WHAT'S ON YOUR WORKTOP WEDNESDAY#649

 Yes, it's Wednesday WOYWW again YAY!...funny how it comes around once a week. Really sorry, I know I didn't get around to everyone last week, but that 'thing' that's blocking me from Julia's blog is being very mean!  Here's my bench at the moment! I got my paint box out. I love it. Never seen another one anywhere else like it. (Bought it in St Austel Cornwall years ago) I was just starting to paint the Ginger Bread men when I spied the dice I bought today (yesterday) from The Works 'specially for this game, which I made when I was 16/17! Yes! A hundred years ago! Nearly. You have to have two dice or if there's a few of you playing a dice each and one for the monster. My idea came from a pony game, called Chase Me Charley. Two teams start at each end of the gymhana arena...they start off (in pairs) both teams charging around the jumps, they meet in the middle, which could be fatel, and when the  teams jump their last jump, the next team goes... but of course there's no ponies in this as every one gets a little creature and starts at the beginning...but coming up from the other end is... The Monster! Who's called Charley and who you have to get away from! So, everytime the dice is thrown the monster moves too. Whoever is left standing is the winner. Debbie, my sil, (who was about 6 when I made it)wondered where it was a few months back and once the grandkiddies saw it, they loved playing. I've lost the money and the cards, but that doesn't matter! I can make some more!

 So the painting of the Gingerbread men got put on hold...I painted one in gold...

 And then added a bit of orange to the brown but still not ginger enough! And that's when I spotted the dice...

Close up of my boxes, it has a handle, and the lid fits both boxes. The mug has sheep on it! Makes a change!

Brother was moved again. Hospital, home, back to hospital, then Macmillian Cancer Care for a while and then, they moved him out because he wasn't ill enough! So, he's in a Care Home now. All part of the same unit but I have to have a 'test' before I can visit... hopefully tomorrow! (today) It's all fun and games! Well, that's it from me. I've only just linked, but I should see you soon! Nip over to Stamping Ground and join in!
