We moan plenty when we have problems with mail order suppliers or slow post.  I got a pleasant surprise today.  I ordered some labels and tape for my 'Brother' label machine from 'The Essentials Company' website yesterday about 11am.  The parcel was delivered today by the Postie about 11am.  Only 24hours from order to delivery - amazing!!

Got a meccano set for your birthday, did you, Martin? Very nice.

What are you going to keep in the lower trays?

Interesting Martin. Did you have it made to your own design, or off the shelf. I like the roof bit.

All boys love Meccano!

The bottom trays...don't know yet so they will probably gather rubbish, otherwise known as dirty pots. A few have already appeared.

I'll confess it isn't my own but a Two Wests unit with a custom roof they supplied to my requirements. Diane Clement has one I've admired (coveted) for several years but Diane had problems with water getting under the roof and has modified her unit with an overhanging roof. Mine only overhangs by 3 inches, we shall wait and see if that is enough!

And there was I thinking you were going in for cage birds, once you'd got the sides sorted.  ;D

David, it's double wall polycarbonate. The nasty cut on the back of my hand tells me the edges are every bit as sharp as glass! I feel a modification coming on.

Fingerprints taken and visa granted.  All being well will be on my way to Iran on Easter Saturday.

Should be able to escape the bulk of the election campaigning - Yippee  ;D

Our very best wishes for a great trip, Art!


As for your election hopes.... yes, you may miss the campaign, but will you be able to avoid the consequences??!!  :P
