Like either St Pancras or Trent Junction for me. Though I do have the space now but probably not enough time. Anyway we'll all be in the naughty corner soon. Better not tell the owner of the awl, or her Hippo shaped acolytes, or should they be Hippolites. Jamie 2 5 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted August 10, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 10, 2019 Evening all! Cricket lasted 9.3 overs before the monsoon arrived. Very good tea provided though. I think the awl owner may be busy at the moment so... BEHAVE YOURSELVES! She has awl seeing eyes! TTFN Baz 6 3 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post Dave Hunt Posted August 10, 2019 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2019 It looks as though the Isle of Trackshackshire was lucky today compared with much of the UK. By late morning it was dry so Mrs. Blackeye and I took the train to Castletown. Motive power was a gleaming little Beyer-Peacock 2-4-0. After a nice lunch at a place called Leonardo's we pressed on to Port Erin but by 1600 it had started to rain again so we came back to Douglas behind the Dubs 0-6-0. Throughout, SWMBO managed to stay upright although her arm is still very painful. She's just finished watching Casualty but whether that was for entertainment value or because she now feels some affinity with it I'm not sure. I hope that the severe weather abates and that all ERs manage to avoid the worst effects. Have a peaceful night. Dave 17 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moon, Saturn and Jupiter should all appear quite close to each other tonight. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted August 10, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 10, 2019 Reality check. This is mid-August. I am told there was football today. I even encountered some stripey-shirt wearing drunken-chanting persons suggesting this was in fact fact. Tomorrow there seems to be egg-chasing up the road. What ever happened to these things being winter sports? That's just the old git in me coming out. For true purgatory try the RAH for Mahler 4 tomorrow . Dear old Mahler is not my muggertee at all. But then I have an interest in Stravinsky, Sibelius and Saent-Saens which aren't necessarily loved by all Promenaders nor other music fans. On that night and with the wind setting slowly in the west I bid you all a good night. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted August 10, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 10, 2019 Evening awl Despite this morning’s shopping trip to the Trafford Centre, it’s been quite an enjoyable day. Ava helped Sheila get a few Christmas presents for Charlie and gave Sheila some ideas of what she would like too. Once home we had a drink then Ava and I had pancakes for dinner, which ALWAYS goes down well. After dinner Ava and Sheila sat down and watched a film whilst I read the latest edition of BRM which dropped on the door mat just after dinner. Vickie and Ian called to pick Ava up on their way to go shopping and stopped for a drink. After they’d left, I made a large pan of chilli for tea, what wasn’t eaten was decanted into small containers and put in the freezer once it had cooled down. The evening was then rounded off with a nice bottle of chilled rosé. Goodnight awl. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted August 11, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 11, 2019 We set off for the Highland Games this morning. The Lord Lyon is honorary chieftain and I though I might ask some questions. But when we got there I found the senior's prices were $30 (each) and my Scottishness kicked in so we came back and loaded all the cleaned stuff back in the motorhome and took it off to storage. 3 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
