Evening all It's about 21:20 or so here, watching "A Touch of Frost" (detective series) on TV, well worth watching if you get it over there. Weather's been odd - sunny and raining at the same time. Came home over the mountains today due to the number of roadworks on the main route, takes longer but the scenery is worth it. Interesting comments about wildlife - we have the odd robin in the garden, a few blackbirds bouncing around, and assorted other feathery things - not sure what half of them are but they're kinda noisy. One in particular that decides to sing outside my window at 1am is both a nuisance and puzzling - it's dark out there, people are trying to sleep, and the dozy thing starts singing! We do have a resident squirrel but I guess it must still be hibernating - not seen it for a few months. Visited one of the LHS today, came away with a couple of Parkside Dundas 009 (4mm scale on 9mm gauge track) plastic kits - one 4 wheel coach and one 4 wheel guards van, both Vale of Rheidol prototypes (the 2ft gauge tourist line that runs from Aberystwyth out into the hills). Not sure if I'm planning to build anything layout-wise in 009, but I liked the look of the kits and wanted to do some building. Current status is the coach is a roofless shell needing painting and the interior adding, then underframe and roof. The kit is really well designed though the instructions need some careful reading - they suggest you fit the glazing early on (rather than painting it first as I plan to)! Have a good weekend all, think there will be a lot of decorating going on here as my brother's room is still unfinished and the carpet's due to arrive on the 15th!
