Morning all, still feeling a bit under the weather - went to bed around 2pm - woke at 6 this morning. ! Not had chance yet to go back over the last few pages, Lets hope we all have a good day? Trev

Morning all, Pinch-Punch, White Rabbits , for it is another month! Hope your days go well Trev.

Dont ask why I'm still up at this hour....long story,,,, 'Night all Trev

Morning all, A bad day for me yesterday..........probably knock on from Wednesdays food-less and almost drink-less -so as I felt so rough (suspect a touch of heat stroke) I came home at 1:30 --- slept through till seven , made a cup of tea - went back to bed, then around 2 am woke up starving so had yesterdays lunch time sandwich! back to sleep till 7:30 now still not a 100% but getting there. Lets hope we all have a safe weekend? Trev.

Good morning one & all, it's POETS day (in case anyone forgot!) . As to snow driving - dad let me have a go in the spring of '63....(well only cause he'd got the car [1954 Morris Oxford] stuck!) I a lot of driving on motorway haul roads in the late sixties ..hard packed wet chalk is just as slippy as black ice!... So whatever you're up to today try to stay safe. Trev

Evening all, Warra couple of days thats has been yesterday mornings flight should have been at o7:45 but was but back during the night to 10:45 ....eventually we took of at 12:30.. (it's only 50 minutes in the air - but around 10 hours by road! That meant of course that we couldnt get the three site vists in yesterday , so we arranged to stop the night do the other two visits this morning and come back on the 12:30pm......guess what? During the night that was changed to 3:35 this afternoon....But of course I had not taken overnight bag...but at least the hotel has one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in and a Power-shower. I've just seen the UK's weather -- I hope every one is staying safe & warm. Not had chance to back through the postings yet, so congrats, commiserations & get wellsoon to all those effected with seasonal (& other ) ailments, Trev.

Morning all, Yesterday was another day surrounded by fools & ijects! - to many to list, but here's one classic (10:30am)- "are you on way to X's site to do the survey?" No 'cause you've not sent me the address & contact details -------- silence on the end of the phone! Now I'm supposed to be flying to the Eastern part of the country today...flight was due at 07:45...got a message now that it's been delayed until 10:40! Well at least I got told this time! Smiffy's fire place reminds me of a modeling commission I got many years ago. Small company near me made fire place from Bath stone, they made one of Box tunnel and wanted a broad gauge loco to place in it for their displays. This thing was big ! If I recall correctly it was to 1:12 scale. (2-2-2). Ok enough hump day rambling from me, lets hope those & their spouses with ailments soon recover? Try and be good, Trev. PS: I know how to make snow yellow .....you just ......

Morning, lets hope those suffering with various ailments are soon on the road to recovery? At the moment it's 28C & 92% humidity here....though I seemed to have slept fairly well. Oh well lets see what this day brings? Trev.

Wara day I had - some stooopid politico decided to have a "Political Rally"without any fore warning at the end of the street our office is in - (elections here next Month 14 & 21) so the main road was blocked.....so of course every one was trying the back streets.....(that is being polite about them !) - I guess you've seen photos of shanty town streets---- just like that...normal journey time to office is 15 - 40 minutes - today 3 minutes short of three hours! At one point I could have walked to the office but that was not deemed safe...as these political meetings can turn violent very quickly . Its not unknown for "Area Boys" (unemployed young men) to attack these meetings - as they are on the payroll of the opposing parties......so by the time I got to the office I was not in the best of moods.... At least we got some warning of were tomorrows meets are going to be. Of course at knock off time they just finished so roads were packed again! Dunno whats up with the font on here tonight..... Time for my fresh fruit salad , try and be good this evening, Trev.

Good Morning all & welcome to another Monday, congrats to Martin (and of course Mrs Martin!). Lets hope everyone's day goes to plan............. Trev.

Good morning all, bad might sleep for me full of weird dreams - at least one of which involved Indian railway trains --- and carnivorous cows! Very unusual for me to dream at all, even more unusual to remember any details And I didn't get any modeling done yesterday either....will try and remedy that this afternoon. Try and make the most of your day, Trev.

Good Afternoon all, was the site ready - of course not ! "So when are you bringing the crane?" When you've cleared the site (I have to get that big blue box into the building in the background all 30 tonnes of it) so I can bring the crane -"well we're going to clear it" - that's what you said two weeks ago........end of rant! Onto electrics of the domestic sort, the last house we bought had been owned by a CEGB engineer. The kitchen walls had been covered in thin tongue & groove pine paneling. Well the ex decided she wanted new kitchen units and tiled walls, so off comes the wall covering only to find that power cables to various 13a double sockets (the flat grey twin & earth) had been held in place by nails driven through the insulation. Ok now time for an afternoon nap & maybe some modelling, be good, Trev

Good morning all, Seems like some good news on ER's this morning from Mal & Pete? Me I'm off to work to check a couple of sites and see who's being telling untruths...one we have to install a 30 tonne boiler which means the client has to do an amount of ground work first - as of yesterday it wasn't done..... .....so what ever your day brings may it be successful & all that you wish for? Trev

Morning all, Yup it's POETS day again . though I have a sneaky suspicion that I'll be working tomorrow.... Whatever you're up to, try and make the best of it, Trev.

Back again, found this tree in bloom today just out side one of our sites. (also sending full size pics to GF in lieu of flowers - dont worry she will get some real ones when she gets back to BC) Trev
