Posh mummies and spoilt daughters

Nice to not have the rain. Cassie had a fine time chasing a ball with a spaniel.

Beer does not go in fridge, only lager (if so inclined)

Unless you live in an exceptionally warm flat with no larder. It's only the imperial stouts and barley wine kinds of beer that work at over 20C. For the rest, I have a compartment labelled Salad at the bottom of my fridge.

-10C here, but I do not have several feet of snow like Buffalo, in New York, does.

Take your pick most nationally have plenty, intentionally the amounts some have are criminal.

The RC church even has its own bank...

Most independent churches have sufficient to pay for upkeep & utilities with a little that they donate to causes they support.

Morning.
Just thinking about making another .
Watching The Repair Shop the other day reinvigorated an interest in a model boat that I have . It is one which I had bought at an auction some years ago. It was a plastic kit of a Corvette that had been part started . Anyway I thought I would dig it out of our loft and have a tinker . Figuring out how to put an electric motor in and RC gear was a bit scratchy heady at the time so I thought I would start off by painting some numbers on it . K36, it is supposed to be Clematis, pretty in blue and white . I had a small picture of the side view of the ship to get an idea of the style of letters and numbers . I didn't know that the letter K was an awkward shape before , it's not like the one here . Well I managed to make a representation of it and then started on the 3 and 6. Once that was done I could transfer it ont the boat and paint it on . Just to be awkward it sits astride part of the camouflage so part of it has to be white and the other half blue .
There are some stunning models out there . Mine won't be one of them !

There was a reason I never painted plastic models at school.

I patched the exhaust on the Czech patient. I seem to spend more time fixing it than driving it.

Now time to fix the bottom bracket that broke spectacularly last Saturday. It is pleasant working on bikes as you don't have to lie on your back with flakes of rust falling on your face.

Daughter is itching to put decoration's up. She's tidied up her room and is decorating it. We're not ready in the rest of the house just yet - still pushing for 1st December. Just ordered some more TP Link TAPO smart plugs for controlling the Xmas Deccys this year rather than rely on clunky old 'clockwork' timers (most have fell to bits). Oh and these have power monitoring so I can sit there swearing about how much the lights are costing

Our Christmas tree has been up all year

Still rough with covid, but I did manage to wash two cars, and prep and cook Lasagne. It's currently bubbling away in the oven ! My adult kids don't do Lasagne, so they have spag bolognese ! More for me and MrsF

Like an idiot I forgot that I had no 1/4" ball bearings so that won't be fixed today either.

Had been hoping to go for a ride but torrential rain has set in.

I don't have a Christmas tree.

 

[fossyant]

Our 'real one' has too, getting bigger and bigger each year - must be about 12 foot now. That will be getting decorated soon - we even put cheap baubles on it !

Yay - negative today
