Having a serious case of depression. Feel like crap and want to burst into tears. Not a nice feeling. All work related.

Weird day today. Turned up for work 0600 to find out I actually had got the day off I applied for, returned home to discover someone had nicked my house name plate. Either tatters or someone thought it actually was a real totem. Been struggling with a difficult model all day and now my stepdaughter and her mother have just had a pointless row over the usual nothing so everyones in a bit of a grump. Telford had better be good tomorrow....

Just going into the workshop to start casting LMS coach buffers, wish me luck.....

You go through all the trouble to include things like directional lighting, independently controlled tail lights, cab lights etc. and then the daft piece of logic comes along - you put a driver in one cab!!! Urghh do you'll know how disgusting it looks when models are running backwards??? Just keep those "non-human like" drivers as a spare for buyers to fit!!

Work, golf (won my match), work, family, modelling/watching Commy Games = a good day

A fine warm afternoon in the Sunny North. Time for some "3 before 8" and a beer...
