    It really doesn't feel like I've been off for two whole weeks

  2. Coombe Barton

    has been waiting for the quiz to appear - and then I realised ...

      No excuse now John?

    2. Coombe Barton

      And already have already fouled something up - three times!

  3. Coombe Barton

    All progress on the lever frame stopped because of Andy's feindish quiz

      The man seems dedicated to keep us from modelling :-)

      computer away for upgrade for a couple of days, so when I could I tried Andy's quiz. got grief from SWMBO by staying up till all hours determined to get an answer to at least one question! Reporting total failure! and prolonged sojourn in dog-house!

    SWMBO gets worried when I'm cooking and she hears the word "Oops!"

    1. halfwit

      halfwit

      Not worried enough to order a takeout though?

    2. Coombe Barton

      Coombe Barton

      "Oops" means that I've made a mess. "Arrrggghhhhh!" means that it's takeaway time.

  5. Coombe Barton

    Much Fettling in the Marsh - still buildng the Scalefour Lever Frame.

  6. Coombe Barton

    Just spent ten minutes looking for the Optivisor. And yes, you guessed - wearing it!

      look forward to that.

  8. Coombe Barton

    Is thinking of installing an under-workbench lighting system. Spending enough time down there looking for bits I've dropped.

      Perhaps we should all just work on the floor...

      If we did, the bloody things would start falling upwards.

    Chris N's avatars seem to be getting decidedly - erm - strange :)

      Yippee - that's the idea! I'm delighted 'cos you've seen nothing yet!

      Thought you were morphing into Salvador Dali.

      even deeper joy, computer exploded

    This year SWMBO and I bought each other silence - I bought her books and she also bought me books!

    1. Pannier Tank

      Pannier Tank

      Same here!

  16. Coombe Barton

    URGENT - West Mids Ambulance Service need 4x4 drivers to get nurses & drugs to patients. Call 01926 310 310 if you can help.

      South West Ambulance service have an agreement with the local Landrover garage to hire out the 2nd hand ones - they just slap a blue light on the top

  18. Coombe Barton

    Ho hum much fun! Four inches of snow overnight. Dogs loving it. Good job we're going nowhere today.

  19. Coombe Barton

    is off Christmas shopping today - she's finally told me what she'd like - she'd be saying "surprise me" - I'd say "Boo!"

      Mine gives me a list weeks in advance.

  20. Coombe Barton

    is on low-voltage duty - stringing LED lights round outside trees. We don't like putting up decs too early :)

      And rightly so.

  21. Coombe Barton

    Tree up, just waiting to be lit. Ours is red - don't like the current fashion for cold blue.

  22. Coombe Barton

    According to SWMBO, she's just put the Doodahs under the Wotsit. If you find the English Language could you please return it to this house?

    1. Coombe Barton

      Coombe Barton

      But according to SWMBO, she knew what she meant!

    2. Pennine MC

      Pennine MC

      Ah yes. My wife deals with 'things'. If she can't think of the word, it's 'that thing'

  23. Coombe Barton

    Now off until next year!!!!!

  24. Coombe Barton

    is taking the rest of the year off!

  25. Coombe Barton

    Just seen the weather forecast - wondering how much modelling goodies I can sneak into the house so that I don't get bored over Christmas and the new Year?
