Never ask permission as it is better to ask for forgiveness EXCEPT with SWMBO in which case keeping you gob shut and hoping she doesn't notice for some time so that by then you can honestly say you have it for ages and she must have known about it at the time as nothing ever gets past her!

I was sent to do some shopping by SWMBO and wore just a very light summer jacket. Arrived home wishing I had left the jacket at home. Warm sun with no breeze left me feeling very damp! Every time I look at my list of music it gets longer not shorter so I have decided to give up on that idea. SWMBO is making a crochet baby toy bear complete with moving legs and arms. Every five minutes I get called to have a look and asked if she has things level or whatever. One day I will be allowed to do my jobs without interruption, maybe a few days after my funeral! SWMBO wants Hamburgers this evening, must be made freshly not the sort that you can buy either frozen or chilled and guess who has the job of making them and cooking them (and then being told what is wrong with them!).

I know it is not really part of this thread but it appears that the platforms had no run round loops so did they keep a loco at AP and step back ?

So that's the two daughters but where is mum?

Naughty, naughty.

Breakfast eaten (fried bacon, fried egg and toast), tea drunk, about to get a mugacoffee. Yesterday was scrambled egg on toast and the day before porridge so I don't have too much fried stuff! Living in a fifth floor flat I have some great views across London but thankfully no garden as I hate gardening with a passion. Probably go for an exercise walk via one of the local shops to collect some milk. I really need to get my bedroom tidied so a start can be made on the layout. I have had goodness knows how long and have failed miserably to make even a start to the job that was going to be done as soon as I retired (that would have been 13th May 2016)! I blame too much time spent on RMweb and doing jobs SWMBO thinks are more important. Stay safe, be alert (most of those who need be alert don't seem to know what it means).

There is a point like that at Ropley on the Mid Hants. I think they are called Barry Slips but I may be totally wrong with the name.

The BSKs have three holes in the floor. I regularly sweep the floor on the Mid Hants and the last bits of dust go down the holes very nicely!

I tried calling the number from my mobile and get ringing.

My wife and I both have mobile phones and we have a home phone which is part of the Broadband deal I have. We had the call blocking service but still got around four spam calls a week from all the usual suspects. As we never give out our home number to friends we solved the problem by just removing the phone from the line so all they get is constant ringing that is never answered. I hope they enjoy waiting for us to answer. It saves me blowing my spare Acme thunderer down the phone at them.

Now you have us all wondering what you have come up with for them!

Now under new management and in much better condition although the rails are somewhat closer than they used to be!

Many years ago I stood up on a train when a pregnant woman got on and it was standing room only. To which she told me that I was being sexist, she was pregnant not disabled. So I barged past her and sat down again! The two ladies on either side of me both told me I had done the right thing and one said she would have slapped her rou d the face for being so rude if she had been in my position.

Listening to Chris Country radio most of the day every day and then my Lainey Wilson 17 song Spotify playlist during the evening.

Most people are indeed keeping well away from everyone but we have a few 'runners' who totally ignore the idea of social distancing and I was called racist because I moved out of the way of a large group of African looking people! I just said sorry and kept moving.

Nothing wrong with US diseasals provided they don't come here! They would get stuck in our tunnels and alongside our platforms.

My plans for my own layout which has a heritage railway is that there will be no turntable. Most of my steam locos are tank engines but the few tender engines will run tender first half the time.

I am not surprised and I could add lots of others I enjoy like Steeleye Span, Dusty Springfield, ABBA, Supremes....... the list is endless and I also enjoy some classical music so I have just listed the ones I listen to most evenings on Spotify.

I was not keen on her when she was country and recently she has done some new songs that are close to country but still not that keen although I would not turn the radio off when she is on.

Well I had better work out my ten favourite singers, I don't have albums, and I will list the best songs from each, in my opinion. My first shot at a list had 19 acts so I need to reduce it but not sure how! Ashley McBryde Blake Shelton Chase Rice Chris Stapleton Darius Rucker Deanna Wheeler Dixie Chicks Highwomen Jessica Lynn Josh Turner Katy Hurt Lainey Wilson Lauren Jenkins Luke Combs Miranda Lambert Sarah Darling Shania Twain Tanya Tucker Ward Thomas I will go away and have a think about it!

Certainly not singing!

If nothing is said and it accidently get cut to 15 inches instead of 12 inches then the problem is solved!

All three can take a long walk on a short pier as far as I am concerned although I might enjoy trying to save the two ladies!!!!!

A Bulleid Pacific must have recently been this way!

Belated birthday greetings to Rick. I have a feeling I would be thrown of ER's if I gave you my list of 10 albums I would want! If it rains here we will all know that it is GDB's fault after he washed his car. Have a great day and stay safe folks.
