YOU AINT NEVER GONNA BELIEVE THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was asked if it was really necessary to go back in the shop after dinner on a Saturday night. You are over ninety . I dont need reminding .
...agreed, no reminding needed for you j.w.:smiletest: ...out of pure coincidence on that subject, i just learned tonight that my brother-inlaw, who is only in his seventies, and a vietnam veteran, has to be admitted & looked after, by the veterans administration here, due to his advanced dimentia symptoms. sad. very, very funny guy. really like him. his name is jack...
Was nearly ten years ago when the only medium i had was firewood—even the motors — but i did try to find HARDWOOD . Should finish all three this next week , FINALLY !Quote:

I do try not to show stuff thats no where near ready but this ones a bit different. Needed to think outside the box and do something a bit more creative ——up to date !!!!!! How would an impressionist or a modern go about showing Italian craftsmanship ???? Then there‘s the presentation —- needed to be new and present day or even futuristic . So I’m giving you a first look at something i have been quietly fernagling for the last cheek or so . Must confess that English oak is the wrong choice for for a „“RIVABBATTE“ —- lets see what transpires ———-„“MUST DO BETTER“

Doesn’t look much for eight hours work does it?? Colour was all wrong —-still is, but im getting there . trick is to get a high lustre polish . It is really tactile.
Change from the usual routine today , going to meet my god daughter Georgina down at THE WITTERINGS . Small village at the end of a peninsula .[Englands answer to cape cod or Martha’s vineyard].
HAVENT clapped eyes on her for damn near thirty years , she buggered off to Australia and got involved with hay burners . Made a life for herself out there . I will post a couple of piccies . It’s a posh late buffet lunch on the beach. Gorgeous day for it ,wall to wall sunshine .
sod all work will get done today, going with Sam and Clive , Should be very interesting !!!!!
Chatting to an old acquaintance of yours on the weekend, Rory Power, OOD for the Thailand race I just did.

Lovely get together with my god daughter Georgina . Some thirty years since i last saw her . Was only here For two days, flew straight in to Scotland for her brothers wedding ——then a 600 mile trip to sussex for a lunch with me . Flies back to OZ tomorrow crack-o-sparrow . Youngsters today do pack a quart into a pint pot .
Listening to her stories of delays and officialdom does not exactly make me yearn to travel again just yet. Give it a few months to settle down before i even start to think of a vacation.
