I would agree that Wheels of Steel was a sad loss, even more so as I understand his website is now gone as well. The best purchase I made from Jeff was a Hornby Dublo 2 rail EMU in beautiful condition along with two coaches suitable for being used as centre cars to make a four car unit.

I think a cat loving rock chic may have been using your computer!

Stupidity is probably the main reason. The other is that some of the "I have rights" brigade think they are above the law and follow certain government people (the world over) who think they can get away with anything.

Re-built Merchant Navy = Poor man's Britannia

But it does taste wonderful if you have working taste buds!

The June Model Rail says that final liveries, guises and prices will be announced once they open the order books so you are correct in thinking that you cannot order them at present.

Your craftsmanship is wonderful. I love seeing what you have done each time you post. A real inspiration.

Who would want to buy something advertised by half eaten fruit?

I fear I would have a deep connection with her right fist. It would be coming out the back of my head!

I shall be in sorts of trouble if I am caught looking at that photo!

That is living very dangerously. In fact I am surprised you are still living if you have ever answered the question that way!

Still enough to do a dozen!

I think I speak for most of us on here. We can all feel down at times but that NEVER makes you a burden. Keep coming here and posting, it may help get the negative feelings out and that will help you. We are here to listen and never forget that. See you tomorrow and hope you have a better day than you seem to have had today.

Was that couple of dozen you meant?

It's five o'clock somewhere means you can drink all day and night if you want to. At least that is what I take the song to mean!

The forecast promised a thunderstorm and rain so as usual it has been hot, sunny and cloud free. I stopped bothering with weather forecasts when Mr Fish said there would not be a hurricane and I woke up the next morning to lots of trees lying down! Best way of knowing the weather is to look out the window and if you need to know the temperature open the door and stand outside for a short time. SWMBO had her walk, longer than yesterday but again it was the heat and not her replacement hip that caused her to get a lift in her wheelchair back home with me pushing. Grilled bacon and scrambled egg was enjoyed for breakfast and I have some chicken breasts to cook for our evening meal. She has an iced coffee and I have a cold milk to drink at present.

The answer to that is "Nothing, but I couldn't find my other neck", then make sure you are out of arms reach and she doesn't have anything heavy to throw at you.

They may claim to be thinking but I am never sure that it is the right label!

I thought he was drunk!

I wish I could get the photos I have promised but it is looking as though it could be late this year or even next year before trains can run on the MHR and I won't be working as guard until the trains are running.

Go on you know you want to and don't forget the periscope and the guards log that they have to fill in for each journey!

My SWMBO likes the crunchy Peanut Butter. I think it smells vile.

I like the Lime Marmalade and Marmite but not together. SWMBO hates Marmite and tells me that because I don't like Peanut Butter I have funny tastes! I try not to get involved in that discussion.

Well breakfast was enjoyed, the grapefruit was a red one and so juicy! Very nice as was the toast with Marmite on mine and Peanut Butter and Lime Marmalade on SWMBO's. She thinks mine is disgusting and I think hers is worse but the world would be a boring place if we all thought the same! BBQ Pork Ribs for this evening are always enjoyed by both of us! Lots of noise outside due to neighbours having a paddling pool for their kids in what is supposed to be a quiet area. Views on what is quiet seem to differ.

Made a mug of tea when I woke up at 9am which was enjoyed while listening to Chris Country at a very low volume. Made mugs of coffee for SWMBO and myself at 10am. I enjoyed mine straight away while SWMBO took until 10.30am to stir! She is now doing some crochet while I have turned up the volume of the radio and am about to have a shower. Breakfast today is half a Grapefruit plus whatever else I can get away with. BBQ ribs are scheduled for evening meal today. I hope we will have a walk today or I will be forced to think of something I need from a shop!
