The Idle thoughts of an Idle fellow.

Kinch at rest - A Study from Life by Vernet
(private collection)

Mrs. Kinch continues poorly, though she soldiers on quite as implacably as usual. Her drama class did their show on Sunday and did her proud by all accounts - the house is awash with flowers. There was something of the Russian ballet instructor about her heading out on Sunday morning, those middle aged woman on crutches - their ankles and knees used up by a lifetime of twirls and jetee - who impart the fruits of years of bitterness and experience to callow youngsters between cigarettes.

I spent the day playing with a spot of paperwork, disinterestedly picking at a steak, taking a little whiskey for my health and sombrely decorating the cat, post whiskey, before I was packed off to bed.

I have however come up with a plan for my Indian project, which is to use Charles Grants "Insurgency" scenario from the Tabletop Teasers Book as a shopping list. The scenario is designed for a set called "Wellington in India", but should give me a good starting point.

I am at my most dangerous when armed with a plan.
