Don’t do MDF, THINGS WITH WINGS——or their bath houses, - RODENTS OR REPTILES—- build your own and stop whinging Phill.Quote:

Daughter Sam put me on WhatsApp but I’m crap at using it——— try sending some foggies—— you could get lucky !Quote:

You know when you get your head down and your arse up——— rushing down the road at breakneck speed————- eyes on the object.
Afraid I got carried away with the concept——- I’m halfway through it and know already what I have to do for the next one.
As Phill Collins says———- just another day for you and me in paradise——-2:30 am, her sleeping next to me digs me in the ribs and says, You asleep? ——- not any more, what’s up? I have this terrible pain in my tummy——— Ok, on a scale of one to ten, how bad is it ? Nine she says——— that’s when the alarm bells begin to ring. Now her who shall be obeyed at all times has a pain threshold that a Sumaria warrior wishes he had, so now I’m a tad concerned———- sorry, you have to call an ambulance, I need to go to the hospital. Crap and corruption——- she’s only been out after the new hip for barely a week and she’s off again.
Sure enough at 2:45 am, the paramedics carted her off with the flashing blues and two’s. By now my eyes would not stay open so went back to sleep again!
First light and it’s time to take the dog for its daily walk in the woods, paradise day has just begun !
Old cove in a hoody with a scythe over his shoulder comes up the path——- been waiting for you——so I told him——— Sex and Travel matey, don’t have time to stop and talk to you—— Here’s the deal, I’ll call you when I’m ready! I keep missing you he says———- so I told him Chas’s favourite quote———- Somedays you eat bear———- other days, the bear eats you——— bye bye matey, catch on the flip flop.
6:300 my cellphone rings——- ok, you can come and get me, I’m at the A & E ——— Apparently her in the hospital has Gallstones. She’s been “Sorted”, Need to take her back this afternoon to get the hip dressing replaced, with updates on the stones etc.
Its going to be a long day in my part of paradise!
Seems like you just can't catch a break. We are like old cars...the more miles we have on us, the more repairs we need. Fortunately, a gall bladder surgery is like a prick on the finger compared to the hip replacement. I had mine removed a few years ago and it was day surgery with about three hours in the hospital and then home. Wishing Jill a speedy recovery and better days ahead....

Think we’re more like “Jalopy’s” —— Boneshakers Or Tin Lizzies ——— might have been a bit of quality there a long time ago, but what the hell, we’re still rolling!Quote:

Just be sure to keep a safe distance between Phill and the Lexus keys...Quote:

Zimmer frame is now obsolete and she’s walking a lot straighter, although she’s on crutches!
Talks begin next Wednesday on the gall stone removal———- should be straight forward——- there’s no waiting list, so she should be back to normal PDQ.
Managed a couple of hours in the shop——- ditched most of the concept and started doing it all afresh.
Looking better already—— May have a progress picture By the weekend———- on the lookout for six Porkies of any kind——— 911s——- Can am—— Le Mans——- Carreras——- a la the centre piece at Goodwood.
Another day another dollar——— Thursday again——- seems like it’s always Thursday these days——- see if I can find six porkies at the car boot sale ——- according to “Sods Law” either the price will be sky high, or they’ll all have gone into hibernation!
Hot weather persists——- hose pipe bans in operation—— lawns all over the country look like deserts.
Coming up seven weeks of no rain.
Hope to get in a good deal of shop time today——- I’m getting withdrawal symptoms!
Trouble with a car boot sale is——- there are specialists who only deal in the one thing, like models, be it cars, boats, trains and planes. These guys tend to be a tad expensive for the stuff I do.
Now if the normal house clearance merchants and housewives clearing out the kids toys have any model cars on the table——— then I’m in with a shout, today I ate bear?
Came across a table full of brandfire new Corgi and Dinky toys——- sixteen sports and racing cars including Aston Martin -Ferrari -Porche—McLaren—Lotus etc, . Deal was, I had to buy the lot——— thought about it ( for about two seconds) bit the bullet and got the lot. Only need six of them for my new Goodwood Concept.
Will definitely be able to post a progress piccie tomorrow——— been cooking with gas all afternoon, had to do a rethink on the fulcrum point———— was just a couple of degrees out in my calcs——- made the whole thing look like it was pissed as a fart.
Knew it was time to walk away from it until tomorrow.
