My enthusiasm is firing on all cylinders, but.......

Well my man cave is in the loft and when the weather is hot it turns into a sweat box so I won't be doing any modelling myself but I will be getting the Honda CBX out and having a play on that instead.
other than that just sitting on the sofa in my underpants surfing the web and watching TV etc. I also have a few project things in the garden that need finishing.

Guess it's not a leather sofa then?


My man cave is also my home office, we now have nets at the window with rods holding it in place - this means the window can be opened fully without risk of stupid cat walking on the slippery ledge. However, been wicked busy in the last few months so I have done no modelling for about 6 weeks! Luckily I am on call next two weekends, so as long as no customers call wanting assistance (good because I get paid more for that, bad because I have to answer them) then that usually leaves me plenty of model time. New GB to get started as well as progress on my A10.

Summers are always a slow time. well this side of the great divide...My excuse is having just moved house, there are other (more important according to swmbo) things to do...

if the boss wants to go out when the weathers good I go out and sneak back to it later .

[PaulTRose]

dosnt bother me to be honest.....not one for hot weather, prefer to keep out of the sun, and with swmbo's disabilities she dosnt want to go out in it much either. as we live only 100m from the sea we get a nice breeze most of the time

Seasons not that much of an issue, but in winter you only go out when needed ie; to clear snow, bring in wood, hunt etc.. but I do have modeling projects I'd like to do. Just need to structure my time a bit. Fishing is on now so have to make time for that also, but being retired there's plenty of time for everything even the Mrs................Jim

Glad to hear the Mojo is still strong Ron! My problem is too many builds and its always summer here basically. I have to divide my time between flying RC planes ,building plastic or making Balsa dust! I've got too many projects! 1/7 scale RC P-40,plastic 1/100 747 and wrapping up a 1/7 scale F7F Tigercat on the bench and I just ordered a kit to be cut from plans for a 114" span RC Ta-152 . Then I look at all the kits in the stash and just shake my head ,I'm gonna run outa time before I hit the bottom of the pile for sure!

With weather like this and four motorcycles to choose from I'm afraid modelling is a lot lower down the pecking order! Then when I'm back at home a cold beer on the patio while I look across the fields and listen to the birds does it for me. All too soon it will be chucking it down again, then the modelling might just get a look in!

Just been to B & Q. Bought two fans. One for her in the lounge one for me in my model room.


She only wants to stay in.


I want to stay in to make models.


54 years years married to day. o_O


Both very cool and happy.


Forgot card. Black mark but have given her, Pauline that is wife of Laurie , of 54 years choice of celebration venue for Sunday Lunch.

Laurie


PS marriage day July 61 hottest day for 14 years. In church perspiration dropping from my shoulder blades (weighed then 8stone 12 lbs) on to my backside

Congratulations Laurie, you are well ahead of me and mine on 54 years, almost double in fact. Enjoy the fans and enjoy your celebratory lunch!


Did we have global warming in 1961....I think not. When I was at school a few years after that the current scare story was a new ice age. We were all supposed to be under a kilometre of ice by 2050


Cheers

Thanks Steve very kind. A glass will be raised to you boys back here (very small sip actually).


Think it was the very wet in the nether regions age. Temperature around 32 degrees. I was soaked.


The last ice age occurred in the winter of 1947 ice and snow covered the roads and pavements for about 6weeks with out a break.


Remember it well as even the snowmen complained about frost bite.

Good man, all blokes should do this!

I have vague memories of the '62-'63 winter. We were living in Rhoose at the time and I do remember a lot of snow and that the sea froze. It was definitely balls off brass monkeys weather


Cheers

I remember in 85 it snowed in June , the only thing false about climate change is man is causing it !

[Guest]

Oh yes. Arrived in Jersey to live March 2nd 1962. Came over on a Dakota they called them Dakmasters.


Captain came on during the flight.


"Do not worry the bangs are lumps of ice falling off the wings and hitting the fuselage".


Well now this was my first flight. Up hill to get to your seat plus the Murray Mint given out for ear popping.


Mints were nice but did nothing to alleviate the excruciating ear pain.


63 was worse except for plumbers.
