Wild Man - Kate Bush 

I suspect getting the plumber was the hard part.

Best Of My Love - The Eagles 

Good evening everyone 

It seems like quite a while since I’ve done an evening post, but lately it seems that there aren’t enough hours in the day and I just couldn’t seem to find the time to post, keeping up with everyone else was enough. 

Anyway, back to today, we had some great weather, sunshine but a bit of a cool wind. Despite that, we had a lovely walk  at Dunham Massey, we saw lots of deer and plenty of birds (the feathered variety), but nothing unusual. This afternoon Charlie did come round, a bit later than usual, due to him getting his days mixed up! As usual, he continued working on his current model, whilst I built the chassis of what will be a small industrial 0-4-0 locomotive. I built the gearbox the other day and today I was able to install and test it the chassis. It ran well, but will benefit from running in, which I’ll do over the weekend. I also started modifying the body of an old Hornby loco to fit the chassis, but there’s still a bit of work to do there.

Good morning everyone 

I’m another one who has had measles and worked in a noisy environment, I also have tinnitus, a high pitch whining in my ears, you just get used to it. It’s looking a little overcast with the odd bit of sunshine today, so we’re going to chance having a walk in the grounds of Dunham Massey, with the possibility of a drink and a slice whilst there. This afternoon Charlie is calling round, as he can’t come on Thursday, so I’ve an afternoon in the workshop to look forward too as well. 
 

Back later.

Hello Earth - Kate Bush 

Good morning everyone 

I don’t know what happened over the weekend, but it just got away from me, it’s just Ben busy, busy ,busy here. Needless to say I’ve not even tried to catch up on what others have posted since Saturday night. I was hoping to get some more work done in the garden today, but the overnight rain might have put paid to that, I see how the ground is when I go out later. 
 

Best get in with it, back later.

Our House - Madness 

Good morning everyone 

We’ve got sunshine this morning, but it’s a lot colder than of late and the wind has gone too. I’ll be shortly heading off to Vickie’s to collect Ava, who is as usual spending the day here with us. I’m not sure what is on the agenda for today, but there’s definitely no baking involved, more’s the pity.
 

Anyway, must get going, back later.

Get Back - The Beatles 

Good morning everyone 

A bright sunny start to the day here in the northwest corner of England. I normally drop Sheila off at her Zumba class on a Thursday, but today we’re off to the Christie for my post blood test consultation. The appointment is for 12 o’clock, so there wouldn’t have been enough time for her to do her class, get home, shower and change before then, so no class for her today. My consultations are normally on a Wednesday, but for some reason it’s a Thursday this time. Hopefully we’ll be back in time for a late dinner before Charlie gets here for his afternoon model making session. 
 

At my interview for the roll I took in 1990, I worked for this company until I retired in 2017, I was asked what my thoughts were on planned maintenance? My answer was I thought it was essential, if breakdowns were to be kept to a minimum. I was then asked to explain my answer. I simply said, that only a fool would drive about in a car without maintaining the brakes or engine, that was just asking for trouble and even possible costly repairs. 
 

Back later.

Fire And Water - Free 

Good morning everyone 

I’m very confused at the moment, the reason is that sun is shining and the sky is blue, when the forecast was for grey skies and rain. So, I’m not sure what the plans are for today. I guess I’ll have to wait until the boss has made up her mind. 
 

Back later.
