I can send you unpainted figures.  I'll even send you a paid for way to get them back to me when you've finished painting them. That way you will have something to do.

I'm all heart.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

I resemble Titian in my painting. Note our shared tendency to remark "%^$%^, I know I had some carmine somewhere in this lot!" and "What, in the name of the College of Cardinals, has happened to my titanium white?"

Have you looked down the back of the sofa ?

Have the cats batted it under the sofa ?

There's no way our moggies could get paint up our stairs.

. . . has happened to my titanium white?"

Argh! Bob Ross flashbacks. Titanium White was always on his palette, that and Phthalo Blue.

Remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents!

My local model shop (Widnes) is open for click and collect.

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

Normally I pop in for a couple of paint brushes and come out with a bag full of stuff, so perhaps click and collect will save me money.  :)

Placed an order, more for supporting the shop than anything else.

Netflix has been a saviour and also gives us some family time each evening, even though we are still maintaining social distancing in the house. Early morning bike rides are a tonic as is pottering around the garden.

You can come and potter round my garden - I hate gardening. It is a necessary evil. Consequently my favoured choice of tools for gardening  are chainsaw, loppers and a mower. I keep thinking of getting one of those weed burners, but Mrs Orcs has said NO!

Normally I do virtually what I like and work on the basis "better to beg forgiveness than ask permission", but the look on her face when she said NO! was such that not only would forgiveness not be given, but that I would also be walking funny with the weed burner stuck somewhere.  :)

As long as you didn't fart you'd probably make it to A&E for the removal  O:-)

Unfortunately the tablets I am on "Metformin" are often referred to by diabetics as "Metfartin" so I probably wouldn't make it.  :(
