Cracking pictures Jeff

Was that a Trabant I saw in there?

TSW2 have released a YT video today so I'm back to school going over the beginners guide to driving steam locomotives ready for the Spirit of steam game set in 1958 which will launch tomorrow

Evening all, It's been showers rolling through for most of the day here & I swapped my Summer cardy for a thicker one

The wet weather has brought the slugs & snails out in force so I've been collecting them & chucking em on the back field, Little beggers have decimated a lot of the young flowers I planted

. One or two got the boot

.

I've been watching that steam loco driver training vid a few times & found out the game is being released tomorrow (I maybe awol

) without being able to manual firing the loco by the fireman as there are bugs in it apparently so they've set it to auto firing & water injecting until they iron the bugs out

Saw the fireman action on another YT vid & it'll be brilliant when it's sorted out.

Managed to get a coat of fence paint on all the panels around the garden. I bought a Ronseal sprayer to go with the Ronseal paint.

The paint had to be thinned to a 1 part water and four parts paint in order to get it onto the panel in a spray pattern. I must have used about two litres before I got the spray pattern something like!!! Once that was sorted, it was go, go ,go (as a certain Formula One commentator used to say!) Lots of cardboard needed for masking, or brush all the edges first (sort of defeats the object of the sprayer!).

Reading the reviews of the sprayer were quite comical as one poor soul had tried to remove the spray end whilst it was pressurised, to see what was wrong! I wish that could have been on video!

Haven't seen anything like that since the pressure clearing of the gents urinal at the pub due to soggy fag end blockage, when one poor soul couldn't wait to use the trough, just as it blew clear! He was covered from head to toe!

Evening everyone.

A grand day at Matt’s. Matt fixed Leafy’s screen washer pump and indicator’s lights. In between the rain showers Matt looked at Banana’s seat belt issues. Turns out I had got it wrong. I thought that the rear pretensions had to sit proud of the rear seat. Never gave it a thought that they sat under the seat covers.

It’s my age.

Just having a wee Glenlivet to round of the evening.

Everyone seems to have been quite productive today! By contrast, I spent an enjoyable afternoon looking for old Scania buses to ride in Stirling and Falkirk. Tomorrow I will be taking the Rover to have the scuff on the front bumper fixed, before treating it to a jolly good clean inside and out.

Excellent set of photographs from Brands Hatch, especially the Trabant!

Welcome to the chill out lounge where the trivia and unimportant is sometimes important.

Morning all

This morning it’s a visit to the cobblers for repairs to a pair of Clark’s shoes, the heel and sole one shoe is falling off. A new pair of Clarks in Nairobi is £123 which is a lot to pay for shoes. Throwing the old pair out for new is not an option.

Yesterday morning, a large Sykes monkey tried to get into the lounge by sliding back the glass patio doors. So brazen and daring, it took fright and scarpered. We don’t want monkeys getting inside causing havoc.

What’s everyone up to?
