      Yes, I enjoyed Nottingham. Came away with ideas and spent a few quid. I need to accelerate lining the roof now so my invasion of the loft can start!

      You must have a double then!

  3. looking forward to Nottingham Show later, but wishing I'd managed to get some sleep... caffiene and sugar it is today then!

  4. having been ill all of last week and not really looking online much as a result. Was a surprise to find rmweb under new ownership, but the statement bodes well I think.

      Yes Kelly, I just stumbled on in my zombified half-asleep state with tea in one hand. Saw the colour scheme and assumed I hit the wrong bookmark, so I closed the page & then reloaded it. :-D

  5. seem to have a stinking head cold... bah!

  6. Very tired, and feeling worse for wear after a busy weekend. Saw Andrew Lawrence this evening at Warwick Arts Centre. Sadly wasn't as good as I'd hoped.

  7. looking forward to seeing Andrew Lawrence tonight. insomnia not helping tho..

  8. had a good evening out at LWMRS. Natalie borrowed my new smartphone, and promptly took 300+ photos with it. It seems to be pretty good for it. Tired now.

  9. had a nice geeky evening out, involving pizza and the local LUG social meeting.

      Pizza is always good!

      LoL, I looked up LUG as I thought it might be a Lupus thing as my wife has Lupus/Fybromyalgia, but should have clicked with the "geeky"...

  10. Enjoyed the right track dvd. Now understand about soldering a little better than i did before, and wanting to give it a try soon. Also, 'The tube' on BBC2 was good.

      And as for the Tube - surely one of them is dead and the other one is now a dull mainsteam piano plonker?

    4. Kelly

      Kelly

      halfwit - Part 1 doesn't. IIRC Part 2 (which I've yet to watch) does, but the Alan Gibson 4F featured has a etched body, the others have white metal bodies (SEF 61xx, DJH A2). Also, wrong tube ;)

  11. time to curl up with a mug of earl grey tea, and watch one of those Right Track DVDs.

  12. think next time I see the SEF stand I might get a Met Brake Van/3plank wagon kit and see how i get on with white metal

      SEF will probably be at Alexandra Palace in a few weeks time.

    3. Kelly

      Kelly

      Colin: yes, I just checked, they will be there. They're always friendly and great to have a chat to, they even remembered me and asked after me whenever Natalie saw them, even though I'd not been to exhibitions for over 5 years! Always make a point of going and having a chat with them at shows if they're there.

      We had Dave and Mick and the SEF stand at Tonbridge yesterday, and yes they are always happy to meet and remember people they mmet at exhibitions.

  13. no surprise that i woke up aching. this calls for drastic measures: http://tinyurl.com/6r85j3o

  14. Today I should of been going to the Midlands Goth Festival, instead I've been unable to due to feeling too exhausted and too much pain :( i've spent the time resting and reading the brm annual instead though, so not entirely wasted...

      Kev_Lewis

      Oh no! That's a shame. I hear that Inkubus Sukkubus are playing there this year.

    2. Kelly

      Kelly

      Kev - Yes they are, and the people organising it are friends of mine. Feel rather annoyed that I'm not well enough. I saw Ink Sukk last October though at least.

    3. Kev_Lewis

      Kev_Lewis

      Ah, lucky you. I've been wanting to see them for a while. They don't seem to play many gig though. Hope you feel better soon.

  15. hmm, BRM Annual 2012 arrived in post. don't recall ordering it, or it being part of the 3 issues free offer? nice surprise and good read though.

  16. feeling a bit imroved from yesterday. but still not great. hate 'flare' ups :( daren't go near a scalpel as my cooridination is woeful atm :(

      Sounds like lots of good reading until you strengthen up; that would be my excuse anyway. Good luck.

    2. Kelly

      Mallard: that is what I am doing really, that and watching a lot of telly! maybe i should put those new Right Track DVDs on, but then I'd be even more itching to go near a scalpel, do'h!

  17. thats the blog here tidied up and catagories added and entries tagged. thank heavens there weren't many! the blog here mainly mirrors the wordpress ones, with some exceptions.

  18. Think I've gotten the wordpress blog set up how I want it finally. Added some more posts there today too.

      Good to see you back Kelly. Motorhead..mmmmm

      The Nth Degree

      The mechanic at my local garage is very much into the V Force aircraft. He has a couple hanging from the garage ceiling! I think he has a Spitfire or Hurricane too.

    4. Kelly

      Kelly

      Bangor Lad - thanks :) yes Motorhead/ACDC/et al get my vote too! :) ; The Nth Degree - I've never liked the idea of hanging them from the ceiling, knowing my luck i'd stab an eye out on the refueling probe. Think I'll go the diorama route, as it gives me an excuse to also module the ground support equipment too :)

  19. i had 7-8 hours sleep, but feel even more tired than i did last night. i hate my body on mornings like this. Time for tea and porridge...

      halfwit: I rather enjoyed watching the DCC one I borrowed off of Natalie last year, hence getting these.

    3. halfwit

      halfwit

      The wagon ones are good (although I don't agree with Rice on some points), as are the landscape ones. Weathering and Painting and Lining are good apart from Wright's contribution (why?).

    4. Kelly

      Kelly

      halfwit: I'll find out for myself when I get around to watching them :)

  21. feeling so worn out today, managed to sort all of the photos before getting an early night last night though, now to upload Barrow Hill/MRL and Warley photos... someone get me sugar!!

  22. time for tea and that cheese toastie, got side tracked... then photo sorting!

      I need to stop drinking tea and do something constructive!

    2. Kelly

      Kelly

      drinking tea isn't constructive?? since when! it is constructive in that it wakes me up and keeps me going! ;)

  23. Thats me done for the day, washing, food shopping, bins... cheese 'n tomato toastie and a large mug of earl grey needed!

  24. Had a good afternoon/evening yesterday with Natalie visiting. Now for more tea, and to head out and get essentials, etc. Later I might try to clear space and build one of the pile of kits...
