tigerburnie Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Evening all, suns out now, not seen much of it all day, but then I was in the loft for a few hours, finally dismantled the old layout and most of the parts to be recycled are cleaned and ready for installation, just need a nice day so that I can finish clearing out the old summer house of those "useful" items I've had for decades in some cases(what I thought some of them would ever have been used for who knows)). Then there's stuff bought for our old house that never got fitted, which includes 3 brass port holes from a sunken trawler(don't ask) I can hardly put them in the post so ebay is out of the question lol. 14 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it that appropriate amendments were made to your will and that the little grass now inherits your overdraft. Jamie 3 15 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post New Haven Neil Posted June 8, 2019 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2019 Evening. Quiet day, recovering from TT week. Or TT week rain more truthfully. Did some planning on the O Gauge. Track plan sort of there, need to try to make it less parallel to the board front now. 19 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently 12C and I've turned the heating on. We had quite a bit of rain here last night and I was a bit concerned about the fawn but it's not there now. Mother deer must have collected it. It's quite normal for deer to leave newborns while they go off and forage. Some people think the fawns have been abandoned and intervene. Not a good idea. 15 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted June 8, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 8, 2019 Evening all from Estuary-Land. It was a bit nippy last night, so nippy that the central heating kicked in this morning. Forecast is that its going to be even cooler tonight so I expect the heating to start any time now. Looks as if the weather wont get any better until next weekend, wet and windy till then. 7 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cottage at the top of the cliff appeared in one of the tv adaptations of a Miss Marple story I think. Anyway good evening all. Went to bed last hight and it was pouring with rain outside, got up this morning and it was still pouring with rain. But fortunately it had stopped by the time I departed for the mini show at Knowl Hill although regrettably as I drove past the important place nearby there was a large crowd going into Flic's Café so I had to settle for a cheese and pickle roll at the show and a quite good cup of tea. Reasonable mix of layouts but not many of them as it is a smallish hall, best on show was 'Earls Court' which although operationally boring features some excellent scenic touches and some very interesting rolling stock. Home before 12.00 after my first ever almost non-stop navigation of this week's Prime Minister's home village, only halt was at the traffic lights for the narrow bridge over the river, usually the queue for the light is several hundred yards long. The weather was good enough this afternoon to visit a local NT property where we very much enjoy the walled garden -- a wonderful mix of anything and everything with flowers, various, planted among the veg. We also visited their Cow Shed Café which we found was absolutely consistent with previous visits - aimless meanderings of muttering staff and less than inspiring food; it was far better when volunteer ladies ran the old café offering home made cakes. I suspect the past residents of the cow shed did rather better than the new ones when it came to a square meal.. Tomorrow should at last see the man here to deal with the fence repair - I hope! Enjoy the rest of your evening. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dave Hunt Posted June 8, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 8, 2019 Today it's been raining. Then for a while it rained before starting to rain again. It's now dark outside and all the doors and windows are closed so I don't know whether it's raining again. Tomorrow it might not rain until afternoon then for most of next week it's forecast to rain. Looks like I may have to spend some time indoors - the workshop is probably a good place. Wonder if SWMBO will agree? Nothing much else to report ..... oh, except did I mention it rained? Goodnight everyone. Dave 7 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted June 8, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Not much cricket played around here today due to precipitation. Her indoors scored a game which did come to a successful conclusion. Tomorrow involves a journey down the M1 to the circular car park (otherwise known as the M25). Hopefully some of the journey won't involve driving in rain. Sleep well and Goodnight! Baz Edited June 8, 2019 by Barry O Missing word 13 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted June 8, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Good evening everyone It was raining when I woke up It was raining when I got up. It was raining whilst I had breakfast. It was raining when I had muggertea No2. It was raining when I went to the workshop. It was raining when I came back in for dinner. It was raining when I went back to the workshop after dinner. It was raining when I came back in for tea. It STOPPED raining at around 6:00 this evening. I didn’t bother watering the plants today. By the time I’d finished my second muggertea, it was getting on for midday, so I didn’t get an awful lot done this morning. I had every intention of doing some modelling this afternoon, but I ended up spending most of the time, putting some recently purchased MERG items away as well as a few others. However, I did manage an hour or so this afternoon though, but again I got side tracked and ended up making a few power leads for my ‘breadboard’, as used to test electronic circuits. This is yet another item I thought was too good to go in the skip when they were clearing out one of the old workshops. I’m hoping to use it to test a couple of circuits. I’ve tested them using a computer program (crocodile clips) and they work on that. I just haven’t actually tested them for real. I just need to print off the circuit diagram so I can have a play. Goodnight all. Edited June 9, 2019 by BSW01 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightengine Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 In Teignmouth today it has mostly been sunny & dry. I heard the A4 pass through this eve enroute from somewhere. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted June 8, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 8, 2019 My modelling skills have been useful again. Aditi was a bit tired when cleaning the fridge and smashed a couple of shelf supports (“I didn’t pull them very hard really”) . I have ordered new ones via eBay but have rebuilt the brackets using epoxy putty. The new freezer seems fine. It is very quiet except when it beeps to inform you it isn’t cold enough. If it doesn’t rain tomorrow I have been given the task of moving our middle sizzled shed so it can be treated. It seems that rain is forecast but not until the afternoon.

RMweb Premium TheQ Posted June 9, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Mooring Awl, Five hours sleep with a couple of wake up and turn overs, then an hour on the sofa before brown eyes demanded a patrol. It's a cloudless sky out there, but the ground is very damp. I'm intending to work on the boat today, cutting off some minor pieces left over from its former layout, a reduction in height by a foot of the tabernacle as it was designed for the old mast, then preparing the cockpit sides for the final reinforcement. I may have to do some drying out as its current tarpaulin is getting ragged. Time too... Think about making a bacon butty..

Popular Post AndyID Posted June 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2019 Tomorrow, if I feel strong enough, my neighbor and I will launch my boat. I thought I had paid the 2019 license back at the beginning of the year but it turned out I had not so I had to run into the DMV yesterday to renew it. The local DMV (department of motor vehicles) used to be really quiet but now that so many people have moved into the area the queues are getting rather ugly. While I was there I realized I've owned the boat for twenty years. My right knee has come out in sympathy with GDB's knee. Whether this will put the kibosh on my skiing plans this year remains to be seen. My wrist is pretty much fully recovered now but the fracture seems to have triggered arthritis in my fingers, but I think I'll still be able to grip a ski pole. This getting old lark is interesting but it certainly beats the alternative. Carpe Diem! 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
