gordon s Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Morning all.. Great news that your exams are finally over Jam. Good luck and here's hoping you get the results you want. I am up and about Don, just got overtaken by other issues. It's a beautiful mornig here. Clear blue sky and the morning sun is wonderful... Last few bits of Eastwood 1 went yesterday. Sad, but it had to be done. At least now I have a blank canvas which will certainly help me with the production of Eastwood 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelintrev Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Morning all, bit late on parade this morning, but had a pretty good nights sleep. The rain must have got into the loudspeakers last night as there was not the normal 5:00 am "call to prayer"............ Off into the bush again this morning. Apparently the clients civil contractor has made a "mistake" on one of the dimensions of the new power house, though how much half a meter is going to make to my installation work remains to be seen. (Memo to self: keep your barbed tongue still!) Good luck on your results Jam, now the waiting starts? Have a good un. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 You have an interesting (and possibly exciting) life, Trev. I expect you have some stories to tell. The Nigerian Bush is not exactly a health spa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Morning All, It looks like another lovely morning here. Blue sky, and sunshine. Plus, it is a "bridging day" - the day that links a Bank Holiday to a weekend. So, I've got a day off! Just enjoying a cup of coffee and looking forward to breakfast! Oh dear Trev - I hope the "mistake" isn't too problematic. You cannot, after all, squeeze a quart into a pint pot! Have a good day everybody...

RMweb Premium eldavo Posted June 24, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 24, 2011 Morning All, Bright one hereabouts. You can expect all play to stop at Winbledon next week and we will probably never see the sun again in Southern England as I am having solar panels fitted on the roof! Probably be the first micro-generation system that never generates power. Did a twelve hour day on wiring up the fiddleyard control panel on Waton yesterday. I never worked this hard when I had a job! I now realise what an excellent job the wiremen I worked with did 30-odd years ago. Probably didn't get paid much either. Have a good one all.

RMweb Gold BoD Posted June 24, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2011 Morning all. It's a beautiful mornig here. Clear blue sky and the morning sun is wonderful... Is Wimbledon over then? Yesterday migh right eye became more and more bloodshot and, not painful, but certainly irritating. Woek up this morning with both eyes playing up. I have never suffered from either conjunctivitis or hay fever. i will see how they are by the end of the day but the way things have started it doesn't look good. Have a goof Friday everyone.

DonBradley Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Glad to see the missing bods on parade. I always have a 'goof' Friday. Sorry to hear about your eye problems BoD. I hope they clear up quickly. Although sorry to hear that Eastwood 1 has gone, I'm glad it didn't go via the wood burner. Still rain in the air and will remain over the weekend.

Probably be the first micro-generation system that never generates power. Dave, can you tell us who your solar panel supplier is? My father's interested in installing solar panels at their house at some point (maybe). Is Wimbledon over then?

I have never suffered from either conjunctivitis or hay fever. i will see how they are by the end of the day but the way things have started it doesn't look good. Bad luck with the eye, hope it clears up, but if not you'll definitely need some eyedrops. Conjunctivitis is pretty virulent, so Mrs BoD might end up with it too. I see that Evian water is being advertised as the official water of Wimbledon. Funny, I always thought the official water of Wimbledon was rain. Bright and sunny this morning. Hoping to get the baseboard built today for my challenge diorama. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted June 24, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2011 Morning all. Don was correct, I did catch up on some of the missing sleep this morning. I surfaced long enough to wish a Aditi a nice day at work and went back to sleep. Someone posted a leaflet through which resulted in Robbie barking so I got up. While I was drinking a cup of re-heated tea I read this article in the newspaper about solar panels. Solar Panel Installers Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted June 24, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2011 I'm sure that if it were a holiday weekend here, Benfleet would be busy as people try to get to the beaches of Canvey or Southend. Though thanks to BBC Springwatch, I suspect the roads will be packed with people heading to our local wildlife paradise (aka Pitsea Tip). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got an O Level in woodwork but I must have done exceptionally well on the theory paper! I'm wondering about a late entry in the 2011 challenge, of course there will be no wood involved!

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted June 25, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 25, 2011 Morning all. Having caught up with some of the sleep I did not get the night before, I'm feeling much better today. I may be looking for some new shoes later on. There's a new heat wave forecast to hit from tomorrow onwards, with Tuesday being expected to shatter the 35°C threshold. This, of course, will eventually be followed by thunderstorms...
