Funny but losing my mojo over the last couple of months didn’t slow down my urge to increase the size of the stash ?
Summer purchases ?

OK chaps.....so a few more arrivals....
One boring one.....
....two early Christmas arrivals after my daughter told me how much she was spending on me......
...and one that demonstrates outstanding customer service.....
ACW as usual

-------------------------------------
The boring....have recently acquired some AK paints, I needed some thinner.....
I had pressed 'buy' on these last weekend after they popped up on eBay for good prices.....that or the next day, my daughter said "Dad, for Christmas I will give you £XXX to spend on whatever (she really emphasised the 'whatever') you want for Christmas.' So whilst I can't have them now, they and some other items I have on pre-order have cost me nothing!! The joys of your kids earning a decent wage!!
And now for the excellent customer service......
You may recall from my post last week (link), that following the very sad death of a club member back in late 2022, I acquired Hauler's resin 1/72 AEC Mk III armoured car but that it was missing the PE and decals. I took a chance and emailed Hauler last Saturday, asking if I could purchase the PE and decals for a reasonable price. After all I had knowingly bought the kit second had without them.
Well yesterday...the PE arrived from Hauler in only 5 days (they're based in the Czech Republic!!!)....and for free!! I'm sure I have some decals I can use somewhere. All credit to Jan at Hauler.

I've just realised that I hadn't posted about our new family member. After we lost Millie the house was too empty.
This is the inappropriately-named Snuggles. Adopted from Cats Protection. Her history is a little vague, but apparently she was owned by an elderly lady who passed away at the beginning of 2024. She was with her owner's son for a short while, then was in Cats Protection's cattery, but was getting very stressed by the other cats there, so she was moved to a foster home. The son said she's 6 years old, but two vets have said she's not older than 2.
She's misnamed - not at all 'snuggly' but after all the disturbance in her life that's not surprising. She's getting friendlier though and loves a little head scratch.

Well done for adopting an adult cat......she will soon settle and become snuggly
Are you going to rename her?Per Ardua
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no ones beenComment

I'm not a cat person but she's a very pretty, cute little girl. I have no doubt that given a month or two of TLC her name will be very appropriate.Comment
