Welcome to my new Blog



Welcome to my Blog.
My Blog is mostly about my hobbies, ie Model boats, Cross Stitch, Gardening, Days out and about, Lego Technics and Photography you might recognize the hat rather than me. My models and other hobbies can be found in the Tabs at the top below the header picture.
There will also be entries of days out with my camera, weather permitting of course.

Second week in June 2025.

 Been a good week this week with Monday being the day my drivers seat in my car was replaced as there was a split in the side of the backrest material, so they ordered a new one when I bought it. It took three and a half hours for them to do the job whilst I sat on the most uncomfortable chairs imaginable, if one fell asleep one would have slid off and ended on the floor!.

Tuesday was better with the arrival of my new electric vehicle!, (don't be silly now), It was my electric BED, two really big black guys carried it upstairs and whilst one was setting up the electrics the other one carried the mattress up on his own!!, its a really good mattress, it's just that he was so big too.


There was a free mattress cover and I'd bought some new fitted sheets in green.
 

All set up, but no new quilt covers on yet.

Bit different than the night before when I'd slept on the floor!.

First morning in the new bed overslept for the first time in years, very comfortable!.

My side table in the living room, the Fablon didn't like bending over the edges 

So it was on to Plan B, trim the edges and paint it black.

Then my good friend Jean, offered me some edging she had over from her kitchen, and I think it's great and just the right size!.

She also brought me a bungee cord for my car as my shopping kept falling out when I opened the side opening boot!, sorted now.

Ford didn't think it mattered when us Brits drove on the left, but if you open the boot to unload at your door, the boot door is in the wrong position for us!. still it's better than walking into the raised hatch lid which I used to do on a regular basis.

Been over to the Gorton lower ressers this week and the cygnets are all doing well.

Bought a couple of new plants for Alfie's box this week, 
Re-potted, not sure what it is though.
Alfie doing well, this is a typical dinner for him, think he lived on Kale at his previous home!.

While in the garage using it for a Hide to watch the birds, 
found this frame for the plant in the bedroom, can climb all it wants to now.

Not much in the garden in the way of birds, but it was in the afternoon, so only young house sparrows enjoying the food.

Here is an adult enjoying the suet pellets.

There was a nice narrow boat at Portland Basin on Tuesday by the way.

So a good week, and starting off this week, dinner with the family today for Fathers Day!.
