I have an important letter to send this morning. I'll take it to the Post Office and pay for Recorded Delivery, I think.

You're aware they're not getting a signature at the delivery address.

You're aware they're not getting a signature at the delivery address.

Oh so they are taking full cost then not giving service due to covid.I wonder how many customers know that.

Morning .
It is grey and wet here . The weather peeps said that it will brighten up a bit later .
Did a bit of filing yesterday . I was trying to file some deep gouges out of a pair of handlebars, it's the spacer bit where the stem clamps . It's also a bit awkward I I'm trying to save as much of the Cinelli engraving as possible .
I had better go and get some glue now and try to repair my grandson's toy garage .

Just wandered into the spare room and looked up on top of the wardrobe and there sat...2 brand new John Lewis suitcases, brought very early this year in the expectation of a wonderful holiday in Turkey. Bah....just another reminder of the mundaness of this year.

There's a slug eating some hedgehog poo outside my back door.
I wonder if it wants some salt sprinkled on it?

Anyway i am Bach.The roller blind was easy.Don't know how but i remembered how to slide it out,then had to work out how to pop the clip off the end,and that's all it took ,easy peasy.

 

[postman]

gbb you have given me an idea.This old baldy might go and have a hair transplant.Or a tattoo.a hare or a rabbit.Mind you the hare costs a fortune four times as much as the rabbit.So it will be the rabbit and from far away it will look like a hare.

That's no difference to my dental insurer. They're still taking full cost of insurance each month, which normally includes 3-monthly hygienist and 6-monthly check-ups, but not offering any service at all.

If I leave I would need to be re-assessed at a higher rate so they've got me. Thanks Denplan

Avoid the Humbrol acrylics that come with any of the kits.

How would you be applying the paint, brush or airgun?
Larger areas may be easier do with their aerosols. Uniform finish can be easier achieve.

Rails of Sheffield, Olivia's Trains, Frizinghall Models.

Time on my hands, so I have some Airfix model aircraft to build, I think it will be mostly brush, clearly small areas.

I use a rattle-can primer (Halfords is fine) followed by artists acrylics and a matt rattle-can varnish. I use Montana gold matt clear.

Not sure a gold hurricane would look right. Spray can for the underside is a good idea tho'

I'm more of an airbrush man myself, Tamiya makes good paint as well as models.

For a couple of models an airbrush might be OTT.

When l made my Airfix models there was no such thing as "online" or laptops or computers of any sort , not available to jo public anyway. So we went to a place called a shop which sold all the stuff needed for model making
Hard to believe l know !

We had to ask the school secretary to get them for us. He was very good, but sometimes got the wrong thing.
