Had 3 trellis panels blown down in the gales, posts rotted at soil level. Spent the day removing the old stumps which some fool had concreted in... oh, wait, that was me!!

Email tells me I've won 2 million Euros in The "Euro Raffle Promotion" - all I need to do is send a heap of personal details, - Sure - must think I'm not awake!

Just come across this Gangnam Parody by the boys at Eton College

Close encounter with 66403, on new wheel sets, at Butterley yesterday.

Cream crackered! Just back from short (5mile) bike ride, first since being knocked off in January. I swear that someone has made the hills steeper while I've been laid up!

SWMBO has fractured a Metatarsal ( and NO! she does not play football!), so I'm promoted from chief cook and bottle washer to extra duties as chauffeur and go-fur. Any hope of modelling postponed.

email title =" Helpdesk@halifax.com ... Important Massage". Banking business must be slow if they are having to find other employment for their staff!

AndyY said "Drop by here after 11.00 on Saturday for some interesting announcements! " now 12.50! obviously enjoying himself.

DapolDave is happy about success in "model of the Year" voting, but where do we mere mortals see the results?

SWMBO is reading Sir Walter Scott's novel "Waverley". up to page 150 and no reference to a train line yet!

Grand-daughter is 13 today, where have the years gone?

Have a list of jobs for today! Now we have MI2 thrust into vision! Which takes priority?

End of the World predicted (again!) on 21st October.

recovered from a very enjoyable day (Sat.) at Statfold barn. about 11 engines in steam, some running double-headed. lots of other interest too.

Hoping for guidance on painting Plastruct assembly, (see thread in weathering, painting and transfers)

using some plasticard found in the loft. must date from 1970s. 10thou sheet marked 11p,30thou sheet at 20p, 60thou sheet at 44p. what are we paying now?

Like Stubbby I've a requesrt for bits for my challenge in Wanted. So far no offers of pre-war outline vans. But there again rolling stock seems to be the poor relation in Marketplace.

Just back from visit to Pendon, what magnificent modelling! Cound nt combine with visit to Didcot however. Ah,well, next time!

Stepping up from "Thomas" to the Challenge Diorama, isn't modelling frustrating? One step forward then 3 steps back, it seems! The way things are going I'll need a time extension to 2018?

Is Rmweb running slowly today? taking about 3 mins to log in then half a minute or more just to navigate from one page to the next.. Other sites visited by me and SWMBO do not seem to be affected.

just got email saying my Facebook account blocked. That's fine 'cos I don't have one, and don't want one, EVER!

my status hopelesly out of date, but no option to make it blank, like my brain!
