Foster Street - Where Does All the Time Go

Today's big question Is where does all the time go? I managed to finish work relatively early today, all I had to do was beat the traffic on the motorway. Drive to the bank to get the money for the repairs to the Domestic Overlords Car, park mine close to the garage but not too far away from where we live (halfway).

 

Then walk (yes actually walk :)) to the garage, pay for the repairs then drive the worlds smallest car home (more like wear the car home as its not easy to drive it when your six foot seven tall :() without anyone you know seeing you, and ignoring the looks of ridicule and laughter on the face of pedestrians as you chug by.

 

Then find away of getting myself actually out of the car, and clicking my body back into some form of normal shape, then get in the house and have a quick coffee the first of the day, despite being out side the house for 10 hours :(. Then walk what seemed like the length of Cheshire to where I had left the normal car, for normal people, not like the micro machine.

 

Then drive home, get some dinner and then, time for modelling, except its too late to hammer or drill because it might disturb the neighbours, I have no idea how I can do that as they seem a bit disturbed to me already :)

 

So as I type this I'm actually trying to work out what I have actually achieved?

 

Well I managed to collect the Domestic Overlords, Jam Jar :)

Added three points to the storage yard

Managed to cut the water surface on the Canal (don't ask it may form a future entry if it works)

Lost the camera so I'm unable to take any photo's (don't cheer so loudly)

 

So I guess all in all it was not the worlds most successful modelling night, am I the only one this happens to?

 

Until the next time Happy Modelling :)

Nope you're not the only one this happens too! At least you've actually managed to get your layout to an very presentable standard - my layout has been 'in progress' for years but never actually seems to find the time to be built. Anyway I will temporarily be without the day job for a couple of months soon so I hope to get things started properly then!

I know exactly what you mean. I'm just impressed you actually had the energy to do some modelling after a long day, I struggle with that sometimes. Perhaps the most important thing though is that you did something for the D.O. That should pay off, at some point :-)

Atso, what's happening with the day job?? More importantly post some details of your layout, stop making excuses and get modelling :)

I did not actually get much modelling done but at least the Domestic Overlord has their jam-jar back, as for a future payoff, I never do things expecting a payoff, I do them because I'm a good boy honest :)

The Domestic Overlord is from near that part of the world, so I know how people from there can moan, personally I would have asked if they remembered "Play School" because if they would like to pick a window I would happily throw them threw it.

 

To think I am mellowing in my old age :)

The Domestic Overlord is from near that part of the world so I know how people from down there can moan....

 

Personally I would have asked them if they remembered "Play School" as if they would like to chose a window I would be happy to throw them threw it.......
