Haven't had the time to update in a while. Lots of things have been conspiring to keep me busy: wife was away for 3 weeks in PNG with youngest (usual adventures with earthquakes, tsunami warnings, and giant pigs), infighting amongst bosses at the office, daughter starting at new school, frantic drawing of the next issue of Rally Mark, continued painting of 40k armies so we can get some games going, and of course, little Olive joined the clan.

Things are starting to settle down now, although no less busy. Still frantic at work, although thanks to a change in internal structure, improvements are occuring, and things are looking up. The weather's been all over the place lately, so we're trying to keep up work on the property when we can. Went out the other day and found the grass was up 1-1.5 metre's high, so we've been working to cut that down and get it under control again. The house should start construction fairly soon, with backing from the bank, and just a few little points to sign-off on now.
