Andrew P Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Looks like a sort of US version of the Mach Loop but without the grass, rain, sheep, and mist I was in Wales last week, and sitting in the Bungalow near Bala Lake on Wednesday evening I heard a Hurculees, I looked up and saw it flying behind the Bungalow opposite, at about 100 ft. We have had the usual Tornado's and Eurofighters all week over the Lake and coming off the Mach Loop and Capel Celyn, absolutely magic. Last Nov there was a Chinook doing low level passes over the Lake. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post grandadbob Posted May 5, 2018 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) Evenin' each, A very weary old git here as today there has been much gardening done, gazebos erected, furniture uncovered and cleaned where necessary and BBQ checked and throughout all that it was rather warm to say the least. Aching all over but I'm now the proud holder of a multitude of brownie points. Now had a couple of bottles of Pride and a glass of Rioja so feeling a bit more relaxed. I also managed to play with my new toy for about half and hour and have figured out the Sat Nav and programmed the radio. I managed a 10 minute drive as well first thing as The Boss wanted to go to Sainsbury's - how unusual - not. She has confirmed that she really likes the car and it was a good choice. That's all right then. Edited May 5, 2018 by grandadbob 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbishop Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Back from the South Western Circle meeting in Salisbury. Effectively no trains on Southeastern, so I had to cycle to and from Waterloo. One tired and saddle-sore bunny. Bed calls. Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted May 5, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2018 We had a pleasant afternoon. We found some toys for our nieces to play with. They did go and select some Thomas books but we didn't get round to reading them. Maya played a boardgame with me she had just got that was based on "Frozen". I tried my best to win but failed . There may be a return match tomorrow . Nina played happily with assorted toy vehicles . We haven't done much since everyone departed at teatime . I do hope all those enduring depression start to improve . I don't get depressed but my mother suffered from depression and anxiety for most of her life . I am feeling sad at the moment but I know it isn't the same. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted May 5, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2018 Good evening everyone As we got to bed rather late last night, we had a brief lie-in this morning. By the time I’d got downstairs and had some breakfast it was 10:30. Once breakfast was finished I went straight outside and made the most of the sunshine. My first job was to cut the grass, this was then followed by a bit of weeding, mainly in some of the pots we have dotted around the garden. Then it was a quick tidy up, put all the cuttings/weeds in the green bin. All this activity took me nicely to dinner. The garden is really starting to look good at the moment, the apple tree is in full bloom, the bluebells are out, the sweet peas are starting to grow and the roses are also doing well. After dinner, I went to the workshop and trimmed off the edging of the worktop which I’d glued in place on Thursday. Next, I finished wiring up the bench sockets and then I made a few adjustments to my painting bench, that fits under the workbench. Although it fit nicely between the two cupboards, it did stick out a little. So I moved the wheels slightly forward a bit and removed an inch of the rear of the top. It’s all looking quite good now. Tomorrow I will make a start on swapping the storage units and the shelves from one side to the other. But that will be in between applying various coats of white paint to a picture frame for Sheila wants painting. Chrisf. I do hope that your concert was better than you were expecting and that the black dog goes back in his kennel and stays there, but they can be a bit of a bu99er can these black dogs. Tony. I hope your sadness goes soon, but I have a feeling that it may well take a while. Goodnight all. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted May 5, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2018 Thanks for that Phil, I'm happy with the result, the buyer is on his way from Sunderland at the moment. I agree it would have been nice to get more. However my main aim was to get something for a piece of work that has been in my loft for the past 30 years and has some damage that needs repairing. I couldn't bear to take it to the tip so overall I'm happy but sorry that you didn't get it. I've now got a nearly complete plug for a Battleship hull from WW1 to put on but that will go on tomorrow as I'm out next Saturday. Jamie I must admit that I would have had difficulty in collecting it so perhaps just as well. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted May 6, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 6, 2018 I always get confused when cross ponders refer to temperatures. This stems from some years ago going to Boston in January. 'Today's temperatures will be in the low 20s.' Yipee thought I, T shirt and shorts................................ We get TV stations rom south of the border. Some of them give U.S. weather in F and Canadian weather in C. Some U.S. newspapers print weather maps the stop at the border -- big surprises if our systems start to move south. Speaking of which We had a major storm yesterday with wind gusts well over 100 kph -- possibly 140 -- I know it set records. Also major slashing rain. Many trees blown right over. We saw what looked like a couple of pizza boxes in the yard. Leaving the house today, she said "There's a hole by the drainpipe." Four panels out of the soffit and the channel bent down. I collected the panels and went on to the book sale. She found a copy of The Cretan Runner about Crete under the Nazi occupation. My cousin gets a brief mention as a British spy who was captured by the Germans for making a small idiomatic mistake. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisf Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Good morning one and all, with many and grateful thanks for all the kind thoughts. I know full well that there are others in trouble a lot worse than me but the bit of my brain that broods does not always appreciate this and it’s been doing a lot of that over the past few days. I suppose we all have little niggles that are insignificant taken singly but I find that when they combine with others they do not add themselves together but multiply, leading to the overwhelming effect that signals an episode. I should be used to it by now. Yesterday I felt much better after an early false alarm. I had breakfast in Tesco and bought some necessities including bran flakes [ugh – blame Sister Diabetes] and sirloin steak [yum]. My outward run was on a gaily painted bus branded Norfolk Coaster. Apparently that outfit has stopped running and most of the buses have ended up in these parts. The seats are so much more comfy! Later I mowed the dandelion patch – sorry, lawn - and ripped some triffids from the path but the heat beat me. I managed, at the third attempt, to book a room in a guest house in Wakefield at the time of Scalefour North 2019. The lesson, apparently, is always talk to the lady who serves breakfast. Now I have to figure out why a hotel room in London on 20th December cost £52 last year and £78 this. The concert last night was OK but the band was not really my cup of tea and I knew this when I booked my ticket. It was better than sitting at home on my tod watching Casualty. Today I will cook the sirloin steak for lunch and visit Raunds in the evening for what looks to be a very good concert. In the week ahead I must sort out with the surgery why I have to take a blood test which I have already taken and make an appointment for the diabetes clinic which I have already made. This will help to take my mind off the appointment on Friday with Professor Oncologist. Obviously I am apprehensive of what he will tell me. You and I know that there is no use worrying about it but that won’t stop me. Warm thoughts, then, to Debs, Robert and his dad, Tony and Aditi, Andyram, Simon, Mal and all others in distress Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post NGT6 1315 Posted May 6, 2018 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2018 Mawnin' awl. Setting off for a trip to Bavaria to visit my aunt in due course. No, I haven't strapped on any lederhosen, though. I'm not sure they'd be my style to begin with! Will try keeping in touch, but, just in case, may I renew my best wishes for everyone in distress or ill health… 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
