A wargammng ethical delema

I have a Confederate army in minature. I have never painted the Rebel battle flag as I have wanted to have a more historical accurate look.
Any ideas?

Panic attacks due to technical issues

my wife bought a new computer. I was then unable to access my yahoo account. I then made a new gmail one.  For a few minutes I thought my blog would keep me out. ahhhhhhhhhh

however, a Japanese friend of ours who runs his own computer business helped me out. Back in business

Hot time Summer in Chiba

My temporary tattoo: Swing Free Sport Kilt

I've been tempted to get tattoos of my former cap badges, plus my wife wants me to put her name on me, so I will see.

My summer haircut. Buzzed down, feels cooler.

This is a shot taken after 10 days of rain and humidity!

Day one of rain

Daddy's hair style is good, Leena says

Trying to eat lunch in an outdoor covered patio with 30c and 75% humidity! The sweat is running into my eyes despite my sweat cloth on my head.

 Ian trying to beat the heat with a cold drink.

Leena seems fine digging into her grub.

The kids trying out a hammock made by a Mexican company for the Japanese market. Was really comfortable too!

Wearing my Ulster Defence cap badge on a rifle green beret while wearing a maroon t-shirt and an olive green sweat cloth, one of the few sunny days during rainy season!

East Asia has been suffereing from rainy season, plus the start of the typhoon season! Makes for an unpleasant summer in urban areas!

Happy Birthday Leena

Eight years old today

The birthday girl with her brother and Daddy.

My meal, an assortment of foods, the roast beef was good, but I felt it was a tad underdone, I like mine medium rather than rare.

Leena is pleased

 Leena gives it a thumbs up, Emi enjoys

Ice cold beer, ah the memories, can only look though.

Packing my collection

I believe I will be to busy to play much between now and my departure. I packed most of my books, and most of my figures. We will ship our gear home by sea.
Can't wait to camp back home

We were able to contact a company which can send by sea to Halifax, Nova Scotia, the closest port to where I will be living. 

Count down

Well it looks like my dreams of going home may bear fruition. My family had been planning a vacation, now it will be a move. I have been looking at buying a house back home but need to be in Canada to do so.
Thus my bloggin will be done from Canada soon!
This has been my main reason for lack of blogging, plus tossing out eleven years worth of junk,
I need to ship my things by sea so will begin packing
