Mwahahaaa...

Remember, measure twice, cut once.

Remember, measure twice, cut once.

Spent this morning measuring the room and the furniture to see if my cunning plan can work.

Any suggestions that I allowed space for a small model railway are pure malicious rumour...

Gave the grass it's first cut of the year today - just took the top inch off.

Also had a shot at making cranachan using half-fat creme fraiche instead of double-cream. It wasn't that great.

Run it down a wall, an end to end display.

We have very little full-height wall space so we need that for furniture. I'm trying to work out a way to fit something onto a set of Ikea shelves.

I mean, I would be, except that I'm not actually planning anything like that. Obviously.

Somewhat potentially exciting news, our traveller neighbours might be moving out.

Lord help their new neighbours. Cannabis smoking in the garden, fierce arguments occasionally, parents fighting occasionally, dad fighting the son twice, kids screaming, kids in the garden at 1 to 3 am. And for all that, once you learn to shut off to it...they weren't too bad

Wednesday I'm told. Let's hope eh ?

If you were planning something like that, what size space would you be looking at?

I am would be thinking in terms of a micro, over two, possibly eventually 3 shelves. I built a baseboard which is about 170cm by 40cm from memory, designed thus so I could fit it onto two wide Ivar shelves.

I remember seeing something like that in a magazine 25 years ago. The image has stuck with me because it looked fantastic. A sidings would work well on a shelf I always thought.

I''m hoping to use a design I made many years ago. I'll move over to the Hobbies thread tomorrow to avoid clogging this one up.

Bedtime now though...

Would your trains run, and be on time?

Of course they’d be efficient. He’s in Germany, not UK.

I’m going to bed, it’s been a trying day.
