They'd have a lot more to complain about if it didn't get hot!!



Today, played around in the workshop for a while getting batteries charged up ready for Sunday and started to try to fit the new couplings to the U-boat that I made on the ship. The originals were rubbish and badly out of balance.

I also fitted the figures to the tower except for the last one that remains to be painted.

Then lunch followed to a trip to see the guy who is making some furniture for me but he informed me the wood still wasn't properly seasoned yet so they may start next week.. You can't rush these things. I am having a unit made for the lounge from South African Railway sleepers, eventually!

Then B&Q for the lamps that have blown in my absence and finally home to continue playing with the U-Boat. Annette did a nice dinner so we had it in the dinning room and then we watched "As good as it gets", which is probably one of the best movies of all time. If you haven't seen it you should, then again to catch all the neat little lines you missed the first time.

That's me for the day, a last half an hour at the computer and off to bed.
