Today I shall be Mainly...

[Sue]

It's dried up here nicely Sue and we have plenty of sunny spells. I'm glad you will be able to finish Lucy's dress.... I wonder how many of her contemporaries have made anything like that....?

Not many, its one of my bought patterns but cut out in her size. Its a very difficult dress that I have struggled with before , but she liked the style

[Stanley]

I think it's wonderful that you are helping her Sue. Where else could she find mentoring like that? She will never forget you!
I shall be in the shed early doors working on my castings. Not sure where I'll be going this morning. I am very close to a tear down and painting session......
I can feel a pork belly session coming on but might postpone that for a couple of days....

[Stanley]

I had to decide this morning where I wanted to go next. I decided to bite the bullet and get set up ready for painting, one of my least favourite jobs! So I wasn't in the shed for long this morning, all I did was break the castings down to their component parts. Now I shall have breakfast and second sleep....

Morning

Off to the Isle of Man today, with a tour. We shall be back su day afternoon. We have a taxi booked for 9.00 am to Rochdale station . We have a train to Bolton , then Lancaster and a taxi to Heysham in time for the lunch time ferry. Its an organised trip but with lots of free time. The forecast over there is sun, windy and 12 degrees today with rain overnight to a wet day tomorrow. Have a good day all

[Stanley]

I hope you have a good break Sue....
I am up again after four hours of second sleep. All seems to be well so far. I shall brew a pot of tea and consider my options....
