RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted October 26, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2014 Good morning all, Yes Dom - go for it! Dry but dull start and will be mainly cloudy with some sunny periods - Generally mild with some brisk southwesterly winds. Extra hour in bed has done me no good at all. Tea taken to Her Lady Bossness who in return has offered an unhealthy breakfast which I think will do me lots of good. Well it'll make me feel better. Have a good one, Bob. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelintrev Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Good morning all, Busy day yesterday so no afternoon snooze for me! Not to hot either as we had a double dose of tropical rain for some hours - the fairly steady rain for most of the rest of the day. Bit overcast at the moment and only 25c! (how am I going to cope with the UK in November?) Still what ever you are up to today - try and make the best of it, Trev. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted October 26, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2014 The Romans are known to have had Nubian soldiers stationed on Hadrian's Wall. Very few Roman Soldiers came from Rome itself or for that matter even Italy. Veni, Vidi, Velcro - I came, I saw, I stuck around Mornin all Apparently I was selected to make a cup of tea this morning - as there's only Jill and I here I sense a "fix" Gutter to clean out soon - have a good day all 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy2 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Morning all. Good night's sleep, actually acting like a grown-up and going to bed when you are tired works wonders! Day indoors today. I'll be sorting out how to use Julie's Silhouette cutter. It looks so simple that I keep thinking I've missed something! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted October 26, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 26, 2014 Morning all from a grey and breezy village north of Ikea. Woke at some stupid time (by the reset clock) so came down, read for a bit, had my breakfast and have now finished the ironing before the rest of the house have stirred. This afternoon the plan is to go to the Leeds show and have a look round before dismantling the LTHS stand. Jamie 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killybegs Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Still wet and windy this morning but nice to have an extra hour in bed. The sea is getting really 'angry' now and is taking it out on the beach, seaweed and sand piled everywhere and lots of nasty things tossed up from the depths for the dogs to roll in/eat. Finally finished slating the warehouse yesterday, just the ridge tiles to tidy up before it gets a coat of paint. Breakfast next, then last night's washing up, guess who's away at the moment!

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 26, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2014 Morning all, Grey & miserable looking outside but no rain promised for today so hopefully it will turn out better than it looks. And oddly like Dick (Smiffy) I also tried the idea of going to bed when I felt tired last night - maybe it will catch on. So not sure what is planned for today but it's been hinted that it will involve the garden as not all the new plants were planted yesterday. Have a nice day one and all. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coombe Barton Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Coldish, greyish, hint of blue? No, it's gone. Tools now in newly labelled boxes rather than all over the workbench so I stand a chance of finding them again. Domestically it got done yesterday, so here's hoping for something I need to do. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr Giffard LSWR 1951-71 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Mornin' all, Overcast grey start in the Staffs Moorlands...server duties beckon in church this morning, wonder which priest we'll have today?...enjoyed the re-run of an early Sherlock last night...a few night shifts to negotiate this week before a week off, a little more modelling on the horizon. Enjoy whatever you do Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Jock, Whilst not unexpected still stunned by Jack’s death. He is receiving more kudos for his musical life over here (USA) right now than in his own country, rightly so. He’ll be truly recognized by Scotland and the UK for his contribution to our culture in the future, no doubt. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted October 26, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2014 Computer playing silly beggars and won't start. Pygmy hippo departed for a week of maintenance work at Cornel scout centre near Llanrwst. Peace reigns! Bannister and spindle stripping concludes this morning (phrase the Lord) and I can then start on the (re)painting. This afternoon will see the delayed onion planting take place and the tying up of the brocolli plants. Daughter comes home tomorrow, so an excuse for cake to be made, and more importantly, consumed. The Obergrumpenfuhrer is now planning a batch of cardamom and rose flavoured apple jelly, so I'm going to hide before I am made responsible for bringing the cardamoms down to dust.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted October 26, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2014 Morning all. Nothing exciting planned today. I may be required to attach a hanging basket to the bracket I put up last week. Putting the new bracket up was messy as I noticed how much moss was in the garage gutters. Previously I have removed moss when it was baked dry in the summer. This was very wet and squidgy. Tony 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted October 26, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2014 My favourite job, Tony. I love the feel of cold, dirty, water running down my arm and mud in my eyes. I have been advised to install hedgehogs in my gutters. This may need some research on Google. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 My longest ladder just reaches the gutter so I have to work blind. I assume the hedgehog is to prevent leaves clogging the downpipe - a problem here with all the trees. (Some of the pine needles are very painful under fingernails!).

Coombe Barton Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I have been advised to install hedgehogs in my gutters. This may need some research on Google. Been looking at these, Tony. Here's one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hedgehog-Gutter-Guard-Leaf-Filter/dp/B0047UEC0S but looking where I can see them rather than just having them turn up.

Coombe Barton Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 One of our issues is that the neighbour's gutters drain into ours, so we get all their leaf and moss cr@p as well. So it'll have to be a joint effort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted October 26, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 26, 2014 Morning all, off to the 'do' at Mangapps shortly. Weather is a bit overcast but dry, wooly jumper donned just in case. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted October 26, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) One of our issues is that the neighbour's gutters drain into ours, so we get all their leaf and moss cr@p as well. So it'll have to be a joint effort. Ours is the other way round so we drain into hers and it backs up and ours overflows. Guess who then sorts it out!

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted October 26, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2014 Just had a call from Steve with good and not quite so good news. He'd applied for loads of tickets for the Rugby World Cup next year and has got tickets for 3 games. Not so good is that no England games but has got Ireland v Italy , NZ v Argentina & NZ v Namibia. I'm glad to say that he has offered to take his Aged Parent with him! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) I've been hankering to model a Zoo in 00 and keeping an eye on the Chinese toy animals that appear everywhere. Packets are sold in which the animals are all different scales and 00 sizes are quite rare. However, I've managed to find a few over time which then need repainting from the strange colours they provide. From memory there are Elephants, Hippos, Rhinos, Giraffes, Crocodiles and Camels - enough to get started. Here's five minutes with a small brush on a Giraffe: Magnified to this size hasn't done it any favours!

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted October 26, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 26, 2014 Or what about an E.424? That's a loco I'm in love with since the olden trainset days of my youth (as I had an ancient Märklin model of it)... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
