RMweb Gold BoD Posted August 15, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 15, 2011 Morning all Yes I am back home. we were travelling back last week Don. We just popped by train to Edinburgh for the day to take in the 'buzz' of the festival. Since our relatives moved from Edinburgh I haven't been to stay or do any shows during festival time but I do still like to go for a day. "its down the left hand side" I thought you had bee researching wedding seating etiquette there Gordon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted August 15, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 15, 2011 Ooh, very nice! Morning all, it is a sunny day in the New Forest with a slightly fresh feel to the morning. I've been booked to help set up a friends large three rail layout in the village this morning which should be fun as it involves testing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PhilH Posted August 15, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 15, 2011 Morning all, nice and bright here in the endoftheedge. Just about recovered form the birthday weekend, only two years, eleven months, three weeks and 5 days left till I retire from the madhouse. Another new look, can't make my mind up about it yet - one thing has'nt changed, it's still the slowest loading site I visit..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted August 15, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 15, 2011 Morning all, Wedding anniversary today so I think sneaking off and buying a card and flowers is in order. A bright sunny day outside and the fish tank hasn't leaked after its move. A meeting with the building inspector hopefully will tell me how to strengthen the old house roof so I can improve the price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Happy Anniversary to you Mick. Fingers crossed that the meeting with the Building Inspector goes well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Happy anniversary, Mick... August 15th must have been a good day to get married. My Mum and Dad, bless him, would have been married 66 years today, so we're off out for lunch with Mum to give her a little cheer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Morning all. Is it me or does the world look different today on RMWeb? JFK Airport had a record 7.5 inches of rain in the past 24 hours - and guess what? The system is heading to Europe......... On the cheerful note I am going to the garden for a fag........ Best, Pete.

trisonic Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 You should be fine as the storm centre is still south of Long Island - it is moving rather slowly, hence all the rain. I don't see it reaching your neck of the woods until Saturday. Enjoy! What is it btw? Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted August 15, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 15, 2011 This has become a rotten day. Around noon I was informed that my grandpa has been hospitalised with sepsis. As organ function is increasingly impaired, things don't exactly look good, though at least he does not appear to be in pain. So, please bear with me if I shouldn't feel like doing much talking for a while... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDolfelin Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I've gazed around in wonder at our new tenancy. Overcome with emotion at the marvellous decorating job. At least I haven't had to re-register and become an also-ran this time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted August 15, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 15, 2011 It feels like I am an also ran, not a good 24th anniversary. Seeing the inspector in the loft tomorrow 11 till 1 possibly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Good morning all. Does Mrs S join you Gordon in you Super cars? Somehow I don't think so! Still two more clear warm days before the rain is forecast to return. Anybody doing any modeling?(BoD,, Dd) Stewart, did your proposed layout ever get off the ground?

travelintrev Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Morning All, a couple of netless days and I come back to find the forums all changed............. Well a bit of good news; three out of the five sets we got running yesterday, sort of a strange feeling you work on a big project like this (not quite single - handedly) and all of a sudden it nearly finished...... Bit like building a kit loco and putting it on track for the first time, and powering up. Oh well, phase two to do, and two others at least....................enjoy your day!

Robert Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Morning All, Ugh! Not a particularly good start to the day. The weather is cloudy and grey - and it is decidedly fresh. I then find that some clown with a van had parked me in. I needed to shunt countless times to get the car out of the space. Then, I arrive at work to find everything in flux. There was some sort of software problem last night which we are trying to sort out. Just what we don't need! Sorry to hear about your Grandfather Dominik. I hope he makes a recovery, but at least he isn't in pain at the moment. He's also in hospital, so they will do the best they can for him. Have a good day everyone... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Morning all.... Saddened to read about your Grandfather Dominik. I must admit I had not heard of Sepsis, but having searched it is clear that he is in the best place right now. My thoughts are with you as it is tough seeing someone you love having to cope with serious illness. Come on sun, where are you.....Mrs S does come with me most of the time although I suspect she may end up looking like Bridget Jones if the roof comes down today. We had hoped to make a trip to the 'Field of Dreams' in Someset, but will probably leave it for a sunny day. We saw this on TV and it took us right back to our childhood. What a wonderful thing to do to a piece of empty land that was overgrown and in danger of becoming a dumping ground. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2022610/One-couple-57-flowers-Somerset-meadow-turned-field-dreams.html 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixoh8sixoh Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Morning all! Dominik, hope your grandfather makes a good recovery. Found my way here eventually this morning, as my email alerts aren't yet coming through following the facelift. Really enjoyed the Book Festival yesterday, great interview/talk with Jonathan Agnew. Spent last night making strawberry ice cream with the PYO from Sunday (relatively successful, I think) and meringues (not quite as successful!). Off to my second Book Festival event tonight - Neil Gaiman. Looking forward to this one too, couldn't get tickets for his last one as it sold out almost instantly. I was wise to that this time and got in early! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium eldavo Posted August 16, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 16, 2011 Morning All, Rather too many oktas in evidence currently. Must be because of Gordon and his convertible. R8 Spyder, nice! Had a look at one at Goodwood last year. Feels almost as good as a Porsche!! Hope things improve for your Grandfather Dom. Have a good one all. Cheers Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted August 16, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 16, 2011 Thanks for your kind words, guys. Far as I'm informed, things do not appear to have changed over night, so everything can still go either way...also considering that he's 91 years old. I still am rather anxious about hearing just about any kind of news concerning his situation, so I do not quite know what to do with my time. At least I slept fairly well, given these circumstances, though this may have had just as much to do with plain exhaustion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 91 is a great age, Dom. I only hope that he managed to live a fulfilling life! All my folks died early, including my brother at 66. I have no close family left now. Make the most of all of them, each day counts! Best wishes, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Can't believe what I've just seen. Picked up the car and stopped for a coffee before driving back. There was an appetising display of hot food, so picked up a Cheese and Onion roll. The girl behind the counter was sorting out the display and apologised she would be with me in a few seconds. Next thing she picks up the remaining cheese and onion rolls and puts them straight in the bin... As I was about to eat one, I asked what was wrong with them. Nothing she replied, 'they've just been there 4 hours' and it's company policy.... What a crazy world we live in. Of course I told Mrs S and quick as a flash she said 'why didn't you ask and bring them home'. Why didn't I think of that?.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
