The Sunday painting minion and the crew

 Well , that is the festivities well and truly  over with and it’s time to get cracking on with the real fun - painting . I hope you all had your pile’o’potential topped up and feel the need to damage it.  MartinC and I will be back at casting furnces of Pendraken this week - it’s rumoured he has an idea for a new mid challenge project - what could possibly go wrong. 

I have a coffee in hand to ready myself for the day . 

 

My part of the UK has snow and temperatures of -8 . If this continues into Monday the UK will grind to a halt . Yeah I know you Canucks - that’s not real cold - but this is the land of bland grey weather , everything else is chaos creating.

I see a few posts lined up . Remember this phase is the easy one 

In addition there will focused terrain posts that Minion Byron will process . He will update on the plan in due course . 

Have a great day guys .

  1. Wow that counts as a "serious" snow photo for the UK, only a ground frost in the UK West Midlands at the moment. I wonder if we are on an "Amber" weather warning what would that translate across to for Canada - slightly "off white" ?

    2. Environment Canada has moved to colour coded weather warnings too. Last month we had a Yellow Snow warning, which doesn’t quite sound like it was meant to. It looks like a reasonable snowfall, but locals still wear shorts at -8c.

    4. I don’t even pull out a winter jacket until -15. Until then a hoodie or sweater is just fine! Hell, Quinn gets yelled at daily by mom still for going out to the shop in sandles and no socks, and we have hit -30 a few times this winter already!

  2. Enjoy your cuppa Dave. You Northerners should be able to cope with a bit of snow. As a teenager I watched in amusement when Hampshire got 2cm of snow on a visit to my dad.

  4. We are finally having some winter in the uk for the first time in years, I look forward to less aphids and hopefully those killer Asian hornets getting their butts kicked back overseas - our native bee population desperately needs a break.

    1. Looks like a full week of proper sub zero for my area - hopefully sort those buggies out!

  5. Just a light dusting and only down to -2ºC down here in Norfolk. Stay safe everyone. Not looking forward to the walk into work tomorrow.

    1. At least it’s a dry cold at moment . My car wasn’t frozen over this morning at -6 just very cold .

  6. Keep safe and warm, Dave. That is a mild day for us but you folks aren't kitted-out for that kind of weather.
