Debs. Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 What have you precisioned so far today, Debs? Car`s done........clean-oil and air/oil/fuel filters-changed and I also blew some wind in the tyres. 2 hours of dog-training with my gang and an order of Specialty Gauge Products S7 gauges packaged-up and posted.......I`m somewhat feeling my age now...... I`ll revive when supper time approaches: it`s a cheesy, potato, and onion bake with chorizo-sausage...... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted March 20, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 20, 2012 Now that you mention it, we also need to figure something out for dinner... This is how my pair of 189s looks with 90% of the work to be done complete: The rear loco has been relettered as 189 038, with the one in front being 189 044. What I still need to figure out is how to fabricate those vertical stiffening pockets on the right-hand sides of the knuckle couplers. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, Spanish omelette? We had one a couple of days ago. It'll be salad with tuna for us tonight, though. Car checked out okay as well, with only the usual bits and pieces having been replaced.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted March 20, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2012 I suppose I'll have to do something (but not today) with the chorizo sausage in the fridge. It isn't very much past its use by date. Tonight though I have to finish the too hot goulash while Aditi gets to finish the too bland salmon quiche we took to Enfield on Mothers' Day.

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted March 20, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 20, 2012 I'd much like to have cabbage rolls some time soon. They aren't actually difficult to prepare, just time-consuming, which I guess may be why we didn't have any recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted March 20, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2012 For years I didn't like cabbage, probably due the way it was prepared at school (and at home when I was a child as well to be honest). I'm not sure I've ever had it as a roll, apart from the time we tried something Greek and wrapped whatever was inside in cabbage instead of vine leaves. It was a long time ago though. I'm sure vine leaves would be available in supermarkets now. When we first lived in Essex it was impossible to get an aubergine except in an Indian shop in Westcliff. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted March 20, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hello! Sorry guys, I know it's been a while... Had my maths exam today and got 74% which I am really pleased with considering last time I got 26%! Currently sipping a good cup of tea whilst editing some videos (not railway themed unfortunately). Had many late nights this last 2 weeks which has left me rather knackered! Right I'm off to finish editing those videos... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Don't overdo it, Jam. Watching videos can be very tiring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 20, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2012 For years I didn't like cabbage, probably due the way it was prepared at school (and at home when I was a child as well to be honest).

Aubergines are very easy to grow - as easy as tomatoes and liking very similar conditions (and hence the fact that we have in store considerable quantities of home produced ratatouille).

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted March 20, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2012 We usually grow courgettes and buy aubergines, FiL used to grow aubergines in Nottingham but in his greenhouses. Any outdoor crops he grew had to be protected by underground fences to deter the nightly assault by badgers. I think he quite liked the badgers and probably didn't mind sharing some vegetables. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted March 21, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 21, 2012 Morning all... Well done, Jam! I found out I passed all exams I wrote this term as well. I was meaning to sleep in a bit longer today, but it would seem my internal chronometer cannot differentiate between work days and the rest. Oh well...

travelintrev Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Morning all, so it's 'Hump' day again. I'm another who cant bear the thought of contact lenses, so stick to proper glasses...Hopefully the a/c on the car will get fixed today, it's not fun sitting in traffic jams (aka 'Go-slows') for hours in 40c temperatures...... Well enjoy your day all, and congrats on the exam results by-the-way. Trev 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yet another pleasant day in NYC, 77f. Interview with another Essex finest, Wilko Johnson on the Beeb website. Later, Pete. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 CONGRATS Jam. WELL DONE! Hello folks. Getting cooler. 25C today and rather cloudy. It looks like about 7 Oktas today but will probably clear later. Happy hump day all. Trev, have you waited all these months without A/C in you car? Or is this another car and a new problem.

Debs. Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Morning all. Attending a funeral today, though mercifully, nobody "close": just supporting a fellow-member and representing our 'meeting'. It`s one of those woodland-setting (eco.) services; I haven`t been to one of those before.....not sure what to expect. Debs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted March 21, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 21, 2012 Morning all. I was up at 5 this morning but only long enough to find some paracetamol! Back to "normal" now and lots of recycling stuff to put out. Jam, well done. Dom, well done. Debs, I do hope the funeral goes smoothly. I haven't been to one of the kind you mentioned either. Pete, I noticed the Wilko item on the website but haven't read it yet. I shall have to, as one of Aditi's cousins wants me to take him round all the Canvey / Southend places where Dr Feelgood performed! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted March 21, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 21, 2012 I, too, hope the funeral will be alright, Debs - far as such a thing is possible in the first place. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
