Good morning everyone Well, I think we chose the right 2 days to go out, it’s wet outside, so I doubt I’ll get anything done in the garden today! So, it looks like a day in the workshop for me then, 😉 every cloud and all that! However, my first task will be to drop Sheila off at the church hall for her Zumba class, then I’ll search my ‘model boxes for some card I want for another little project. After that, it’s down the garden to the workshop. Back later. Brian

Beyond The Edge - Dan Fogelberg

Good evening everyone We’ve had another good day out today, lots of sunshine, even though there was a cool breeze. Disappointingly, the orchard area was closed, due to the ground being waterlogged, but we still managed to see some of the blossom. When we went to the cafe, it was closed for a refurbishment, but the did have a small temporary one in use, so we didn’t miss out on a drink or a slice, but FFS, it’s only 2 years old! We also came home with some more plants for the garden (and some more seeds), so, weather permitting, I think I’m going to be busy tomorrow. As anticipated, we spent the rest of the afternoon, relaxing and reading. We also did a spot of eyelid inspection too, I think all this fresh air is making us tired!

I suspect getting the plumber was the hard part.

Good morning everyone Another sunny start to the day here in the northwest corner of England, although it has suddenly gone very cloudy! The plan for today is to head off to RHS Bridgewater for a walk in the gardens, hopefully we’ll see the apple trees in blossom and we might even get a walk through the woods too. Of course after all that activity, we’ll need some sort of refreshment, so it would be very rude not to have a drink and a slice before we head back home. There are no firm plans for the afternoon, so a spot of reading might be in order. Back later. Brian

Best Of My Love - The Eagles

Good evening everyone It seems like quite a while since I’ve done an evening post, but lately it seems that there aren’t enough hours in the day and I just couldn’t seem to find the time to post, keeping up with everyone else was enough. Anyway, back to today, we had some great weather, sunshine but a bit of a cool wind. Despite that, we had a lovely walk at Dunham Massey, we saw lots of deer and plenty of birds (the feathered variety), but nothing unusual. This afternoon Charlie did come round, a bit later than usual, due to him getting his days mixed up! As usual, he continued working on his current model, whilst I built the chassis of what will be a small industrial 0-4-0 locomotive. I built the gearbox the other day and today I was able to install and test it the chassis. It ran well, but will benefit from running in, which I’ll do over the weekend. I also started modifying the body of an old Hornby loco to fit the chassis, but there’s still a bit of work to do there.

Speak To Me - Pink Floyd

Good morning everyone I’m another one who has had measles and worked in a noisy environment, I also have tinnitus, a high pitch whining in my ears, you just get used to it. It’s looking a little overcast with the odd bit of sunshine today, so we’re going to chance having a walk in the grounds of Dunham Massey, with the possibility of a drink and a slice whilst there. This afternoon Charlie is calling round, as he can’t come on Thursday, so I’ve an afternoon in the workshop to look forward too as well. Back later. Brian

Hello Earth - Kate Bush

Good morning everyone I don’t know what happened over the weekend, but it just got away from me, it’s just Ben busy, busy ,busy here. Needless to say I’ve not even tried to catch up on what others have posted since Saturday night. I was hoping to get some more work done in the garden today, but the overnight rain might have put paid to that, I see how the ground is when I go out later. Best get in with it, back later. Brian

Goodnight all

Our House - Madness

Good morning everyone We’ve got sunshine this morning, but it’s a lot colder than of late and the wind has gone too. I’ll be shortly heading off to Vickie’s to collect Ava, who is as usual spending the day here with us. I’m not sure what is on the agenda for today, but there’s definitely no baking involved, more’s the pity. Anyway, must get going, back later. Brian

Ride Like The Wind - Christopher Cross

Goodnight all

Good morning everyone The weather has changed considerably, it’s now wet and grey, although the rain has stopped falling at the moment. It’s the usual Friday activities for me today, a walk to the butchers will take place shortly followed by a quick visit to the Trafford Centre for a few items that I can’t get locally. As for the afternoon, probably spent reading or something similar. At my consultation yesterday, we discussed my latest PSA result (up to 17.i from 14.76) and I was informed that no action will be taken at the moment. Once it hits 20 or more, then I’ll be put on extra medication which they hope will bring my PSA back down. My next appointment is booked for the 10 July. That’ll some come round! Back later. Brian
