Morning.
It is a brighter grey here this morning.
I won a battle on the bay yesterday over an Airfix kit, I fancied doing another model.

Good morning from an overcast and dry Suffolk. Coffee has been had although the last mouthful was a bit more solid due to overestimating the dunking time of the Oatie biscuit when first made.

I don't need to leave to get the outbound train for another couple of hours, so a load of washing has been chucked into the machine and I'll iron the shirts as part of the domestics later in the week.

Today's destination is Leeds to see Kurt Vile at Project House this evening.

Yowser: that's small. I guess that's why I make larger scale 20th century models: less fiddly bits. I look forward to seeing it finished...

I won a 1/72 scale Golden Hind on the bay so it sould be not so fiddly.
The transfers on the Mary Rose are fiddly to put on.

It would be good to get another kit and make half of it just like the wreck in the museum. The othe half could be made a bit like they have in the museum with the finds they found in situ.

Travel problems due to trespassers on the track at Ipswich this morning. I was just going to get an early bus instead when the very late running local train went past heading to Felixstowe, so changed direction and caught that as it headed back to Ipswich instead. Good job as my scheduled train has no chance of making the time up to get to Ipswich on time for the connection here

It was all going fine even the washer and
bread maker coincided in finishing together
Then eventually after sugar soaping and masking tape applied started on the front lounge wall. The old paint ran down to paintbrush only level so opened the new tin, um.. maybe a good stir, um.. still doesn't look right.. lets pour a bit into the roller tray.

Definitely not the same. Looks at the paint label - Beige White not Creamy White.

Expletives followed

Oh well thats the paint for the rear spare bedroom when it gets done and another journey needed to Wickes in north Leeds.
