There are lots of things going on in the Duchy at the moment. In two weeks the Duchess and I will gather our retinue and move to a different castle, so we are frantically packing, cleaning and spending money like drunken sailors in a brothel. One fantastic hobby related thing about the move is this:
It may just look like a table to you, but you are looking at my dedicated hobby space in the new house. Yep, I will no longer have to set up my gear on the dining room table every night and then clear it away again. Half the room at the front of the house is going to be the Duchess' study, and the other half my Man Cave, or if not quite a complete cave, at least a pothole or overhanging rock. There will be a DMZ down the middle of the room, and the Duchess already understands that if there aren't' actually rats scampering around in my half of the room she can't comment on the hobby squalor I plan to generate.
Meanwhile, my blog has just hit 250,000 page views! Thank you to everyone who visits my humble blog and comments on posts. It is great to have such a strong sense of nerdy community. This milestone of course warrants some sort of Tamsin-esque incredible giveaway, but I'll have to wait a few weeks until the move is all completed. However, as Neil Shuck on Meeples and Miniatures would say, 'watch this space'.
Congratulations on 250k, and I like your marker for the same. Good luck with the move and enjoy the new space.

congrats on 250K
ReplyDeleteI hope the move goes well - remember if anything gets lost or broken in transit that's just natures way of telling you you didn't really need it!
Best offbeat of luck with the move
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 250K and the new digs. A giveaway sounds good, I'm on a roll.
ReplyDeletewow congratz on a double hit the 250k and your own man overhang
ReplyDeleteThe only problem with man overhang is that it conjures up not being able to see your toes or other bits when you look down.
DeleteHa!
DeleteCongrats on reaching 250k hits
ReplyDeleteCongrats and maybe a new name....manhole?
ReplyDeleteHaving one's own nest is always a fine thing.
ReplyDeleteExcellent - a little space you can call your own!
ReplyDeleteWell done on the 250k!! And watch out, that DMZ will and I'll say it again Will be encroached . Good luck and be brave.
ReplyDeleteHuzzah! Well done on the 250k and the man-space.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the milestone.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing quite like having your own little corner for your toys - stand back and watch it spread ;)
Rock on it looks like you will have a good set up in the new palace.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than to have place to keep your stuff without having to remove everything every evening.
ReplyDeleteI paint on the kitchen table, but then again... it is big enough i only have to remove my stuff when we get visitors, so I can live with it.
Nice one! I'm lucky enough to be divorced and live alone. I can, therefore, ignore safely any clear-desk initiatives and pile my stuff up as and where I please.

PS This is not an endorsement of divorce as a means to achieve the man-cave dream.
Congrats! I'm currently living the life of a dining table squatter and some nights just the thought of setup and tear down is enough to deter me from painting. Here's to improved productivity!
ReplyDelete"spending money like drunken sailors in a brothel" - speaking from experience there my friend or just interested speculation? :-)
