How I spent the Wuhan Coronavirus quarantine . . .

I found out that he is an avid gamer indeed, so I passed on my already painted miniatures to him last year and started painting these figures for him to inherit as well.

Why didn't I have an uncle like that? I had to paint my own miniatures. Have you got any idea how many cups of tea I ruined by dipping my painbrush into them by mistake? Not few!
 
Anyway so what have I been up to.. I've started a project to turn my barren balcony into a verdant paradise to rival the hanging gardens of Babylon.

Well, "started" can mean different things to different people. :cool:

Truth is concrete.

Today, I bought a self-water box out of polystyrene.. and a bag of soil to put on top. I bought melon seeds, and hopefully with a bit of global warming, they will produce melons even here in Scandinavia. If not, they will at least provide some fancy vines that will make my balcony more jungly.

Also, I bought red peppers and good tomatoes and extracted the seeds. Planted them in a bowl that I covered with cling film. Hopefully the seeds will sprout faster in this ersatz mini greenhouse.

I also procured a kind of triple pot arrangement for growing herbs.

And I plan to continue this project with more stuff :)

I on the other hand have of taken more sips than I can recount of some pretty dire concoctions thinking it was my mug of coffee instead . . . :coffee:
 
I was well past due for a haircut when my state's self-quarantine protocols began. When my hair grew to a point I could no longer tolerate, I borrowed my neighbor's home style barber kit. He saves money using it on his five and seven year old sons. I now sport the elegant and fashionable self inflicted Coronavirus Buzzcut. It closely resembles the army regulation haircuts of my misspent youth. (No, Barry. Pictures will not be posted.)

I went the other direction. My "lockdown beard" grows more fearsome daily. I am returning to the iron age...

Pics, or pusscake.

My wife Beth has been giving me a buzzcut for years now.

Not quite. I was just a Cherry Jumper and only did the five jumps at Airborne School. But it now passes any inspection required in the Seventh Cavalry. :2charge:

Mine too. I've stopped shaving until Shelter-In-Place is rescinded. I doubt anyone would mistake me for a son of Ragnar Lothbrok though. :cheerso:
