A package arrived yesterday. It was soft a squishy, like a pillow. What could be within?

It was a mat from Geek Villain. I can’t remember what inspired me to order this but I did and it arrived (from the UK to Australia) within a couple of weeks.

It’s very nice and very well made. It’s the 6′ x 4′ „Autumn“ design. It’s fleece and has a really nice feel with a very clean print. I chose this one because I like the non-uniform look with those sandy/bare earth patches that break up the grass pattern.

It’s a bit larger than 6×4 with a few inches overhang on the long edge and a small overhang on the short edges. One reason I wanted a fleece mat is so that I can place hills underneath to get that seamless effect as well at the prospect of placing small pieces of cottonwool (or whatever) to take away some of that that golf course flatness we all know and love.

There were creases in it (see pic above) from being folded and packed but the creases were almost undiscernible once it was laid out on the table.

As I said it has a really nice pattern with little patches of printed shrubbery.

I’m very happy with this purchase and there is only one thing better than this mat that I can think of. And that is…

A second mat!

Yes I ordered a matching pair so I can use them on either 6′ x 12′ or a 6′ x 8′ table.

And a second delivery arrived just this morning.

Two days in a row. 

What could this one be?

I tried to pick this up whilst I was in the UK recently but I was just out of time to get it. I think it was released the day I left for Greece so I had to wait until I got home to order it. When I did go to order it I discovered that the average price in Australia is about $60.00 which is one of the reasons I wanted to get it in the UK. However, I ordered it from Book Depositary instead and it cost $41.00. How is that possible?

Anyway; it looks nice and I’ll delve into it this evening to see what goodies await within…

Nice artwork, that’s for sure!
