"Right over there Sir! Right mess they are too Sir, no white belts and so on."
"Ahh! Well, I'm sure they'll soon be in order, but I meant the Officer's Mess?".....

Sentry! Where's the Mess?
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

But slowly.
DeleteHi Ross,
ReplyDeleteHaha, brilliant! That gave me a proper chuckle. Small bits of progress add up quickly—they're coming along grandly despite the busy week!
All the best, Andy
Thanks. So many outside chores mean so little hobby time.
DeleteCompletely understand! The chores will always be there, but at least the figures are waiting patiently on the table for the next spare moment.
