RMweb Premium Dave Hunt Posted April 18, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 18, 2019 Everyone else in the house has gone to bed and I'm left in the living room with Vaughan Williams on the CD machine and a glass of Scottish happy water. Bliss......... Night night all. Dave 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the one that you are doing. I would also do the internal walls of the pit and making sure that the table stil rotates without tight spots.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 18, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) First ride on my bike last night since August - a steady 9 miles and no after effects Golf was played today. Reasonably Ok - at least the elbow stood up to it. (There are three more rounds scheduled in the next 6 days) The afternoon was a trip to work to bid farewell to my "apprentice". The grand garage/shed clearance continues. I tidied the garage a couple of weeks back to make room for stuff for the shed that goes through a two-stage process. As it gets transferred to the garage, I do a first pass and throw away stuff that isn't wanted. When it goes back in the shed, I do a second throw out after having a day or two to work out if I really need it or not. The plan at the end of this is to make room for a new l&yout project in the shed. Good Friday promises a lie-in and hopefully completion of the big tidy up. Suitable shelf brackets have been bought for the plan and the basic woodwork has already been completed. There will be a trip on Monday that will take two hours or so to a place with the same name that I can get to with a 2 minute car journey. Have a good Easter weekend folks.

RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted April 18, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 18, 2019 Good evening everyone The Trafford Centre wasn’t as busy as I thought it would be, maybe everyone was having a lie-in. Once I’d got back with the shopping at put it all away I made a the base of the cheesecake for tomorrow. After dinner I made the filling, I had a new idea for the flavour and so made a marbled white and dark chocolate with a drizzled caramel topping. It’s too early to tell if the marbling effect has worked, I’ll see if it’s worked when it’s cut tomorrow. Goodnight all 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium TheQ Posted April 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 19, 2019 Mooring Awl, inner Temple hare. A terrible nights lack of sleep. I first awoke after half an hour, after an hour more awake I read another chapter of the current book. Then more lying awake eventually I got away for maybe 3hours. Then awake again.. Since then I've been getting bored watching TV. SWMBOs brother and wife will probably arrive Saturday evening from Shaw as he's working up to Saturday lunchtime . So I'll be garage building today, Saturday morning will be shopping with SWMBO probably in GY which will be a comparatively early start to avoid the grockles. There are 30 more blocks in the back of the landrover, with another 20stacked up. I'm not sure that's enough yet for the garage foundations. I suspect my back will be aching later. Ben has been sat looking at me, saying I should be getting ready for work.. However I'm going to roll. Over and try for more sleep... 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisf Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Good morning one and all Yesterday I received a very kind and thoughtful present, quite out of the blue. It is a fridge magnet with a picture of Napoleon Bonaparte on horseback and commemorates his exile on St Helena between 1815 and 1821. The sender is my good friend Nicky, a fellow aficionado of the now sadly disbanded group Strawhead, at one of whose concerts we met quite a long time ago. They performed “popular music of the olden time” and their repertoire included several songs about Boney and his exploits. It is no secret that I was heartbroken when they split and I have not been able to bring myself to listen to their musical legacy in over five years. Nicky is a remarkable young lady and what more remarkable feat could there be than to visit St Helena in the course of her work?! Beside this, my visit to Pendon today pales into insignificance. I’m still going though. For the rest of the weekend I will be staying with my cousin 88C and his wife in Nottinghamshire, though don’t be surprised to see me and him at York on Sunday. For a numberof reasons the timing of this break could not be better. I shall move among you again on Tuesday. Tony S, I don’t go out of my way to hear grunge rock or classic American tunes! A lot of what I discover is pure serendipity. Jim’s rendition of Paul Simon’s “America”, I should have said yesterday, was flawed in that he accompanied himself on his late father’s concertina which he has not yet mastered and chose a key that was out of his comfort zone. The important thing is that he had the idea, just as someone discovered that Jona Lewie’s “Stop the Cavalry” could have been designed as a morris tune. I suspect that we shall return to this topic. Best wishes to all Chris 15 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDMJ Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Good morning (other times-of-day are available as appropriate) I thought I'd be clever this morning and clicked the 'View New Content' link at the top of the page. I located the last post to this thread and noted that the link shewed as 'https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/229-early-risers/?view=getnewpost '; this looks promising, I thought, so I bookmarked and clicked it to end up at .......... post 1 of this thread!

RMweb Premium Popular Post jamie92208 Posted April 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) Just a couple from today. Breakfast was taken at circular quay. A lot cheaper Than the hotel and with a better view. This was the view just outside the retaurant while we waited for aferry to the zoo. I thought that the maritime lovers among us would like this. A block of flats on the left with a bunwkering vessel alongside, a bulk carrier, the NS AFRICA, coming i der the bridge and several feŕies. Then it was over to the zoo. I did see that there was a Pygmy Hippo on display and wondered if Richards ofspring was moonlighting. However there was no sign. There was however another local that apparently likes to dig and lie i muddy hollows to keep cool. Perhaps it's callead Hoppy Hippo Jamie Edited April 19, 2019 by jamie92208 14 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted April 19, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) Good morning all, The sun is shining brightly here and a fine, dry and warm day is promised by those who know about these things. The Boss brought me tea in bed earlier which is ominous to say the least. She has a huge amount of food preparation to do to cater for the various dietary requirements of our guests today. It may be that she will call upon me for assistance so I expect to shortly hear phrases such as "Will you get out from under my feet?" along with "Stop getting in the way and interfering" coupled with "Can't you go somewhere else and find something useful to do?" I will obviously help her in any way that I can. Have a good one, H.I.N Drance Edited April 19, 2019 by grandadbob 3 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The zoo was excellent and the only animal tha was on my to see list, that We missed was The Tasmanian Devil. Tomorrow it's use the Opal again to do Watson's bay by ferry then bus to Bondi beach and back to the city. I might sneak a ride on a train if I'm a good boy. This morni g's breakfast had a good view.

A lovely sunny morning here in North Hippoland with muggercoffee being consumed before joining the rest of the mob and taking them all on a day out - I can hear a high-powered meeting going on to decide where so undoubtedly I will be informed of the outcome in due course.

RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted April 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 19, 2019 Good morning everyone The sun is shining and the sky is blue and not many clouds about either. Sheila is getting herself ready for her trip to the hairdressers. This is a long standing appointment and she did offer to cancel or change it, but to said “no carry on, it leaves me with an empty kitchen!” Once she’s gone, I’ll walk to the butchers and pick up the weekly meat rations and the items I’ve ordered for today. Once back home, I’ll make a start on prepping the food for this afternoon. Enjoy the day folks. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do prefer to be allowed to perform in the catering area without let or hindrance! 11 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
