Morning.
The kitten made s great discovery this morning . He discovered that the glass window which separates him from the kitten in the identical room disappears when the door is opened . It becomes a cupboard ! . It must have been a puzzle for him .
My back is slightly better this morning . Thanks for the hugs .
Getting up from sitting down is awkward. Sneezing hurts !

Maybe thats where the saying "T'is better to recover hopefully than your demise"...originated.'course l may have got the quote twisted a bit

Ah, but there are loads of different kinds of Stock Cars, from bangers to stock saloons, ministox, hot rods etc as well as the single-seater F1 and F2 cars. Though the cars have evolved a LOT over the years - the chap on the extreme right of the photo was the world champion in superstox in 1973 (the older brother of the driver of the car that I'm modelling), and his car is a lot more basic.

Colin Higman was a top stock car driver in his own right, but made a real name for himself building Superstox and Brisca F2 race cars from the early 1980s onwards. Each car he produced was unique, and he destroyed all the drawings on completing the builds.

I've never really done any modelling before, so much learning as I go along...

Thanks for the photo As you say the sport has evolved from the old beat up cars I remember

Has anybody had a glimpse of the sun yet? It's a grade A grey day here.

Morning - bit slippy on the decking. Oiled it yesterday, but there was a load of frost on it this morning, that's now oily water. Waiting for the sunshine to dry it out.

Managed to break a nice watch the other day (nothing expensive but it was a present) - caught the time/date adjuster knob and it's ripped it out. The watch doesn't work now.

Fortunately, I purchased a new phone in January, and there was an offer for a Samsung Active Smart Watch (free). Just had a message to say it's being delivered today. Really don't like not having a watch.

So it wasn't that record setting Patek Phillipe watch then ? £24 million !

I have watches (given to me as gifts), but I never wear them. If I need to know the time, and there isn't a clock on a wall nearby, I look at my phone. When I have put on a watch (usually only the day I receive it as a gift), it feels really strange and heavy on my wrist. I suppose it's what you get used to.

Shock horror, Manchester has the sun. No rain. I'm not telling fibs.
