I'm thinking of buying a £1.10 fibre cement slate from Builder Depot later today.
I can hardly wait.

And so it begins.....

No wonder you couldn't sleep with that excitement

Blimey, Monday morning seems to have arrived. Mrs LL off to visit her mum, so potential peace for a couple of days

No.

Clue 2 - It was an American series.

Morning! Yesterday's Operation Choo Choo got off to an early but pleasant start. My brother picked me up at 6.45, the sun was shining and there was some misty clouds about. As we approached Kingswood we could see some hot air balloons rising on the horizon. I counted about 7. I missed a lovely photo shot as we approached a roundabout near Temple Meads, as I looked up at the spire of St. Mary's Redcliffe it looked as though a balloon was perched directly above the weather vane.
We parked in the Temple Meads car park where we met other fellow travellers queueing up to feed the meter. We all gathered on the platform and waited for Clan Line to arrive.
We set off, and as the journey progressed the weather brightened up. We stopped at Taunton to fill up with water, to stretch our legs and take photos of the engine. A mix up in the timings meant that a High Speed Train was on our tail and the engine crew had to try to make up for lost time, but we finally had to pull into a siding to let it pass
An emergency medical stop was made at Exeter St. David's where we stopped for half an hour whilst a passenger was treated and taken to hospital by ambulance. We were told later that a passenger had stopped breathing and was being treated by medical staff on board until the train could stop and allow Para Medics to take over. We were told later that the passenger had recovered.
We finally pulled into a drizzly grey Paignton where we switched over to a private line down to Kingswear and a ferry trip across to Dartmouth.

Fantastic. Glad you had a good day. Great pictures. Mr K says that the loco looks gleaming and has been polished to perfection!

How is the wrist this morning? Did you get it checked-out?
Roller blades in the bin?
I thought this was apt :-)

Just had some blueberries out the garden mixed in with my bran flakes and yogurt.
Should keep me going for a few miles.

I'm struggling to think of a 1960's sci-fi series about kebabs....

I'm only on episode 5, the kebabs haven't made an appearance yet

What are we going to do now that killjoy Phil has locked all of Accy's threads?
