That’s a great selection of music to start us off @sundancer – nowt like a bit of headbanging to start a Friday morning. Safety compliant head banging obviously whilst on the work clock.

Pledge: Update my SCC project and stay in this thread all weekend! And finish painting the Frostgrave monsters I’ve been chipping my way through. There’s a painting challenge in a Discord that starts tomorrow but I’m going to try that strange “finish one project before starting on another” concept that Sundancer mentioned a few weeks ago. There’s also another project going to rear it’s head in about ten days… oh dear, bad habits are returning!

Questions:

• Has Brexit changed your online shopping behaviour? No but that’s largely because it has coincided with my salary needing to support two people and so I don’t have any money to spend.
• Have shipping and taxes ever held you from buying something you really wanted? Absolutely. I won’t order from the US at all any more. I got stung for import duties and the Royal Mail surcharge twice because a company shipped two t-shirts on the same day in separate packages. £28 of charges for £15 of t-shirts for a charity event was the proverbial straw.
• How could small, one-man-operated companies band together to get their stuff to people outside their “tax-zone”? I don’t know but I’ll be fascinated to see what other people come up with.

Some music: It has been a Clutch week for me. They are meant to be touring in July as a reschedule from last year but I don’t see me wanting to go to a gig even it does go ahead.
