-You paint flags with a very steady hand, equally enviable! :)
Cheers!

Flags they are! They wiggle in the air, don't worry! ;)

Post by: photocrinch on May 24, 2020, 06:33:52 PM: I think for a bit of fun I am going to paint it sky blue and then add some little trees at the base, in which case yes, it will block line of sight! :D

Your new office looks good!

Post by: photocrinch on May 24, 2020, 07:12:26 PM: Thanks Fred! The new office was finished up just in time for the stay at home order. I always thought I would use it as a fun reading space and collection exhibit, never dreamed I would actually have to work there!

The game room and temporary office by the fire have been a great joy!

Post by: photocrinch on May 24, 2020, 08:52:25 PM: I realized that as I was typing my comment. Sometimes I'm a little slower on the uptake these days. I blame being at home for two months! In any event I am luck to have a job that I can do from home and dogs to join me by the fire, not to mention a spouse who puts up with my fascination for little toy soldiers!

A bit jealous of the size of houses in the US!

Post by: Jemima Fawr on May 25, 2020, 02:53:00 AM: Very nicely done. Re Grahame at GMB - very sadly his mum passed away recently (a fall at home, followed by CV19), so he's had a lot on his plate.

Post by: photocrinch on May 25, 2020, 03:06:45 AM: He let me know that last week, and as I didn't want to bother him further, just assumed it would be a while before he could sort through the orders. I felt terrible when he told me, to have pestered him in the first place. Brings home how real this pandemic is. In the New York Times today they listed the names of 1000 people along with short bios, a mere 1% of those who have died in the US, as we just surpassed 100,000 dead due to this horrible virus. Stay safe out there everyone!

Depends on where in the US, etc. My apartment in NYC is just under 1,000 square feet, counting the 12x6 foot balcony. And that's a bg apartment by NYC standards. I have fled to a slightly larger family cottage in Maine to sit out the siege.

Sad news about Grahame's mum.
