It's funny, I bought four items yesterday
(Wednesday - real calendar), from three Charity shops, a board game, a bag of
mixed Dinos', two Shopkins (don't
ask!) and a 4D helicopter, all-in for less than four-quid. The previous day I'd
scored a Buck Rogers game for one-fifty, and treated myself to a Reaper miniature for £1.99p (because
they didn't have any Zombies!!!
expansions!) while Monday brought the same sort of swag as yesterday's!
Monday's Swag!
While all that was going-on, PW's editor
sent a follow-up image for the Blog, Terranova sent the makings of two or three
posts and Chris has sent the Blog a follow-up and new entry for the Khaki
Infantry page and another follow-up for the Home Blog . . . quite literally -
even if I'd been posting at a rate of 3-a-day for the last three days I
wouldn't have cleared [only] the stuff that's come-in in the last 3 days!
It will all appear here eventually, all of
it, even if I spend the last few weeks of my life in a hospital bed with my
laptop at an odd angle, posting text-light articles every 20 minutes, with a Popsicle stick glued to my chin, it will
all appear here eventually.
But, unless I pull an organisational-rabbit*
out of a hat later today (Friday - Blog's calendar), there probably won't be
anything else until next Tuesday (maybe something Monday p.m.), when I should
get back into the swing, in the meantime; here's the dates for the coming week
or so.
* Readers should understand that
organisational-rabbits are rarer than dragon's turds.

Toys In The Media
Bit of a cheat as this isn’t a case of the
toys being used as a 'familiar' background or brand-recognisable trope for
selling something else, but rather a direct tie-in between Duracell, Hasbro (Titan Hero Power-FX Toys), Marvel (Avengers Infinity Wars movie) and Which? magazine? In which the toys are front-centre as part of the
advert.

The Pepsi should make you full of life bright eyed and bushey tailed and ready to go. But as long as you are doing the really important things (changing the cat litt and cooking yummy food for a VIP feline you will be forgiven FOR NOW)
