Yes I am still alive, I have not been killed in some strange million-to-one accident that left my body bruised and broken, and the Domestic Overlord, suffering from the pain of loss cruising the Bahamas with only brilliant scenery, weather, and an endless supply if cocktails to make up for missing me

Hang on I have just noticed an Airline ticket for one on the kitchen table..............

What I have been doing is adding little details to the layout, and trying to finish off all those little jobs you tend to ignore/forget about as we move on to the next more interesting job.

One thing I have noticed is "dust" it seems to get everywhere on the layout and some of it is of the cunning variety, as you do not notice it until you take a picture and there is it, blowing a raspberry at you. Well not for long, you mark my words you have not beaten me yet, I just have to remember using the hoover to remove it, removes a lot of other things too (street lamps, animals, and even wagons.....)

What I have concentrated on today is adding a little detail to the yards, and shops on Foster street, and it appears to be washing day, I know the "privies" need doors and I have made them its just that they have been stolen, by that well known breed of dog you see in the TV adverts.

Yes I know he steals the toilet rolls in the adverts, but up North where everything here is lot tougher they tend to steal the bog doors.

Until the next time as ever Happy Modelling, and keep and eye out for those pesky dogs
