living room furniture rolled back, plans rolled out, baseboard design underway.

polyboard baseboard construction underway.

what a rocknoll life. The first night of Glastonbog and I'm at home facing the decision j-72 or conflat tonight

Austerity modelling ago-go. In the spirit of the age of Jeffery Osborne, not the RA Riddles WD designs, its see what the fails box can provide to be cobbled together to provide viable projects. So far I"m down one J-72, but up another J-72 and hopefully a j-94 too when the frames turn up.

Yippee, all hail the Iplayer and Happy Burling-Day to you all

now this is what a 4 day holiday is for..... the management has painted the kitchen and i'm spending the day fiddling with the half-built kits pile and willing it to shrink

nearly finished the proccessing backlog .... soon time to get back to CADing a signalbox, 3 yrs to the day from when i did the site measurements. Another three years and i may have the thing built, or possibly just mocked up (in my head!)

I may consider becoming Welsh: the beer is tastier and doesn't hurt the following day. Plus work keeps exporting me there. Greetings from Llandovery
