RMweb Premium AndyB Posted May 10, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) I never knew the true meaning of "System Integrator" until today, in spite of many years working in the defence industry. I get it that one hospital needs the next of kind to pass on test results to the next. Or lack of. But seriously. Is it needed between two colleagues on the same ward? Quite tired now - it's been a busy week. Edited May 10, 2019 by AndyB 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerburnie Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Evening all, had one of those days where pretty much anything I tried/planned to do failed and the last minute, "oh I'll do that" seemed to work perfectly, but no-one got hurt and the work of preparation for the new roof is still progressing, had a phone call delivery day is next Thursday, not quite a new shed build, but stage one of the new DCC parallel bits of metal project. G'night all. Edited May 11, 2019 by tigerburnie 10 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted May 10, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 10, 2019 Good evening everyone Well I opened my mouth a bit to soon this morning, as when I went out it was starting to rain, thankfully by the time I’d got home, it had stopped and the sun was trying to show itself. However, that didn’t last long, because as we were eating dinner, it started to rain and by mid afternoon it was really chuckinitdarn. It then continued to rain on and off for the rest of the day. Whilst I was out this morning I called at the big orange DIY shed for some supplies. I then called at Asda some some bits and pieces we can’t get at Sainsbury’s, then Costco to put fuel in the car, then to M&S to pick up a click and collect order and finally the butchers, I was out less than 2 hours! I also had a little bit of good news this morning, just after I’d got home the postman delivered a letter informing me that I’ve won £25 on the premium bonds, that’s the second month in a row! Laurence. I’m sorry to hear about the black dog making an appearance, I do hope you are able to kennel him soon. Goodnight all. 13 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post andyram Posted May 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2019 Good evening everyone. I hope today finds you well. I offer good wishes and supportive thoughts to Laurence and his battle with the black dog. If you need a chat you know where I am, the kettle can be on in the shop on any day I am open. Some of you may, or may not have noticed that I have been away from these pages for quite sometime. I have not had much time for RMWeb recently due to a demanding schedule of marking. I need to do it however. Sadly the insurers have decided not to cover the fraud losses so I am now having to make up the losses through other earnings. The issue has left little time for much else and has brought about the reappearance of my own black dog. This weekend is a busy one, but I am aiming to visit the Derby Show on Sunday. If anyone is around please say hello. I am likely to have my dear daughter in tow and will probably be wearing my A2B Model Railways t-shirt. Due to my long absence I am out of touch with many happenings. I send generic good wishes to you all with particular thoughts to John and Sandy. I must catch up on the blog when I get chance. I noted Mal’s passing all those weeks ago and raised a glass at the time to the sad loss of another of our digital friends. Sadly, I read the news elsewhere of the passing of another RMWeb member, Paul Price, recently. He supported my Weston on Trent Show by exhibiting his excellent Foster Street layout a couple of times. Such sad news. Best wishes Andy 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozexpatriate Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 All this talk of rain - I've largely forgotten what it is. Normally Mother's Day (this Sunday in the US) falls on a damp and dreary day. Like many recent days, this one will be dry, sunny and hot. Our last precipitation (more than 0.01") was on April 19th. It feels like late July right now - presently 30°C, if my telephone is to be believed. My car was very hot at 1:00pm, having it parked in the morning sun. It may be delightful weather, but it feels wrong. I turned on the irrigation some days ago and this morning decided to set the thermostat to the cool cycle. Evenings are pleasant and opening windows at night has been sufficient to get to a comfortable enough ambient temperature for sleeping. I don't know if that can happen tonight without mechanical assistance. The AC runs on a profile (warmer during the day and cooler in the evening while I am home). I expect the AC will be running at times during the day. It may seem wasteful to cool the house when I am gone but I am convinced that keeping it a relatively stable temperature is more energy efficient than having the AC have to run flat out after I return home. The house is very well insulated and it takes a lot to shift the thermal mass - one of the challenges of reducing the temperature in the evenings even with a substantial temperature differential (inside to outside) and cross-ventilation. I wanted to install a whole house fan to exchange the air without using the energy required for a compressor, but the builder did not want to do that - he got credit for building "Energy Star" rated homes - that are basically airtight. He was very proud of his 'score' building my home. 10 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post BR60103 Posted May 11, 2019 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2019 Today was our 45th anniversary. We celebrated by having coffee in the morning, she had massage therapy at noon, and we set up for the Opera Group's final party at 3. The party went well and we came in 3rd in the trivia contest (missed the country Parsifal is set in, and some famous person that I'd never heard of's name and something else.) 12 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Kingzance Posted May 11, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 11, 2019 Almost time to leave the efficient, cheap and clean public transport system in Hamburg and experience something much less so as we get home from Gatport Airwick, although the Thameslink service that got us to GWA was not bad even if the seating was somewhat uncomfortable. Must fly (groan admitted!). 6 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A grey start to the day with sunny spells, scattered showers and the possibility of hail and thunder all on the agenda. I will be "shedding" this morning and watching the aforementioned rugby match later this afternoon. Laurence and Andy, put those dogs in the kennel where they belong! Have a good one, Bob.
