Corned Beef Leg

 


I do really like corned beef. In a sandwich with Branston pickle and a few Lettuce leaves....Yuum!

On the other hand I do not like corned beef, because at the moment, that's what my leg looks like!

For the second time this year,  I'm laying feeling very sorry for myself in a hospital bed, this time suffering from Cellulitis and Sepsis.

I'm being looked after very well being pumped full of antibiotics and painkillers.

Happy Days!

All this mess started on Friday, so I didn't even get to go to Colours!!!

What a miserable bloody week!

oh well, at least I'm still breathing enough to moan about it.

Colours 2024 - Anyone going?

 


For the first time in many years, some of the Rejects will be heading across to Newbury, to visit Colours 2024. For my sins the last time I went to Colours, it was still at the Hexagon!!! I can't work out when the show was last at the Hexagon, any ideas??

If you see any of us, say hello!!

Debris of War - 25mm Medieval Grainstore

 


Its been a little quiet over the last few weeks on Don't Throw a 1, life has just got the way as it does, but that doesn't mean I've been idle.


I saw this beautiful model of a medieval grainstore, from Debris of War and just wanted it!
I'm not dipping my toes into anything medieval, but thought it looked pretty cool and would fit in anywhere in my Donnybrook world.


As I already said the Grainstore is made by Debris of War, go check out their site, I've said it before but they do make some fab stuff!


Here's a link to the grainstore. Its a bargain at £12


As its a Medieval store and I want to use it in the late 1600's, I painted up the building using varies shades of grey, and a black and brown wash, to try and give the effect of old dry wood. 


So get along to Debris of War and get yourself a luvvly looking grainstore!
