Greetings…
More books…
I picked these up in Waterstones…
To be honest they are not much what I thought I would find interesting…
But they are indeed….
Classic Osprey…
A good background history about the development of the weapon, Lots of good pictures and Artwork…
Especially stuff from my favourite illustrator and friend Peter Dennis…
There are more books in this series covering different weapons… so very tempting.
My eyesight is definitely improving… The left eye is going to be operated on…on the 27th of the month
And then hopefully things will start to get back to normal…
Hurrah!
All the best. Aly
Nice additions to your library Aly and good news on the eye front, not too long to wait for the other one to be done, best wishes for the op.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie …
DeleteI have to admit that I was quite surprised when they gave me the date…
All the best. Aly
Hope your upcoming surgery allows you to get back on track. Best wishes, Aly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan…
DeleteI am really looking forward to getting back to painting toys…
All the best. Aly
Wow - are you trying to single handedly keep the British book publishing industry afloat, Aly?!
ReplyDeleteGood news about your eye - hope all goes well with the op.
It looks like it 😁
DeleteBut as I can’t paint yet … At least I can read about it…
All the best. Aly
Great news on the eyesight! No surprise on the book front though given your history with books.
ReplyDeleteThank you David…
DeleteYes… Me liking/buying books… Who would have thought 😁
All the best. Aly
Good looking books, when you can't paint, buy books! A mantra to live by!

Very interesting, I'm sure they'll both be a great read!
ReplyDeleteI am reading the Spatha volume at the moment… And it is indeed interesting….
DeleteAll the best. Aly
You’ll be all done and dusted before you know it. Lovely books…hope you’re able to read them without too much difficulty!
ReplyDeleteThank you old chap…
DeleteReading is no problem My very cheap reading glasses are surprisingly good…
All the best. Aly
Despite the massive culling of books I did a few years back, I find myself returning to the pleasures of "old school" reading of actual books. Still got plenty on hand, so new acquisitions are not what they used to be. I think I may not be the only one who is returning to printed text.
ReplyDeleteApparently more people are buying and reading books at the moment…
DeleteI wonder… Does that make us Old School Hipsters? 😁
All the best. Aly
Had my eyes done quite a while back and still find myself wearing dark glasses! Thingd that I ad thought were black turned out to be purple... I'd been looking at things through a yellow filter...
ReplyDeleteThat’s one of the main things that I notice… Apart from the seeing better…
DeleteThe dramatic change in colour…
And I have also had the … ‘ I thought that was black but it’s actually purple/ crimson’ thing…
I’ve also had to change the settings on my work computer because the colours are a bit intense…
The ‘ Nicotine stained shower curtain’ certainly creeps up on you 🤣
All the best. Aly
Quelle surprise ...
ReplyDeleteAnd so out of character 😆
DeleteAll the best. Aly
