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.

I met Andrew when his usual tandem partner (my boss) couldn't make it one day and asked if I could fill in. I did - for about 15 years. We've known each other for about 40 years and as well as bikes, we share an interest in woodwork...and yes, he still has all his fingers. He did his honours thesis ...

Sorry, no aviation content. A blind mate has a job which includes testing new hardware & software that may be useful to people with disabilities, and educating makers and users about what works and what's around. Recently he's been testing various AI programs, including some that can look at an imag...

It's a real head-turner.

I feed the birds with seed (and, sometimes, peanuts), however there are some who say that the birds should be left to find their own natural food-sources. We only give a small amount of food, so they don't become dependent. The magpies particularly prefer to find their natural food, and when it's p...
