Lots too classy for me. Give me smoke and steam down on the miniature railway and you will find me on the station cat walk showing off highly polished shiny safety boots, bib and braces, fireman's jacket, and bowler hat. And, of course, I get to show off the locomotives!

Wouldn't say resting. Too busy modelling.

Wake up little Susie - Everly Brothers

Yesterday's test. Some very light sanding and polishing up on the rear end - time consuming but relaxing and, so far, it is looking good. That is my Bank Holiday sorted.

Click n collect groceries tucked away safely - in as much as I know where everything is. Now, for the past 5 weeks, our 2 sliced loaves of fresh multigrain bread had come in the “sliced bread” wrapper all nicely labelled, only it had not been sliced! Today, we did get sliced bread but it was not fresh bread but Tesco wrapped bread & seeded at that! Grains is grains. Seeds is seeds! Good news on the M front. I finally plucked up the courage (there is hope for all of us!) to start removing late ‘60s motifs off the VW bus full of The Prisoner fans. Nothing more than gently rubbing with a fine sanding bar. It is going to take awhile but the process does seem rather therapeutic.

Waiting for Ray to come in with click n collect groceries & he’ s here.

I have decided to have a go at removing the 60s motifs off the sides of the bus and doing a repaint job. I need to order some paint so it may take awhile to finish. In the meantime, have a good Bank Holiday.

Horrible, even. I am just grateful for what I have and for being able to do the things I do, including watching and enjoying the films once a year.

Down down - Status Quo

The Great Gonzo and Rizzo the Rat know all about that. "A blue furry Charles Dickens who hangs out with a rat? Charles Dickens was a 19th Century novelest! A genius!"

These tales remind me of my first washing machine disaster shortly after I first moved in as a wee young lass (though I thought I was quite old at the time, as you do!). I had put the wrong washing powder in the machine and yes it did exactly what it does in cartoons and comedy shows - frothed up beautifully. Ray was away, so in desperation, I knocked on our nextdoor neighbour's door who came in, saw the problem, opened the machine door and caught several washing up bowlsful of suds and emptied said bowlful of suds, in turn, on the other neighbour's lawn - holiday home at the time and no one at home! Had an interesting morning watching a video of the Super Blood Moon Eclipse happening down in New Zealand and, just as it was fast approaching Maximum, my internet suddenly decided to drop out so I missed it and had to replay it later. As the various eclipse highlights were spaced out, I decided to have a toot on the flute, playing my getting to know it tune. Then when half the moon was in darkness it suddenly occurred to me that I was playing 1/2 Moon. Of course, that set the heart beat going and I started to play it to the moon on the screen. Woah! Did that make a difference to my playing. Could not have asked for better at this stage of play. Amazing. Thank you, Moon. Well, people talk to their plants.... Fitt and Elfie gathering apace for the weekend. Time to catch up. Take care all and play safe. _________ Best wishes Polly
