But with Anglo-Saxons, Pagan Rus and one more six-pointer in the lead pile, I'm finding that I'm getting options paralysis!<br /><br />And yes, Millsy's hospitality was indeed appreciated - he and his family are wonderful hosts!Evan Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107866906860803155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335839831734070531.post-18692697883330158322015-01-08T08:55:10.420+11:002015-01-08T08:55:10.420+11:00Brilliant set, Evan!

I just hope they don't go looting your desktop now, as is their nature. <br /><br />Freed dinner, drinks and a game? It does not get any better than that.

The standard of entries this year is extremely high across the board.Evan Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107866906860803155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335839831734070531.post-24050382173354307822015-01-08T07:54:20.949+11:002015-01-08T07:54:20.949+11:00Thanks Paul!

The dinner was superb, the game was closely fought, and the next points bomb was laid out ready to be painted. <br /><br />I have no idea how he manages this level of activity, though I have often suspected arcane powers may play their part.

I'm surprised Millsy has time to cook what with all his painting; I have visions of him stirring the sauce with one hand, whilst applying the final highlight to his latest points bomb with the other! :D Michael Awdryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049982879661559305noreply@blogger.com
