    Oh, well done Chris! Now you have your own legal advice and a possible income source - must let her get on her feet first!

    So started running just before I retired and have regularly run 5k (3 times a week), delighted to have now increased that to 10k and have completed my first three, all in under an hour which is not too bad. Still haven’t worked out why, lol

    As he runs 10k 3 times a week it means he ends up 30K from home. so he needs to get a bus back

    We celebrated our 46th anniversary last month. Didn't go wargaming that day though, as I had ambitions to see our 47th

    Congratulations Edward - we celebrated our 50th anniversary in January and my wife still tolerates my passion for WWI aviation, my collection of unbuilt plastic kits and my weekly gatherings around the gaming table with Baxter and Co!

    Congrats All - nice one. Yon and I have only been together for 40 years as of last Feb. But the good news is she's still sticking with it

    Other good news - son Rob is now working, for DNEG, on a shot for the forthcoming "Venom Let there be Carnage" - Haven't met his 15 month old son, our grandson, Jack yet but i think the carnage he now creates at home may be Rob's inspiration

    And more good news. Jack's Mum, Gillian, has two nephews in the USA, aged 14 and 11. I spent half an hour with them yesterday, on Google Meet, explaining the first easy stages of playing Wings of War WWII. Gillian had given them the Battle of Britain set. Well done Gillian and well done the lads who were brilliant students

    Not spotted this thread before - a great idea

    Babies and milestones - it cheers everyone up

    My good news recently was my son getting a first in his Zoology BSc after a tough couple of years for students in this country - they've been forgotten about, then blamed for all sorts of things.
    Now on to the masters degree.

    plus I'm counting down 3 months to Salute - not been to a show in many years, looking forward to it already.
