I didnt even have any trouble in St.Petersberg or Vladivostok just pre Covid!

Or if finances allow send them off to finishing school in Switzerland.

Last year I went to the Dutch railway museum in Utrecht and the museum itself was great but the shop was terrible. I just wanted a bit of something as a keepsake but the shop was full of kids toys that had very little relevance to the museum. In the end I bought a couple of retro poster style post cards to add to my collection of retro style post cards. Better get going while I feel a bit more ‘energised’.

Morning All, Tigger’s bounce been missing for while. Dont know what today holds but paperwork is mounting up and the garden is looking a mess. Swmbo’s foot is not showing much improvement and she still has trouble walking. My team put in a decent performance yesterday in the away leg so hopefully a positive result on Friday evening will lead to a trip ‘down the smoke’ at the end of the month. I suppose I’d better get up as ignoring the jobs makes things worse. I think another coffee before I start anything as I did have breakfast early. @monkeysarefun, I am watching you! Bettagetamoveon.

I have a passing interest in ships and note that this ship is designed to load /unload from the starboard side. I’ve traveled on the Hurtigruten service quite a few times and note the hold access doors n their ships are only on the port side.

The only night I spent in hospital as child was spent in a bed next to a ‘Mr Moon’. Probably about 6 years old at the time and no paediatric ward.

Further to my early post, Emley Moor transmitting station’s tower is a grade 2 listed structure and when completed in the early 70’s was the sixth tallest freestanding structure in the world. (Now 25th) and can be clearly seen from our kitchen window. More information for those with insomniac tendencies. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emley_Moor_transmitting_station Thankyou for your attention.

Evening All, Ive had a day out, unfortunately not to London but to see the UK’s tallest free standing structure. Unfortunately it was cloudy so didn’t see it in its full glory. Funny day really, we couldn’t decide what to do so decided to take the old motor home out for a spin but didn’t know where we were going when we set off.. Called off at motorway services for a takeout sarnie and ended up at Emley Moor where we used the facilities in the van to make a hot drink. Another example of our extravagant lifestyle. What shall we do tomorrow? Goodnight.

Dont go Bear, its a cunning trap. I bet you've been promised a free all you can eat pizza lunch!

Did you see on the Venice section the building with the wall collapsing due to ‘bedroom Olympics’ being practiced in an upstairs bedroom?

I love Rocky Road. Wierd Al Yankovic

Sydney earlier this week. He loves the chew but we don’t let him have it for too long as he ends up with bleeding gums. I think he afraid that if he falls asleep the chew will disappear.

Evening All, Congratulations to @BR60103 and his other half, and let there be more. Sat waiting for the football to come on the radio but feeling a bit tired so not expecting to listen to the final whistle but not really bothered. Here’s a picture of Sydney in the woods on Tuesday. He didn’t seem his bubbly self and just wanted to sit and watch the world go bye. Must admit, some most of the time that’s all I want to do. Anyway better take Hovis out before the match starts. Goodnight

Somebody else that’s a bit p1ssed off. Sort of thing that makes me smile. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65558694?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbc_live&ns_linkname=65558694%26Watch minister get angry telling-off for media leaks%262023-05-11T10%3A15%3A14.000Z&ns_fee=0&pinned_post_locator=urn:bbc:cps:curie:asset:269220f2-acf1-4c44-9363-b3054466411f&pinned_post_asset_id=65558694&pinned_post_type=share

When I visit the IPMS event at Telford, I’m always in awe of the quality of the maritime models even though it’s aircraft that I particularly interested in. I think the photo etched parts make more of a difference to ship models than any other, I’m thinking of gun barrels, railings and radar masts.

Think you’d better take it easy with the painkillers!

Looking at the way the sparks are flying it looks like the wheel is going some!
