Black cats, broken mirrors and gypsy curses...

I should be on holiday with my daughter, son in law and three of our grandchildren. I'm not. I'm still at home having waited most of the day for the Homeserve emergency plumber! He'll be here between 12.00 and 6.00 pm they said! Not my idea of an emergency service! As if a soaked dinning room table and ceiling weren't enough, we've only just recovered from greater trauma last week! I found Sue collapsed on the bathroom floor, unconscious and blood everywhere! Cue 999, ambulance, paramedics and off we go to A & E at New Cross. Several hours later, some tests, an examination and subsequent rehydration and we are on our way home at 4.30 a.m. She had passed out due to fluid loss it seems and hit her head on shower screen as she fell. A chipped tooth, lots of bruising but otherwise she'll live! My was I relieved to say the least. So you see, a blasted leak now is just another issue! No wonder the dice gods have deserted me...
Before all this I did manage to finish my new Dixon Miniatures Confederate cavalry unit and yet another command base for the cavalry. I planned to finish off my Warlord Games Gurkhas but that's rather slipped by at the moment. Onward, if not upward at the moment!

Obviously there is no possibility of gaming, either here in GHQ or over at Phil's, this week. I didn't make it to Partizan either on Sunday, not that I had expected to be able to go being on holiday. I would have liked to see Matt and the other Bodkins pick up the award for 'Best in Show' but have had to content myself in seeing other folks' photos of the game. Lots to do now dealing with the aftermath of the lesser flood, though thankfully no ark is necessary or I'd send for Phil!
