The glue evaporates so quickly that it's hard to get the ooze to fill the joints. I did a couple when it started warming up,before it got really hot, and one of them opened up, a very poor join indeed.


I've given up modelling but have started doing up some bicycles (one of them properly, the others to be safe and good enough to sell) so that I can clear the shed which is long overdue for replacing. I'm quite enjoying the combination of fresh air, sunshine, WD40, 'back to black' and bike oil fumes

I am really lucky as my modelling is done in an outbuilding attached to the house, it has 3ft thick stone wall which keep it cool in this weather. It also holds the house boiler keeping it warm in winter.

Well, last week the other half was on holiday so I didn't go near the modelling bench.  Sunday, I put a wooden arch kit together in the garden, painted it and set it in concrete and planted climbing roses either side.  It was hot work but I took my time and plodded through it.  Sadly, I took too much time and ended up with quite severe sunburn on my shoulders and back.


Better half returned to work on Monday but I have done nothing.  Cannot sleep due to heat and burnt back so I just mooch about  trying to find the coolest spot in the house.  Oddly, if I was still at work, I would have to wear a cardigan as the air on was too fierce.


Hope to get back to the bench by the end of the week.

As a legacy from my working days in construction (before health and safety and all the nonsense that came with it)  when just boots and shorts were the dress code, and as a consequence, I have skin like parchment, so I'm out in it from first thing in the morning......Loving every minute. It will be autumn soon enough, so I intend to get me as many rays as I can!

I've got one of these thinking it would be the ultimate cooling thing, it's now stuck in a corner not used it for ages using a £5 clip on desk fan, much better

I've nothing at the moment as my teenage son  (the prince) as all the household fans in is bedroom so was thinking of getting another fan but will not be considering the air blade now. I'm surprised it's a bad product. Might just get desktop myself as I'm sure it wont be to long before the rain returns.
