Will watch it on the big screen tonight better get the ciders ready and ear protectors for the wife. -
Done two masts today the one on the right was the second improvement on first one not so much solder more to do tomorrow. Question what's the best way to put wires across baseboard join is it one mast by each board or loose fit wires to the masts.

Great video watched it via a 55in TV so life like I did get told off because I turned the volume up a few times, keep them coming. -
It's sunny down here in shorts and shirt a bit cooler hope you and your family are keeping well

Update day 11 the last 2 days I have managed to keep my temperature at 37 throat as eased cough not much so hopefully it's passed so today rang work to say be back Monday for them to ring back to say they are temporary shutting down passenger count and money for the week is not worth running plus all the costs so now I am one of the 80%ers and I still can't go out so lots of modeling to do.
-
Well day 7, day 5 temperature started coming down to a safe level still feeling crap, day 6 temperature back up wife got in touch again with NHS they rang back all symptoms there she was told this could be in my body for another 2 weeks just got to keep a eye on it, hopefully when I get better still might not have a job to go back as they have reduced the services worse than Saturday service

Hi Daz It was going alright but the last few days I have been in a lot of pain so Saturday Elaine rang 111 for advice they sent me up the hospital to have lots of tests and wait for my bloods to come back to be told I have a infection in the area where they took the part from they gave me antibiotics in the arm a box of antibiotics and sent me home and go back Tuesday to see the consultant on what next to do.

Its what the surgeon's going to be doing is the problem he's going to fix it or remove it so I could be minus a part at the end of the day.at the moment the latter is the best thing in so much pain.
