CDC: Guy Fawkes Night Celebrations

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,

the Powder, the Treason, the Plot!

I know of no Reason

The Gunpowder Treason

Should ever be Forgot!

Caernarfon -- Tonight is Guy Fawkes Night. Celebrated by England for the survival of their King James I, the Provisional Government of the Welsh Republic will instead hold celebrations in honor of Guy Fawkes, who was cruelly tortured and executed for his part in an attempt to overthrow the monarch.

  President Saunders Lewis will be giving a speech at sundown, followed by fireworks and a torchlight parade through the streets of the capital, culminating in a bonfire ceremony in which effigies of Edward the Adulterer and his Fascist pig of a Prime Minister, Moseby, shall be burnt.

Christmas List Topper

For my VBCW project, this tops the list: the new WWI bus from 1st Corps.

  Just the thing for my Welsh Nationalists to charge into action against the British Fascist hordes! I also quite like the Minerva Armoured Car they have there as well. Even though it is a Belgian design, it might go well as a sort of 'technical'. Only have a Belgian crew available, but I think I could manage some head swaps and get there.

It Sure Has Been Quiet Around Here...

  And for good reason. Honestly, all of my hobby activities have been put on hold for the last two months. Blogging, painting, gaming... pretty much all of it. The only thing I have done was to finish off a few things that were 95% done anyway. If I get a chance, I will put up some pictures, but the finished stuff is:

• The Public School Boys of Llanover, for VBCW
• The Rolls Royce Armored Car, also for VBCW
• The trio of 15mm Proxie tanks for VSF
• Some writing and editing of WTNW: Aiships and Skypirates

  And that's it. Maybe, once the doctors figure out what is wrong with my wife and get it treated, and when the pool gets finished, and when I decide if I am going back to my job... maybe then I will be more in the groove.

   Stress. It's gonna kill me yet.

Milestone: 500 Posts

  Just noticed that yesterday's post was #500. Funny that I reached that number here before my much older blog, Victoria's Boys in Red, which is at 495 right now. Of course, I copied a lot of content form some other blogs onto this one when I combined the lot of them...

  Anyway, yippee!

  I know its been more than a month since my last post. But between the start of a new school year and my wife falling prey to a mysterious illness - and one that we are just now starting to figure out what the heck it is - I've been otherwise occupied. Its called Real Life and those of you that have one understand that it is more important than blogging or any other hobby activity. Those of you who don't... well, I feel sorry for you.

  Since things are calming down a bit work-wise, and we have settled into a care routine for my wife, I hope to be more active on the hobby front. First and foremost is my looking forward to this weekend, with a convention being held aboard the USS Texas, and Mal Wright coming in for the day.
