That was a belting final in this year's UK snooker championship. I really enjoyed watching it.

Looking out of the window, I can see them doing some kind of inspection on the railway line. There's a yellow two-car thing with lots of very bright lights inching forward verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry sloooooooooooooooowly.

With a few additional tweaks, I should have a workable template for the upper half of the bodywork for the Higman's cab. And with that, time to tidy up and head off to the Land of Nod.

Nunnight one and all xxx

 

[Andy in Germany]

Good morning; back to work today. I have to see what bikes sold over the weekend and then plan the next repairs.

Dog walk this morning had a hoarfrost too. Dog fed now warming up with the 3rd of the day.

First cuppa went down well
Just starting to lighten up outside
Dry underfoot by the look of it

How much weight will be going onto the shoulders?

Apart from the world not much .
I have tried the main helmet on whilst wearing a woolen hat and a bit of padding just to see what it's like and once it's on you don't note the weight . The visor would add a bit more weight . What is very noticeable is how confined and breathless you can feel by just placing the visor up to your face . I need to drill holes into it as there are on the actual ones .
It has got my brain working trying to remember how to do the shaping and figuring out how to construct the pieces.

Garden birds have been fed
It's a pale grey colour sky here and has a chilly nip in the air .

Watching why ships sink - herald of free enterprise...

One of the first news events I remember along with the Falklands.....

I watched that. Pretty terrifying, with it sinking 90 seconds after that first list. I was shocked at the lack of protocols to ensure the doors were shut.

Rain due in couple of hours

Those on a pole are worth around £2,000 upwards. With records of what was where sparse.

Not for scrap surely?
Must be for resale otherwise but who would use such a thing? There was and probably still is an export market for high end stolen cars but post boxes?

I didn't mention the word scone because it always starts arguments about how they're pronounced. And then we get onto rolls/baps/oven bottoms and we all forget what we were talking about in the first place. Which reminds me, Yorkshire quarters, I don't think I could eat a whole fraction of them.

We once had to entertain a party of French gastronomic journalists. Somehow after a good lunch lubricated with the best wine and our own make whisky the conversation got on to scones and my wife who was a good baker was asked for her recipe.
What is the French for cream of tartar? Nobody knew and the interpreter with them was of no help either.

Still dry but a cold wind and the house temperature has gone down a couple of degrees.
Very red sunrise when I got up so looking a bit ominous.
Nearly every time I look out of my front windows there is a Calmac ferry to be seen and yet the further out islands are constantly complaining about a lack of service.

Back in the office for 3 days from tomorrow. I'll be driving though. Does save my lungs, plus my daughter has three late finishes at Uni this week, so I can give her a lift home.
