Another book ordered for lock down


Just ordered this book from Helion. A bargain at £14.95 post paid. Good on Helion for keeping production going at this difficult time. They have some very tasty 18th century publications in the pipeline. Particularly looking forward to the Rossbach book, and the second Christopher Duffy book on the Austrian army.
I have a soft spot for Spain/Portugal, probably because of my frequent stays in the Canaries and my visits to the wonderful Military museum and library at Santa Cruz.. At some point a Spanish army will appear with those wonderful Spanish flags.

I am a bit concerned about the future of Blogger, and I fear that my blog will come to an end if the current format cannot be continued. I did have a look at the new version, but was less than inspired.
I get a great deal of pleasure and inspiration from other blogs, and it helps to know that there are other like minded people out in the world, who have the same aims and objectives in modelling and collecting. Sharing your hobby is one of its main pleasures. If we do see the demise of Blogger, then hopefully we can find a new solution. I don't think emails are the answer.

  1. Interesting book.

    I found the new blogger interface is usable - took me time to find some of the post edit options; main issue at the moment is aspects of picture display when clicked on by a reader - hopefully they will fix this by the time we can't get back to the old interface.

  2. I'll have to check the book out, I never knew Portugal was involved in the 7YW until I visited their army museum in Lisbon in 2018.I found your comments about Blogger worrying. I'm new to this and a Luddite at heart.

  3. Will check the book out on your recommendation and as a potential foe for my Spanish.
    As to blogger I didn't think much of the new interface. The current one isn't easy to use on an iPad but I have used BlogTouch pro for longer posts. This works fine except pictures added to it don't enlarge. Flitting between the two is a minor pain, but doable.

  4. Hmmm, you've made some good points. I'd have factored those into my decision of purchasing too. However, what do you consider low mileage for a 10yr+ sports car like such? I've seen some for around JPY 3.0M~ range w/30K-60K km of mileage. As for overhauling the engine at Omori, besides the very limited allotment and the premium service costs; the menu doesn't seem to include replacing most of the major components.

  14. Going to graduate school was a positive decision for me. I enjoyed the coursework, the presentations, the fellow students, and the professors. And since my company reimbursed 100% of the tuition, the only cost that I had to pay on my own was for books and supplies. Otherwise, I received a free master’s degree. All that I had to invest was my time. schlüsseldienst feldkirchen
