Heavy rain and windy this morning. Complete contrast from yesterday and just as well I got out for a run then as definitely not going out in what we have now.
I had considered gathering together a bundle of stuff to go to the charity shop or dump as appropriate but that can wait.
Strange no great dramas reported on FB but just loads of Christmas adverts. Even the ferries seem to be running as normal.

My Dad told me the one in Walsall was inaccurate for so many years the locals knew it as the "4 faced liar".

Just put the laptop off when Calmac start sending text messages warning of possible disruptions to service due to weather conditions.
The wee boat aka The Sampan coped remarkably well last winter with some terrible weather.

It is raining here .
I have washed off the Flymo and it now turns over by the recoil starter . It doesn't look like it's had much use .

Probably because they can't tell the difference between insemination and intelligence , either way they are screwed !!

Well it's stopped raining
I'm going to take a bucket of warm soapy water and give Hercules a welcome home wash.
We were in London yesterday.
Then I'll probably go out and get it all muddy again.

Just found out that the tip at Enderby takes part used paint.
Will get that sorted soon as the racks in the garage looks like .the paint aisle at B&Q.

When volunteering on The Welshpool and Llanfair preserved railway as a teenager I once spent two very happy weeks alone in the carriage shed, painting a carriage with a big pot of what was essentially all the leftovers mixed together. For those who may have visited the railway, this is why the 'mess coach' was mostly dark green for about a decade.
Bearing in mind what was poured into the big pot, dark green was probably the best possible outcome.
Useless extra information: I painted the buffer beam red, but several people of a certain mindset got quite uppity about this as "only locomotives have red buffer beams". Someone was upset enough to paint it black a few weeks later, which is why there are a couple of images of the carriage with a red buffer beam but most show it black.
