The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Battered to within an inch of its life during the drought, the artichoke belatedly beard fruit! 010
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Good to see, we are following same process (same reason) 011
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Replaced a 200+litre waterbutt with a 1000litre one. 3121
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I think @stormofsteel.bsky.social has played it and done a review 120
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Final unit for my Battle of Maria 1809 scenario - the Provincial militia of Daroca. Next step - some Vistula Legion stuff...if the postman bringeth. 0231
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Postie bringeth - i've got a fair few Von Pivka/Digby Smith stuff 031
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 20/09/2026WIP 7 more painted up to having the marine juice wash in todays paint and moan. More work still needed. Will finally make the Spanish provincial militia battalion of Daroca for the Battle of Maria 1809. Perry figures. 0312
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The dog days of summer and the veg patch is looking a little unruly 040
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Going to look at upping the number of butts attached to the outbuildings as well, but that then creates a problem of how to get the water to where it’s wanted…. 4/4 010
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 04/09/2026We were using 250 litres a week on the veg during the drought – so 12 weeks x 250 equals 3000 litres. We need to put enough water collectors to make this amount, about 8 of these. That is a space issue. 3/4 110
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 04/09/2026We get about 700mm of rain each year, which per metre/sq will produce about .85 litres a mm of rain – so 700mm equates to 595 litres. The top of the butt is about 1 metre/sq so this should fill. Should. Overnight rain has been caught in a decent rate. 2/4 110
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 04/09/2026We had 12 weeks of drought this summer, so we are looking to increase our rainwater collection this winter. One way is this – a collapsible water butt holding 380 litres. It’s in the veg patch with no gutter pipe attached, I’m hoping the opening will collect enough water for next summer. 1/4 120
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Thought this 3 base Valencia militia unit (1809) were finished, unitlk i looked at the picture - i now have a whole list of things to finish/corect :( as well as the command base to do. Behind a btn of the rgt Aragon (finished). 0162
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I know your paining is bad but how is this going to help? 110
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Wow - get the Gin ordered - the geese have eaten all ours :( 110
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 31/08/2026looking very good - got to get that going here as well 100
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Building the new work platform - many more opportunities to fall from a great height when cutting trees/hedges/ roofs around the place. My last, shorter one, gave up the ghost with me climbing up - ended on the floor with it on top smashed against an electric fence - fortunately only bruises! 030
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Got these rules the other day and played them today - really impressed. Easy to read, easy to learn, gave a great game full of decision making, done in a session. I'd recommend. 170

The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 10/08/2026The squirrels have taken all the cobnuts and all the walnuts, all ready weeks and weeks earlier than normal - can they actually leave use with some chestnuts? 010
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 04/08/2026This goblin was printed on my 4 colour centauri carbon 2 - he weighs a gram, the poop, created at every colour change on each layer, weighs 120+ grams. Lesson: Multi nozzle printers are a must for colour printing! Abit of dry brushing made him table ready. 0101

The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Really enjoyed this, and learnt something. Thankyou. 000
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Anyways, picked up this stl free off the net, a CoC2 dashboard with markers - coloured it up in the slicer and printed it - waiting delivery of some black filament to do the axis one. 130
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 25/07/2026This years Cob Nut harvest - out of three bushes. These should not be ready until late August/September; not eaten by squirrels before the end of July. I can't keep up with this climate. 010
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 22/07/2026And my point is most working class in rural areas drive cars, such is the paucity of bus services 100
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 22/07/2026He's right to a point- there are very few bus services in rural areas - those that are benerally impraxcticable - so in rural areas the priority is car (you have a car to get a job in rural areas)- or (if lucky) train. The £2 fare is good - but probably not as universally wondeful as first thought. 010
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Spending some time playing with the new colour 3d printer and Tinkercad - I see many possibilites ahead... 030
The Piglit @thepiglit.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Did you get any of those paint pens? They would be ideal 110
