A satisfying afternoon.

I furkled the last of the crap out of the cutting deck doodads (leaving it to marinate for a few days was a good idea) and squirted some silicone lubricant into the crannies I can't get to. Will re-attach the cutting deck tomorrow.

And I've made good headway on my Mclaren MP4/1 painting. This one's a challenge because of the figures and the perspective, but that's a good thing. If you stick to safe stuff, you don't learn.

Anyways, I have a nice

The ERTL Austin Healey was a good price . It is 2nd hand but looked to be in pretty good condition. The Kyosho ones are really good but are £200 +. I managed to get a TR3 version at an auction with a Franklin Mint 1/24 MG TC and a couple of small cars for £24 +. I had to glue the windscreen back on but that's all .
I have some old Grand Prix magazines from the Alan Jones, Nelson Piquet era somewhere!

Ah, early 1980s. Sounds neat.

"Yorkshire tea" is fine example of an oxymoron , or at least a contradiction of sorts....a bit like Chinese Lancashire hotpot should there be such a thing . On the other hand if the so called infusion has the addition of cows milk and sugar it has more in common with the Chinese herbal sweet snow fungus soup tradition than with it does with tea

Or Hawaiian Pizza.
And there is!

Lovely supper of soup (carrot, sweet potato & red lentil), the last of the mac & cheese, steamed broccoli and roasted baby plum tomatoes. And there's a doughnut with my name on for later.

I have not bothered to put out my blue wheelie bin this evening, nor my black bag. But I went to raid the neighbour's bin for old newspapers. He buys the Daily Wail I'm afraid to announce, but it's perfectly fine for wrapping kitchen waste in for the green wheelie bin, and for getting the fire going.

Nearly all the furniture has been removed from the lounge in anticipation of a carpet cleaning man turning up at 09:00 tomorrow morning to cleanse the lounge, stairs and landing carpets.
