There's a strong cold wind blowing here the last 2 days, but it's supposed to be 14/15 c on xmas day, then getting colder again on boxing day, changing weather as it is with you. It is caused by hurricane Caroline that left the USA a few days ago, though it's lost a lot of it's power crossing the atlantic sea.
My leg is a bit better this weekend, I don't know how long for, but I know I'm fed up of taking antibiotics, they give me a bad stomach, and this is the 10th lot so I can't take many more.
I used to tell jokes a lot more than I do now, I think a lot of the jokes I've told on Diana's facebook page have missed by most people, maybe too subtle for some. Of course when you can't see someone's face, you can mistake a joke for an insult or miss it altogether.
Yes I've got a lot of model cars, they are collectors models, they only make 1000 or 2000 of each one for the world, I've got a …show more content…
display cabinet full of them, some 1-43 scale, some 1-18 scale, I'll put a picture on here.
I've got my chair sorted now, well almost, it will do for now, I'll experiment a bit more after xmas.
A guy came from the shop and got him to make the front feet smaller. The chair sits on 4 castor wheels when it's in the down position, but when you press it to lift it up, the front wheels lift up and it then sits on 2 solid feet to make it more stable, so if I tilt it a tiny bit, it makes the front lower by 20-22mm now. It was my idea to make those feet smaller, he didn't really know what to do, he brought some feet to replace the castor wheels, but they weren't much smaller that the wheels, so it wasn't worth swapping them. Good job I am an inventive genius., If you look at the photos of it, there are 3 compartments, and they have zips on so you can alter the amount of padding, well I took the bags of padding out, and replaced them with pillows, that are a bit smaller and softer, now it's more comfortable, and more like the one in the shop. I'm wondering if the manufacturers put the wrong padding bags
in.
Yes I've seen him about, every time I walk passed a mirror, he seems to be coming the other way, so I've talked to him a few times but I don't know him so well, I don't really understand him, He's always taking philosophy to me, sometimes he ties me in knots (the meaning isn't understood,), but sometimes I think he is stunningly brilliant, other times I think he's an idiot, and sometimes I just want to give him a slap for being too negative. Sometimes he's warm and friendly, other times he's cold and distant, but from what you say, he's got good taste in music. Talking of chocolate, it's Toblerone for me tonight.
Thanks for your kind words Diana .
So, what are you making for Christmas dinner ? do you make Yorkshire puddings ? if not I'll give you the recipe to try, a Christmas dinner isn't a dinner without a Yorkshire pudding. Hope you have a wonderful time, what ever you are doing, and I hope every thing is good in your world today.
Merry Christmas Diana, take care. just a few of my collectors models, the one with a big red car and a small one, well that's the difference between 1/43 scale and 1/18, the one with the yellow van and white coach in the top left corner, that's my Vauxhall- Bedford collection. The big ones have opening doors, bonnet, boot (hood and trunk) and working steering.
