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.

Lock down again, 16.4.2020

Went out yesterday on one of the journeys you are allowed, mine was shopping to Morrisons at Reddish, it was a bit further away from home than Asda around to corner, but Morrisons have a better system to protect you I think. 
This is the queue area, you collect a trolley and get in this queue with marks on the ground to keep one at the right distance!.
It was only about 10 minutes before I got into the store, let in by the security guard on the door, when his mate inside radio'ed him that there was no hold ups at the tills!, shelves were well stocked and everyone inside keeping their distance.
By the way I had my own gloves with me that my son had left me on his visit with some supplies for Pepe and I.
Good system Morrison's well worth the extra mile to get there.
  

Meanwhile back in the garden at the Starling's favourite feeding station at the side of the window.

The regulars to my garden.


This unusually marked pigeon comes every day too.

Pepe brings his little teddy out into the sunshine everyday but he's too hot to play I think as his thick coat has missed its trim at the groomers this month with the lock down.

On the garage wall the dolphins I'd painted and put up about 10 years ago were looking a bit worse for wear, so it was off the wall and into the garage for a good rub down, and not a minute to soon as they looked as though another few months would have seen them too bad to do anything with.

Rubbed down and sanding sealer brushed on, then the back spray painted with some brass paint laying around.
Not sure of the front paint scheme yet!.

Finished another jigsaw this week as well!, this was a tricky one with all that greenery, still it passes the time nicely doesn't it.

This is the next one, this one should see me though to the finish of the lock down or the start of my insanity!.

I'd been wanting a spare battery for my Battery operated jet wash but not sure of the price?, then found out they were £34.99, then saw these little Cubevacs on telly which are the same make has my Jet spray and the same battery, got one on Amazon at £89.99, at £10 cheaper that anywhere else, so it was a done deal and the little vac is a great system with two attachments included.
So my next jet wash in the garden should be a bit better with two batteries to go at.
Get about half an hour with the vac, but shorter obviously with it on booster, great on the stairs and round those little areas round the living room.

Well that's another day in lock down done
Stay safe everyone.

Pepe in happier times at the Windmill in Denton, for a nice carvery.
