RMweb Premium Popular Post southern42 Posted June 17, 2015 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Phew! Just caught up. Congrats, commiserations etc as appropriate though I hope the buttons suffice. Some pics from our weekend break. Heading down to Shropshire, we popped into Llangollen. We took the 1300 to Carrog and saw the completed Chain Bridge at Berwyn on the way back. We used the top car park taking the steps down to the path along the river. To the leftof the old sluice gate you can see the bridge arches. A short distance lower and the weir comes into view. Up early Saturday morning, we waited on Stourbridge platform for 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe on the Whistling Ghost III to Minehead. But first things first, a hearty breakfast (well, I couldn't let the ER discussion go without contributing to it, now, could I?) The rain persisted until we were well south so no more photos until Bristol Temple Mead which I'll try and post tomorrow but for now I'll just say Good night, all.

trisonic Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 What’s a Breakfast Mushroom? Sounds more like a Full American with their ubiquitous Hash Browns...

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted June 17, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 17, 2015 Morning all… Looks like a sunny day beckons. Bit of a frenzy and a trip to A&E last night as Elise had an accident caused by someone opening a car door while she was passing on her bike. Must have hurt like hell but fortunately, it turned out it was nothing worse than a set of contusions, so she's off work for the rest of the week to recover. Better to have had it checked in any case, though! Happy Hump Day, everyone... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted June 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2015 Raining in carlisle this morning, in fact it rained pretty much from low gill all the way through to carlisle on the run up last night, hoping its raining in crewe too as i have had a new lawn laid that needs a water and as i'll be asleep all day i'm not bothered if it buckets down! 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy2 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Morning all, and a fine morning it is here on the Surrey Riviera. There'll be whelks on offer tonight! Went to bed early and finally got a decent night's sleep, except that I woke at dawn... nice to have coffee in the garden smelling the roses and listening to the dawn chorus whilst next-door's bl**dy dog is still asleep. Haven't decided on breakfast, but it won't be the full English - banned by the Digestive Abuse Unit. Possibly a boiled egg and soldiers. Waiting for deliveries today, presents for grandson's birthday. Then 'up in the loft'. Great... Have a good day, all, especially those in travail and difficulty. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted June 17, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 17, 2015 Up early due to her indoors waking up to go pre teaching swimming. Bit grey outside which means I can do some more crust earning today. Have a great Wednesday everyone! Dick, chuck a few whelks this way if there are any going spare please?

Robert Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Morning All, It is another nice sunny morning here today - supposedly it is going to be the hottest day of the week. I have a day of testing to look forward to, with a particularly pedantic colleague - so should be fun! It was great to hear about so many old computers. It is amazing how much the field has advanced in such a short time. trip to A&E last night as Elise had an accident caused by someone opening a car door while she was passing on her bike. Must have hurt like hell but fortunately, it turned out it was nothing worse than a set of contusions, so she's off work for the rest of the week to recover. Better to have had it checked in any case, though! I hope the person concerned has good Haftpflichtversicherung! (Third party insurance - for those who don't speak German) Knocking someone off their bike can cause you a lot of grief in this part of the world. Hope Elise gets well soon. Have a good day everyone... 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted June 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2015 Morning all. Seems like a nice morning. I am building up enthusiasm for the journey to the roadside to deposit my bin bag. Breakfast will be toast (seedy wholemeal) and more tea! Dom, hope Elise is feeling OK this morning. My experiences hitting the road suggest it hurts a bit more the morning after and then improves. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted June 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2015 Morning from a sunny Surrey. Busy evening fitting the second blind. Need to order two more now that I knew w these are suitable. Just he hassle having to drive some distance to collect them from the courier and wait a long time whilst they find the package. Talking of which Parcelfarce tried delivering an EBay purchase (an old Windows Tablet and keyboard) yesterday but as usual they have left it at our post office which is only open normal WHSmith hours with no chance of getting theire for some time and no way of now getting it re delivered etc. So looks like I will have to please with my boss's to let me leave early to get back from the smoke before 17.30. Other tasks last night included re juggling the N scale American stock trays to get more items in. Still some more work to do before loading and heading North tomorrow night for our stop enroute overnight. I keep saying that I mustn't buy any more!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted June 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2015 I thought fly tipping was illegal?No flies in my bin bag! We have a separate food waste container for anything that would attract flies or rodents!Of course the regulations about when and where to place one’s bag are quite complex but we seem to cope! 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashcombe Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 A chance to catch up at last! I'm using an iPad Air, one of my birthday gifts from Ian, and it's great! More convenient and quicker than my laptop and more reliable. My trip to France was rather a whirlwind, being only a week long this time. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my introduction to Race Week, especially the atmosphere in Le Mans city centre and at the circuit. Although I could only stay for the first few hours of the actual race, it has whetted my appetite for future visits. Having a knowledgeable and enthusiastic companion helped, of course! On a more somber note, my aunt's funeral was an inspiring event with rousing hymns (although the organist was slightly overwhelmed by the difficult intro to "Jerusalem"!) heartwarming tributes from various grandchildren and a packed church. A convivial wake followed then we gathered at the family home where we sat in the garden. Luckily, I'd booked into the local Travelodge so no driving afterwards. Bizarrely, given that this was Devizes, I found the noise of the seagulls at night to be a nuisance, a rarity here in Torquay! Thank you for all the supportive and kind messages. Have a good day! 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted June 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Good morning all, Sunshine & blue sky at the moment although possibility of cloud later and rain this evening. I'm waiting in for a parcel which should have been delivered last week, was lost by the courier, replacement has been sent and was supposed to be here yesterday. Needless to say they have been told that I am unimpressed with the (lack of) service so far. Today's task may well be clearing up the powdery mess that was the underlay under the carpet in the small bedroom. I distinctly remember the carpet fitter saying that the particular underlay we used would not crumble over time. He was mistaken!!! Once that is done I may (or may not) start stripping the wallpaper. Have a good one, Bob. P.S. Dom, I hope Elise soon recovers from her accident. Edited June 17, 2015 by grandadbob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've just reminded me that we need to go carpet shopping in Cromer. Deep joy. It's not like I need to be there... nothing I like will make the shortlist anyway...
