I don't think I've mentioned it here, my apologies for the late notice.

I don't think I've mentioned it here, my apologies for the late notice. At 10.25 pm on Monday 25th June Mikey O'Brien passed away peacefully in the arms of his wife Bec, after standing against a brain tumour wrapped inoperably around his brainstem for more than 2 and a half years after the professionals predicted he would last.

Sailor, gamer and all around good fellow, one of Rob's sea scouts even when Rob was at Pelican Point he will be very much missed by everyone who knew him.

The world is a darker place without him, but he lit many lamps of joy that he leaves our lives illuminated by. Boardgames, love of sail, ska and a tricky game of Mornington Crescent and a great sense of humour are a few he's left with me.

Fair winds and calm seas, Mikey.

The next Twighlight Imperium game I play will be dedicated to you, seeing as it was one of your favourites, if not THE favourite.

  3. So sort of bluey - grey - black. Okay. This Ganggang/pussycat gryphon should be quite well matched then, colourwise. Just doing the feathers now. I'm a little limited in the colours I'm using so I'll do my best with what I've got available. Oh! This is for the postcard I'm sending you! :-)
