A delightfully drizzly rainy day. Spent some time just standing out in it, neighbour just shook her head at me as usual. "Some people feel the rain, others just get wet." I love penguins, they're cute. Or at least they're cute from a distance; up close they stink. No clue about cameras, I've a Canon PowerShot, it works which is what matters. dd, is that the tower they keep you locked away in these days? Discovered Colman's mustard in the International Foods section of the supermarket, their categorisation of things is rather odd.

Cor, you're telling tales Gordon; I wasn't even there! Or maybe I was, early evening while cooking dinner, poking around on here waiting for the day to dawn in other time zones. Then suddenly people start sneaking out of bed early, and a topic was born that grew beyond all reasonable expectations. Spent the afternoon looking for a supplier of 10kg/metre (20lb/yd) rail, and reminding dad he doesn't have a car anymore. Advantage to not having a car is there's plenty of room for more fun things. Also, have recently discovered that it's cheaper to get groceries delivered than going to the shop myself, brilliant. ER keeps making me think of Eaton Railway lately.

Back when I first joined here I was yeah, then there was a whole lack of modelling due to work, and now the scale has gradually krept back up since then though. Hi Jock, sounds like you did more than I did; we actually spent more time in the lunch room than the courtroom! The Links/AJ hybrid? That mostly got lost in time I think, still have some wagons with it fitted though. However I have mostly been going back to large scale live steam, yes. With the exception of fiddling about with some Z gauge which I have a moderately sized collection of.

Hi Ed, that'd be a young red-bellied black snake, horrendously venomous, but not so much of an issue at that size (well under a foot). I come from a land down under. I think I might've posted on the first page of the first ER thread, in one of the assorted earlier versions of rmweb. Regularly miss a month or ten lately, just lurk from time to time, but if you feel like sorting through several thousand pages and multiple forum instances I'm sure you'll find my ramblings. It does, but the best way to pronounce most of our longer names is to just mumble them.

Hi dd, feats have been somewhat lacking of late, though I came across this wee beastie while cleaning up the workshop the other day. Apparently the neighbour's dog killed its mum.

Morning dd, and others. If this topic gets much bigger it's going to need its own website. Jury service? I did that once; gave us lunch then brought in a translater for the accused, once she actually knew what she was charged with she plead guilty and we all went home.

1869 - on this page/year in history... the Sydney Railway Company opens the extension of the Main Southern Line from Sydney to Goulburn. Might as well take advantage of the insane number of pages in this thread. *vanishes mysteriously again*

There's a topic? Spelt my name wrong, still heard it though.

Unfortunately, I'm a little too far south (Australia) for nature to help much in the next few months. Oh, I'll take rain too thanks. Early spring and the weather's already in the mid 30s (°C), urgh.

*lurk lurk lurk* Anyone up north care to send some winter down this way?

Just before me.

Late, I prefer to avoid going to bed before dawn if I can.

*lurk lurk lurk*

The rain's stopped, leaving it hot and insanely humid, urgh. Been messing about with a shunting puzzle game the last few days:

Oh yeah, I'm like a rash you just can't get rid of; even if it does disappear for a while occassionally. Been volounteering at the red cross for the past year, so working for money will be a change... just have to see how long I can put up with it.

Woken up mid afternoon with a job offer... then 800% humidity for the rest of the day; don't ever wish you lived in the tropics!

*lurk lurk lurk* Would anyone like some tropical heat? Can take as much as you'd like, I just want winter back!

*lurk lurk lurk*

Good Morning... sort of. The heat here is utterly disgusting, but at least autumn starts tomorrow... hurry up winter!

weather: too bloomin' hot mood: grumpy as a result of the weather

*lurk lurk lurk*

Anyone mind sending me some of this cold? Too bloomin' hot here, could do with a few more months of 'winter'.

*lurk, lurk, lurk*

I drop in for a look and dd's talking about public exposure... Is it not safe to leave you lot alone at all? On the subject of weather, we've had more rain in the past 12 hours here, than in any other 12 hour period for the past 100 and something years. It's a bit damp, but the ducks are liking it.

Morning all, nice day today, sunny but not too hot. Of course it did rain for a bit... just as I was walking up the shops, and stopped raining when I got home. Should really make a start on crossing Vees for the layout sometime soon.
