  1. Finally having a week off, and of course I'm back again in front of my computer working hard on the last chapters of my weathering book... Just plain typical of me... never able to stop working even when I'm not at work !...

      I'd be delighted if you would agree to proof read it... I'm still in the process of editing the text right now, but as soon as I've got it done, I'll come back to you.

      Thanks for the proposal.

      I can try, but I'm not sure my "Sunny dance" would be quite fine... I'm more known for my classical "Rain Dance"... Like in august in the Ardennes when I just had to swallow back my words when, just after I said "That's a nice sky backdrop there", it really started to pour like if they opened all the taps up there : a H.U.G.E. rain wall !!!

      And according to the National Meteorology Institutes's previsions, we should at the best have a m...

  6. is appalled by how quickly solvent evaporates in the heat. At least give me time to brush it on

      Hi there. I had the same problem when using solvent, and this is why I moved to more classic plastic glue like the "Revell Contacta Liquid" I use now. It's more viscous and therefore will evaporate more slowly than pure solvent. Another solution would be to add small scraps of plastic in your solvent bottle to let it dissolve in it and thus make the solvent a bit slower to evaporate, giving you also more time to adjust pieces together and reducing the risks of "glue run-offs...

  7. Yay ! One more year added to the meter today... I will only have my gift next month though... A little trip to Didcot for a steam train ride...

  8. Phew it's been hot today - 36 degrees and 82% humidity!! I'll be glad to leave GuangZhou, tomorrow, as Shanghai should be much more comfortable.

  9. Sneezing like crazy ... Stinking rotten weather ... Thanks God for the perfect cure: Tea & Scotch Whisky

    1. alderson.eric.j

      alderson.eric.j

      Ah... Sorry to say that, Horsetan, but I fear it does not work for that... The main result of my "cure" is to induce a good "sweat". You drink it before going to bed and you sweat the cold out of your system in a few days... Also another effect is that it helps you sleep (imagine trying to sleep when sneezing like crasy...)

      I know, but sometimes I derivate from the recipes to explore a bit "out of boundaries" in the kitchen... This is one of those results I happen to like very much (as well as my special frittata I make with goat cheese and fresh sliced peperoni & tomatos - direct from the garden when available).
