the flat deadline is christmas and I think I'm gonna make it :D
