Erm, that links back to THIS thread actually. Is that what you meant?

Opps, no. Corrected, applogies.


No, it STILL comes back to this thread. :(

I heard this one on the radio. The DJ had small children and had them out in the garage playing bowling with a tennis ball and pop cans.

Hopefully I've sorted it.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I'd just assumed that this was  a very crafty Chris trying to alleviate our potential boredom by sending us chasing our own tails.

I'm being sad because I packed all my hobby things in anticipation of moving to a new home, only to have that process halted before I found said new house.  Waaaaah!

So I'm catching up on podcasts, cleaning up the yard, so glad spring is here in the northern hemisphere.
Also planning what I'm going to be buying after the move; I've missed so many kits I wanted but decided they could wait and then they ended production.   :banghead:

You could search and catalog all those various kits and detail sets you've stored up, especially those kits you hid in other boxes and then forgot you did.   :rolleyes:

Clean your hobby table, properly, then reorganize it that way you've always wanted.
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Well I'm now furloughed for at least three weeks (probably more). The 80% pay is fine, the uncertainty is not so fine.

At least now I've got time to ... run round to my auntie's house in response to phones calls about 'snakes' in the wardrobe. Turned out to be a coat-hanger...

I know it sounds funny from the outside but, having followed a couple of conversations on this, that's really sad, mate. I hope she improves.

One can always take a walk in their favorite period dress.  Like this couple:

I've also had to deal with similar things with my late father.  However, he fixated on my late grandmother (gone these 15 years this summer) and the day she shuffled off her mortal coil.

Lucky they have their own sizes in stock!

But what a great idea.  :thumbsup:

What are those whif planes in the article ? I've been spending most of mine time drinking....actually getting tired if it. I'm off it today, and hope to wake up tomorrow and start some kind of routine. Maybe exercise and then clean the house and then work on the models and bikes. I'd defo like to get some work done on those, prepare some for selling off....

I have spent a lot of time on the garden while it's been sunny. I was going to mow the grass again today but it's turned cold and damp. So far I have:

Cut the grass, the hedge and the cable to the hedge trimmer  :banghead:  I will pick up a new hedge trimmer next week.

Dug out the compost heap and spread it all along the borders. The neighbours put in a new fence and the old flowerbeds got wrecked in the process so they had to be dug over.

Removed a large amount of rubble in the form of broken bricks, tiles, concrete slabs, flowerpots and fence posts. Enough to fill the boot of my car!

Stopped the fence wobbling by reuse of an old tent pole found amongst the rubble. I flattened each end and drilled holes in them. I then screwed it to the fence post and to the concrete slab below.

Had to replace the base of the rotary washing line after it snapped at ground level. The spike was rendered unusable and needed replacing because the short length of pole inside was jammed or corroded in firmly. The washing line is now 6 inch lower so Mum is happy she finds it easier to reach!


Indoors I have watched a lot of TV, played World of Tanks, read a bit, tidied some stuff, cooked meals from recipe books and generally done stuff all.  :lol:
I need to order more beer online from my favourite brewery and read up on new recipes for rum drinks.  :cheers:
