Shunter’s Poles at 06:00, Old Oak Common. The win is on first touch and the loser buys the beer! I Remain Your Faithful Servant &tc., &tc., &tc. Hope you have booked your time slot in the nearest pub for those socially distanced beers Bad news from our local brewery this morning. They have been talking with the council and found that some of the new rules are ambiguous so they wont be able to reopen this weekend. Another pub I have emailed as stipulated on their website to book a table for Sunday lunchtime but so far they have not yet responded. All going to be a new world visiting pubs and we may end up sticking with drinking at home depending on the experience over the next few weeks. Its meant to be relaxing so if its not then no point going. Today I decided to clean the conservatory so loads of plants to move out then the old TV, the tables. Curtains removed washed then rehung etc. Where do all the dead woodlice get in?? All nice and today now but still removing the needles out of my fingers from the lethal cactus plants my other half loves. A bit of garden railway running then food shop for us and Mum and by chance met an ex work collegue in there. We havent seen him since xmas for beers and was going to ring him today to join us in the now cancelled booking for the brewery. Tomorrow to mums and some gardening for her. I must also remember to collect my prescription. I hear Leicester is being lockdown with pubs not reopening but I reckon people will just travel away from the city despite being told not to travel Edited June 29, 2020 by roundhouse 3 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the Sun or the Mirror and that was it. Haven't been in one for 14 years though.. And that was a one off for a job interview. The last time regular haircuts were needed was 2001. Nowadays there are none due to possibility of coronavirus being attached!. Brian. 3 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure, but on the engine they’re supposed to be 1/4 - 32 tpi, and the same on the bottom of the valve.

I believe they’ve actually sent me the wrong one, as the 1/4 - 32 valve comes with a Union for 3/16 inch pipe, and my Union most certainly isn’t for 3/16 inch pipe, more like 1/4. 4 3 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bbishop Posted June 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2020 Evening awl, I can load RMWeb on the computer when I'm volunteering, but can't actually sign in. Actually I find it pretty amazing that the volunteers are totally trusted with sensitive information - and we do not abuse that trust. So I can follow all your chat but cannot respond. So keep it up, there are times when I'm hectic and times when I'm bored. However, nothing really to report. Bill 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our coffee table is covered in the things! There are 18 in view..... It's only being done so that the trains hide behind the trees in the pix so they won't attract the attention of the awl flinger.

One of Mrs NHN's trees, with an industrial loco in the background, which do not all look the same. Hunslet 16" in this case. Once the Forest of Dean is finished, Neil, can you send some of them over the sea to Hipposhire (the trees, not Hunslets)? Dave 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Erichill16 Posted June 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2020 Evening All. Long day today but not complianing. SWMBO asked if I wanted breakfast in bed getting. Oh yes please! Didn’t realise it was only 5.00am! Took Sydney for a long walk up to Mils, challenging in the wind, where we found out that her husband was being discharged from hospital. He’s been in for about six weeks now. Walked home then took Syd back to Bils and then proceeded to property that will become our new pharmacy. Met a bloke who is giving us quote for the fencing job. Quoted there and then and as his product was better quality and cheaper then the earlier quote we accepted. Then off to the supermarket to get provisions for Mil and her husband and dropped them off and had 5mins with Harry (Mils husband). He suffers with dementia but seemed pretty coherent but has lost quite a bit of weight. Back home, tea and 20minures in the modelling room. Early start tomorrow as fitters coming with some blinds that have been on order for an age. Regards Robert ps forget to say called off at pharmacy to check evebody was ok. 18 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
