RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted April 6, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 6, 2015 Morning from a sunny York. A good time had in a number of hostelries finishing in the York Tap and as it was still reasonably warm we sat on the platform drinking area. We had the bio as train go pass with a GBRF 66 whilst the covered steel wagons went north the other side of it( didn't see what was on the point). This morning we head to Birmingham then hopefully get a 68 push pull service to Marylebone. Now to work out which services they will be on today. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted April 6, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Morning all. There appears to be some frost on the shed roof but I don't think it will take long to clear. I suspect it won't be a good day for the deck chair business in Southend. I don't think the beach at Canvey has similar services. We will be going round the NE section of the M25 to have lunch with MiL. Aditi's sister said she may call in later this afternoon. Matthew returns from his conference today. He won't be coming back to Benfleet though, he will stay in London as a friend from Canada will be staying with him for a few days.

Ashcombe Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Latest news from the.... er ..... front!! The catheter was removed at 0625 without too much discomfort. Ian is taking Paracetamol, mainly to reduce the symptoms of the cold that I brought with me. I thought it only fair to share it with him!! Enjoy the bonk holiday, as Ian would say! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordon s Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Morning guys... Today I'll be up to my neck in plastic pipe and solvent cement. Hard landscaping is all done and 'hot tub' in place. Just a whole stack of 1.5", 3" and 4" pipework to cut and glue. Pond has taken a whole new green look with no filtration for weeks and fish cannot be seen more than a few inches down. Hopefully if I can get the new kit up and running today, gin clear water will appear in a week or less. Interesting bit on Pete Waterman's loco sale on BBC this morning with a few glimpses of Leamington Spa. Enjoy Bank Holiday Monday!

Tassie Tex Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Mornin to ya, I had to note the amount of likes I received yesterday about Tasmania. If! some of you would like to hear more about my backyard? or would like to ask a question, please press the thanks button. It's only been a couple of weeks since I've joined ER and I must say, even though it's not face to face I'm seeing a lot of very interesting personalities in each and every one of you. I'll tell what I do find amusing, a lot don't use a profile picture of one's self. So, when going through layouts, exhibitions, etc you see a photo of one of the members and they look nothing like how you perceive them to look. (not in a scary sense) It all adds an air of mystery to the forum but how doe's one get on when you are approached by a fellow member, you don't know his real name or what he looks like and comes along and says, G'day Tex, I'm Graham. I think my first thought would be, "Who The Bloody Hell are You", or how about (if I may use your tag without infringement) 1216 025 I'd still be puzzled?. Has anybody had this happen to them. "I think this would be an embarrassing situation" It was just a thought, catch up a little later, regards and health to all, Tex.

Simon G Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Morning all from St Neots. Last two days have been partly spent chipping out old concrete supports for fence posts, so that we can install new posts and concrete them in - chipping concretre out without the right tools is a long & arduous process, so the back and knees are now suffering. If No 1 son had thought about this earlier, I could have brought some heavier equipment with me for the task. Today is a day off from fence work, so a trip to Ickworth at Bury St Edmunds is planned. It is a National Trust spot we havent been to before. Lovely & sunny here just now, but I dont think it will remain that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDolfelin Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Interesting bit on Pete Waterman's loco sale on BBC this morning with a few glimpses of Leamington Spa. I saw that, Gordon.

Popular Post Killybegs Posted April 6, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Woke to a clear blue sky this morning, just a hint of frost on the grass. Two hours later and the temperature is already into double figures. Could be another belter today. Over breakfast I think I heard Steph say it was a good day to get the Kayaks out. All this exercise! Nice misty photos Dave. There was a little left in the more shady spots this morning .......................... but elsewhere it was like this .............................................

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted April 6, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 6, 2015 Morning all from a bright and sunny if rather cool Estuary-Land. Glad to hear that Dudders is on the mend, if my dad's experience is anything to go by I would suggest keeping the liquid intake down after about 8 pm if he wants a good nights rest. On the subject of noisy birds, since I had the new combi boiler installed the fireplace is now redundant and is now boarded up but the chimney liner seems to act as an amplifier and a pigeon has taken to sitting on the cowl and making his love calls, it sounds as if the room is full of pigeons. I just caught the item about Pete Waterman this morning, nice shots of his layout. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post emt_911 Posted April 6, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2015 Morning all from a bright and warm South East Devon coast.

DDolfelin Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Skip this - it's boring: I use 2 x 18v battery power drills (one for screws and the other for various bits). They cost quite a lot to buy but are getting old now. One packed up altogether so I was expecting a trip to ScrewUp. Over coffee this morning I disassembled it and cleaned contacts etc., without any expectation of success. Result! It roared into life!!! The downside is I have jobs to do. Carry on. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 6, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 6, 2015 Morning all ffom east of Leeds on a train to York. The sun is shining so I might walk to York ex instead of catching the bus. I do wonder if Tex's comments referring to pictures has anything to do with the last one I posted of myself............ Damn, I look good in lycra. Cheers, Mick 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted April 6, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 6, 2015 Stayed in this Park Inn a few times and so far it's been fine. I remember staying in a Travelodge in Liverpool when the alarm went off in the early hours. The fire brigade found a couple of staggers who had brought a toaster with them for doing an after drinking snack!!! That's it - used to be the Viking in one of its previous incarnations. Alas it was one of York's hotels which seemed to gradually slide down the scale as management, and name, changed - good to see that it's been rescued.
