Sold a couple of the boxes so spent an our or so freshening them up with a coat of oil. Not exactly heavy labour, but by the time I'd finished I was stuffed. I think It's going to take me a while to get back to full fitness. Had some nice emails from previous clients. One was from someone I'd never ...

Good afternoon all, sorry for lack of weather report this morning. It's now 100% cloud, 17C and forecast max 18C. When Haley's last visited it was distinctly unimpressive. A couple of years before, sometime in the late '60s or early 70s, we were visited by a much more spectacular comet whose name I ...

Nominative determinism?

Was at the local T.esco today about 1700, it is a very large one but was almost out of salad stuff. Unusual for us to go on a Monday so don't know if that is the norm but I was surprised. We normally have a delivery from them every 10 days or so and that is the only time I peruse the availability, ...

Thanks all. I won't have a chance to look at it tomorrow. Maybe over the weekend.

What T15 said, the condition looks better than many volunteer-run aviation museums. Well done.

Thanks all. It seems that if you're using iOS on Mac, all is ok (please let me know if this is wrong). Otherwise, results are unpredictable. I suspect that this is because over the years, standards for browsers have changed and my site no longer complies with some. It looks like I will have to use a...

Thanks. I'll get in touch with the hosting company. I've only used their help desk a couple of times, but they've been pretty good.

PHXPhlyer & Limeygirl, I've sent PM's. If anyone else is having trouble seeing pics, could you please let me know what sort of machine/operating system you're trying to use it on.

Thanks Llondel.
Now can you reveal the secret to make the pictures appear?

Good morning all, clear blue skies here again. Currently 13C, forecast max 20C. Thanks for your interest in my work. All I want to do with the web site is change some of the text on the home page, and alter the 'For Sale' page. In theory this shouldn't be too hard - I've done it before and have all ...

Prepared a catalogue with photos of all the unsold pieces I've accumulated over the years. Some are pieces that were returned from galleries when covid hit, others were pieces that I've made for exhibitions or fun and never got around to selling. Then did a mail out to all my customers, and a series...

Good morning all, clear blue skies, currently 11C, forecast max 19C.

Spent some time pottering in the sun, then photographing a few items that I didn't have suitable photos of, in preparation for a clearing sale, as I've decided to retire from making commissions. I'll still do the occasional job for my own pleasure, and if someone wants to buy it they're welcome. Mos...

Good morning all, blue syies with a little cloud today. Currently 15C, forecast max 18C. I will find a way to enjoy the sun today.

A rising tide lifts all boats - some more than others.

When we had rodent problems moving in (or returning) to a house, our cats took care of the issue. Probably not such a good solution when there are coyotes to take care of the cats. It would be interesting to see a coyote take on an Australian feral cat. They grow huge, and I've seen one chase a fox...

Mrs Hydro was a pre-school teacher, so her clients were at the other end of the age scale. In her room they had 4 teachers, 16 kids from 6 week to 2 years. The drill was, two teachers grabbed the ends of a rope and walked out all the kids who could walk, hanging on to the rope. The kids who were too...

Here, a lot of people are using poisons to get rid of rats, with disastrous consequences for owls and other predatory birds. There are better poisons available, but they are more expensive, and the big hardware stores won't carry them. I use a traditional trap, but try to position it so it's not acc...

Good morning all, sunny day with a little cloud around. Currently 11C, forecast max 18C. Fingers numb. Washing day today.
