DDolfelin Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Thanks for that, Gordon. I've just bought the Readers Digest book of birds (awaiting delivery - me, not the birds) but that looks like a useful tool. Any Amazon updates on the Hair Re-growth Foam?

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted May 4, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 4, 2012 Tony, it's brightened up so very pleasant weather to greet your nephew. That is nice to know. His plane landed at about 7.30 (not sure our or your time!). Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted May 4, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 4, 2012 Morning all. Dull and cloudy here but at least it's not raining (nor is any forecast - but I did say forecast). Hmm - another Bristol show missed but the way the M4/M5 junction is and the 'bus service from Parkway I'm not going to shed any tears - missing Melksham was a bind but missing this one won't be. In any case I've got to get underway for Mrs Stationmaster's birthday tomorrow as I'm sure she'd like a card and I'm told we're going shopping to look for a potential pressie - she's decided she wants an exercise bike which could be interesting as she can't ride one of the normal variety and wants this thing (if it happens) sited on the landing. As someone once said 'we live in interesting times'. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her name is Giulietta, she has a 60 plate, and comes in a beautiful cream colour. Oh to have the money for an Alfa. Must be something in the air. I have a similar problem but her name is Virage with a 12 plate and I definitely can't afford her! Have a good one all. Cheers Dave 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted May 4, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 4, 2012 Sorry Tony. It's clouded over again as another cold front is moving in. It won't be that different to the weather here then. I hope he takes some photographs while he is there. Matthew did take some while he was in New York. It seemed to be raining, (except at the baseball game).

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted May 4, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Afternoon All Late on parade, as was up early - and as 30747 has Fridays off and goes to her art class, she had a few "small jobs that you can do sitting down" - promptly pulled out a load of books from a hidey hole that I'd forgotten, and lo and behold, all the ones that I couldn't find were out on the floor for sorting and disposal of as many as possible - I am up to five folding cratefuls now and car boot seems the most logical disposal route - there's no transport books there at all though - just fairly recent fiction. Dull now, and likely to rain before long. Thanks to my cyber friends for the birthday greetings - strange how many of my cards had trains on them! One of my presents was a railway jigsaw puzzle with a Malcolm Root painting of a Duchess and it is a very posh wooden job with some very unusual cutting of the pieces, including bits shaped like signals, gradient posts, old gripping tongs, and other railway related things - also the other pieces are very irregularly cut, and there appear to be corners made up of two pieces cut like mitres, and also straight edged pieces which are not the outside edges - made by an outfit called Wentworth, and it looks as if a 250 piece puzzle will occupy about a month. I don't think I've ever seen a puzzle that looks so difficult - anybody else out there know this maker?

I've got a few Wasgij puzzles, and they are very challenging, some are the same picture from the opposite perspective, and some are the same image brought forward in time. Wentworths are totally different, as they are wooden, expensive (250 pieces about 25 quid from what I can see, and have the very unusual cutting of the pieces. Apart from the "whimsy" pieces, there are no two bits cut the same.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted May 4, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 4, 2012 Apple auto-correct seems to provide endless hours of fun if the internet is to be believed. It always seems to suggest something not quite as intended! I'm not using a Mac at the moment but I don't recall Mac mail forcing any spelling corrections on me.

gordon s Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Oh, don't be so harsh on Alfa's. I loved my 164 Cloverleaf years ago. Wonderful drivers car with a beautiful six cylinder three litre engine. Love has a wonderful power of making you forget the appalling sales, service and support plus the five bob electrics that had a mind of their own. It was a tempestuous three year affair, that I still recall with affection. Of course that was back in the 90's and I believe they have improved considerably since then. They couldn't have got any worse after all. Some of the most beautiful cars on the road today. If you have the heart and mental strength to enter a passionate love/hate relationship, then go for it, but eventually it may break your heart....

DDolfelin Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Yes, I dreamed of a sunny morning, awoke and it was all true. "Was she the Flavia of the month?" She certainly brought one to the boil ... and we know what Lancias do to boils. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
