More #SpaceEngineers. I continue to randomly choose spawn locations with a dice roll. This time it’s the moon. I see a lot of Algae farming in my future.

Beth is back from a work trip to Timor-Leste with #Coffee!
Time to recite the mantra.
“It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.”

After receiving a box of #SpaceWolves for Father’s Day I picked up a codex & a couple of bits and pieces from the local shop. This inspired my eldest to gift me all the #SpaceMarine miniatures from his Nemesis & Indomitus starter sets. He only wanted the Xenos.

It’s #FathersDay in Tasmania and it feels like Christmas. I would have been happy with a card, but who am I to complain? 😇
My oldest also answered the question of what ‘modern’ space marine army would I have? #SpaceWolves!
My Son-in-Law who favours #ThousandsSons has declared me his mortal enemy.

Another successful foray into a bookshop, this time a second hand one. My son in law commented on how impressed he was my apparent ability to walk into a random bookshop and walkout with something hobby related.

Arrived in the post , something I have meant to get a copy of for ages. But of course I’m not there, so my 2 adult sons have dutifully agreed to read it on my behalf (probably won’t though, no where to plug in the usb cable).

Stuck my head in a random book shop while out grocery shopping this afternoon and found this book. The 3 battles are Friedland, Aspern-Essling & of course Waterloo. Apparently it’s a reprint of a book first published in 1944(?), can’t hurt to have a read.

My Calendar tells me it’s #InternationalNavalWarGamesDay and we’re still in Canberra learning to be Grandparents. So it’s on to the laptop for a game of #SeaPower.
Here’s a screenshot where 2 ASMs are about to ruin USS Yorktown’s day.
