[WWI] A new drink (and a new hobby room)

[Paul Thompson]

>all the above stuff<.

    One advantage of moving is that you come across all the stuff you lost 
over the years. So from the shed we rescued 5 litre-bottles of cider I made 
10 years ago. One of the disadvantages of moving is that the new neighbours 
don't know you yet, so you get invited to barbecues. So last evening I was 
stabding there at the barbie, rather hungry (being the vegetarian in the 
Netherlands restricts one's choices, rather). Discovered that every time I 
went to refill the wine glass, the last bottle had been killed and a new, 
different one started. Result, I lsot count of the number of wines I tried, 
but later, at home, the old cider began to look very tempting. Fortunately 
it all faded to black before I could experiment. This mornings after effects 
are bad enough.


    That aside, the new hobby room will be open for business tonight. Total 
damage during the move was the 1/48th Gotha G.III a (saveable) and the 
Rumpler C.I (dubious) plus various guns knocked off (all found and 
restorable) and 4 sets of wheels sheared off the axle (not so easy because 
I'll have to replace both the axles and the bungees, and therefore clean up 
and repaint the legs as well). No 1/72nd casualties except the Roden camel, 
which I've lost.
