Definitely, though I also need bike rides. As its still 35c here, that ride will have to wait until its much darker out

It tends to be mildly cooler. Then its just a matter of not being hit by cars and not hitting Jazz Festival tourists.

In other news, I splashed out 18 dollars and got some Wargames Factory Orcs – you know the odd, made in China plastic figures which look eerily like the figures from the Mirkwood MERP supplement, illustrated by Angus McBride? In the flesh, they are not bad at all. I think I’ll use them as cheap and cheerful Mithril-replacement Orcs of Mirkwood. Since the non cheap, non cheerful ones were nicked and all. Nice bit of detailing on them that most photos don’t do justice to.

Anyway, beyond all that: happy Canada Day.

Or moving day, as we call it hereabouts.

I also bought the orc pack based on their look-like of McBride drawing. A good quality/price ration I dare to say.

Master Barliman, I offer a round to everyone in The Tavern as I got my second Chinese Mandarin studies diploma

Younger during my intensive RPG period, I was nearly fluent in Quenya and able to write Tengwars.
Far more interesting but alas far less useful

Congrats and thanks for the drink. A barrel of ale would do to prepare Wold cup 1/4 final against Germany.

LOL. Master Mornedhel, the USA goaltender was awesome–of course, I am a USA fan! We are new to Futbol, but will become better.

Tom, For sheer entertainment value and gritty determination the US of A still deserve to be in the competition, value for money to the ‘bitter end’ (unlike some highly paid, underperforming primadonnas I could mention)

Interesting statement from the latest Newsletter!

MYSTERY RESOLVED AT LAST:

Over the years that we have been running the monthly fellowship figure competitions there have been so many excellent ideas for figures put forward by members which have fired my imagination and which I have been very keen to sculpt but which have failed to win the vote. By definition, although some are reprised during subsequent months, most never see the light of day again. I have made a note of my favourites for a while now and have decided to make the occasional piece in what my be called a “designer’s choice” series. Workload recently has prevented me from completing the first pieces, but they are planned into the range and the M594 and M596 have been set aside for this purpose. We will be announcing soon which will be the first piece to be produced.

Of the recent World Cup result, well a toast of Scrumpy and commiserations to Forum Friends on both sides

Yes, I saw this too, and I’m wondering what it portends.

The new MX shown in the newsletter is certainly rather nice.

huoommm … thank you, Master Milo … rhûomhuom … as for Mithril I think it’s time now to produce and release the figures Master Tubb already sent to them … huooommm … why not release two new figures in a month, just to try to catch up a bit …. huuoomm?

Probably because they don’t want to set a precedent!

grrrrûom … I always wanted to complain about the official Mithril Fellowship website, so I do now … huoommm … whenever I log in to that site I’m getting angry because of that “announcement” of the Helm’s Deep 2 M-series which is quite obsolete … rhuom … I like those figures, but don’t like to see them on that site any more … rhomgrûom … I would be happier to see an announcement for the realease of the Helm’s Deep 3 M-series instead … hom !
