Tea? (Part 2)

[Speicher]

I have some home-made mince pies to go with my tea! Very sorry to say that they are extremely crumbly in an excellent way, but that makes it difficult impossible to share them with you.

I am almost certain that he might think you are the best auntie in the world, and wonders how he will be able to share you with his sibling.

All my nieces and nephews are in their late twenties, early thirties now. "Great" nieces and nephews are not the same thing at all.

Arch, yes I think you need a turntable, and some sidings. A platform might be useful too. And a bridge to run cars over? and..

Yes, I'm in danger of buying a whole lot of stuff just for me.... I found

http://www.jesters.com/acatalog/Wooden_Train_Sets.html

which has good stuff fairly cheap, compared with the real Brio.

He already has a lot of track and rolling stock, from the cheap Ikea sets. He's really not so interested in 'scenery' just yet. He likes to practice buffering up the locos to the trucks, gently, and knew before he was 2 about the magnets sticking one way and not the other, which we think makes him a genius.

Cheers, Waffles. Tea? anyone?

Oh go on, shovel the bits up with a spoon....

With your imagination and recycling skills, I think you would be able to make buildings etc out of small cardboard boxes. Draw an oblong or square on white sturdy paper, and he can colour in the windows and doors etc. Then stick his drawing on the box. Those buildings in the kits looks very nice, but look on the expensive side, to me.

That's a good idea - although his colouring is still a little on the Impressionistic side...

I'll tell my sister to start saving suitable boxes....

3 assignments down 2 to go. I seem to be getting back into the swing of things. I'm finding the threat of failing the course if you don't hand in any work a good incentive to get the work done.

Plus I'm a lot older and wiser than when I did my first degree.

Just need the lecturers to open a course on ternitin so I can submit my assignment.

Afternoon - a little quiet in here today? Shall I start a new pot?

 

[Zippy]

Yes please. I'll share a cup wi' yer.

There's always a whiff of caustic soda when you come into the room, Zippy. Still trying to get the stuff out of your bike frame?

<Pops off to find the air-freshener>

 

[Zippy]

that'll be the bath water!!

I washed off the last bits of caustic in a nice warm bath and a shower to rinse off. Left the bath sparkling!

Tolerant missus!

... spritzed the insides with WD40 once dried - the frame, not the missus!

Afternoons.. I've been doing a sport of.. work. Now about to brave the elements

Assignment worries today, loads of people have said they have referenced something that's basically a critique of the group presentation we did last week.

How can they reference something that we did no research on?!!!! Send me a big mug of tea please, my heads spinning.
