Hi there  all,    not an update as  such on my  build  but more on the admiral,    we went to our docs  yesterday  and they checked her  BP  - it was  perfect  (she was suprised as she suffers form "White Coat Syndrome")   they then took  Five lots of Blood    we should find out  next week if anything  shows  to explain her  weird  heart raising  situation - that has settled down a bit, she still  gets a fast pulse in her one ear  when climbing stairs  but not  when walking on the flat.

A bit of good news for your Admiral. Hope the tests can point you to the problem.

Currently watching  "Sharp"  on tv, the episode  with  LHS  and the  not very  accurate   account  of it   - shows  manilt Red jackets  in the farm  and  Sharp and the  95th  so wrong   lol.

Evening all,   I thought I would return to this, I have  stalled  with my Dino  build  while I decide  what else  I can add to it,   so   -  more  paint on the 5th  KGL  injured  -  cuff  details / collars  and  final  touch ups,   just needs  washes  and  dry brushing.

Evening all,   I  got  somemore  bench time  -  this  time  I  concentrated  on the  2nd  KGL  doing the  Alum   details  - buttons, Shako  and  Rifle details,  then  I gave the faces and hands a  wash.

Evening all,   I havn't  done anymore  on  my dio  yesterday  -  I  need  to  start  on the scenery  soon  (looking  forward to that)   including some  orchard trees   (one of those  living tree  sets)   and  the  Four  injured  I showed  part painted,      but at the  moment  I am  suffering from man  flu   - shakes and all  that  -   dosing myself up  with  vit c and d   and  lemsip  powders,   just waiting for me  immune system  to do its  stuff  and kill  off the  lergy.

 

I can't wait  to  start  putting  it all  together  to  tell  my  dio story.

Get some chicken soup into you. You need fluids and the soup is definitely better than water or tea. Tastes better than water and isn't a diuretic, like tea is. Take care, OC.😄

Particularly during this time of year when flu runs rampant, vitamin D is a really big deal as it works with our immune systems to combat influenza. Sunlight is one of the best ways to take in vitamin D, but that's not always available for some climates. I try to get at least 30 minutes of sunlight per day. Short of that, there are vitamin D supplements. The old saying, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, is a true statement I think.
