It was my birthday yesterday and I had a really nice day, even though I had to go to work, made even better by having an unexpected day off today. I was very fortunate to receive some amazing presents from my family too, which really knocked me out! As you can see, a lot of these were wargaming related including the Perry Miniatures ACW Battle in a Box, which may well change my 28mm project focus this year as a result. I also got an AK wet palette and Citadel water pot to help me with my painting, together with some storage boxes for the workbench. Fantastic. My lovely daughter even bought me an I Pad (!) which I didn't expect and was extremely generous...what a star!
Welcome to my blog. I have upwards of 100 projects in various stages of incompletion or total abandonment, so you may well find something of interest if you rummage about a bit. I concentrate on solo air and naval wargaming but other 'skirmishy' things quite often pop up out of nowhere, only to disappear again after something else grabs my attention. I even finish the occasional project now and again!

DeleteIn South of Sweden (Skåne / Scania) we still do the Danish salute of three cannon shots (or hurraies when we lack the cannons :D ), while Sweden have a double shot for ordinary occasions, and a double salute for royalty. So most of Sweden do a four time hurray.
DeleteA thing I wondered, but never managed to find the answer to, do anyone here know any other countries salute numbers?
