andyram Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Morning all. I hope this morning finds you well. Yesterday proved to be a busy and successful start to the first "working week" of the Easter break. Up early to intercept the Avon order I then strolled to the local shop for a newspaper after breakfast. Whilst Sarah (and Amber) busied themselves with sorting the delivery into the various orders I tackled the mountain of washing and then started to construct the Ikea dining chairs. These came with the table I purchased, and built, several weeks ago. Work had prevented me from completing the task. A nice pub lunch broke up the day before the chairs were completed. Later Amber had her swimming lesson. I had not seen her in action for a while and was disappointed with the quality of the lesson she received. In a 30 minute lesson she was allowed only three return "half lengths" of the pool, one star float and two jumps into the water. For much of the time she was stood inactive at the side of the pool. I am not sure how they can justify the £1.10 rise in price next month! In the evening I was out delivering some of those Avon packages before stopping off at my parent's house at the end of my stint. Today's plans revolve around more Avon deliveries. Shortly, we are off to the local church coffee morning. There are so many orders there that Sarah needs my help to take them. She should have been helping the local play group clear out their room prior to a change of location after that. However she received a message last night to say her services are no longer required. Unfortunately, her attempts to rearrange the Tesco delivery have failed and so our plans are now restricted by their afternoon arrival time. It looks like an afternoon of household jobs await. I have already ticked off two this morning - a trip to the shop has resulted in Amber's Easter egg being purchased and smuggled back into the house. I have also renewed my Great Central membership that was long overdue. The Bachmann one may be done later. Enjoy your day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted April 11, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 11, 2017 Morning all, Mrs Stationmaster has duly departed to do some 'community gardening' in the churchyard - which sounds much nicer than their next venue which appears to be either on a road junction or in the field which 'the community' has taken over to prevent building on it and then dedicated to dog walkers (of the sort who appear not to bother with plastic bags). Talking of 'supercars' we appear to be having a little feast of real ones locally (instead of the run-of-the-mill Porsche presence) so one Lamborghini spotted on Saturday plus a second on Sunday and far more amusingly a vehicle parked just round the corner on Sunday and bearing the 100% descriptive numberplate '365 RED'. I'd love to know how much that cost but if you can afford a Ferrari 365 you're not going to worry about the cost of a personalised numberplate are you. Another Modena product was also spotted yesterday evening. Today no doubt the lawn will beckon and I must check that it's not too damp to cut (or do I mean is too damp to cut?) Have a good day one and all. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post New Haven Neil Posted April 11, 2017 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2017 Lurker - the Aston Martin Owners club HQ take a much more relaxed attitude. A fiver to get in, and it is magnificent as a small museum. Friendly and helpful, despite us only being able to afford an A-M Handbag for Mrs H, not a car! Donk enjoyed it too. 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ian Abel Posted April 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2017 They are in a no go zone...just like the rhubarb triangle and the Pontefract cake trees... Baz Let's not forget the Surrey treacle mines, local favourite where I grew up Morning... As expected/predicted, the dawn shows a quite typical April morning in Minnesnowta, though it's not much, we do still average around 2.5 inches of snow in April. Given it was 21 Saturday and has been in the 12-18 range for days last week, none of the snow managed to settle on any paved surfaced. Almost the same image as mid-November and snow was late coming last year. Yes, that means our snow season, even in a pathetic winter, is typically at least 5 months long! Nothing happened, exciting or otherwise yesterday <yawn> Currently +1, cloudy but headed for a high of 11 and partly sunny. Snow will disappear fast. Tally ho... 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiffy2 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Good morning all, D-Day plus 1 Communique from the front. bathroom Assault commenced eventually at 09.00 hrs and a landing was made on the er landing, a beachhead established and supplies were landed. Initial recce showed considerable preparatory work in the form of rubbing down, washing down, making good etc was needed. This was eventually accomplished after about 5 or 6 hours with no casualties although the commander was rather knackered so decided that was enough for one day. Today will see the main assault on the ceilings. Message ends. In other news the sun is shining brightly yet again. Earlier at about 4.30 I saw a really bright star to the SWish. Any ideas? - I think it may have been Jupiter. I had a pleasant surprise yesterday when I received a phone call from the bank of the Black Horse. Like Dick I have banked with them for many years, since 1966 in fact, with never a problem. For the last twenty or more of those years my contact there has been with a lovely lady named Tracy but she has been off from work quite ill for many months. Really pleased to hear her friendly voice on the end of the phone to say that she was better now and back at work. Made my day. Have a good one, Bob. Tracy E? She's great, but I didn't know she'd been ill. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium TheQ Posted April 11, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 11, 2017 Afternoon Awl, SWMBO (aka Sheila) loves tea I hate the stuff, I love coffee Sheila hates the stuff... After a half day at work, i returned home by 11:30, unloaded Harry's railway. Then did a quick hours mowing, with it not having rained for a couple of weeks a surprising amount was mowed. The after a triple S, black tie, dark suit to Harry's funeral. Although i have a black background kilt, black kilt socks and plain black sporran. I would still have stood out at the funeral it was Harry's day not mine.. The funeral was very well attended, with I'd estimate over a hundred there. As well as family, and a good proportion of the village. There were representatives of the model railway club ( most members), the parish council, the sailing club and the darts team. Once Harry had been laid to rest, the vicar wandered off, as had the rest of the family, Harry's younger brother came to the grave and said " goodbye Harry you daft b***er". After which we walked the mile from the C of E to the Methodist hall for tea coffee and snacks with a good chat to every one including the family. It went well. Goodbye Harry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
