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.

Friday, 5.4.2024.

Yesterday I got my order of some lighting tubes from Amazon, 6 LED tubes at 10 watts each and all the fittings for each to be fitting individually or in any configuration you  fancy. 


You might remember I'd changed my neon strip light in the garage from this. 

To this which didn't look right in a garage, which made me look on Amazon for something more industrial looking.

 Came up with this bargain of 6 tubes and all the fitting for them at £39.99.

This is three of the tubes joined with connectors, plugs at one end and blanks at the other, very easy to fit once you've studied the attached instructions. 


So that's only 30 watts and a better light as it spreads it round better.



One of my friends Christmas pressies, came in very handy as the screws provided were very (My Newt) minute.
3 cross and 3 straight drivers in very small scale.

 Today went over to Debdale,  (it was raining of course) to see the Hearts_Mural on the sailing clubs wall, as the chap saw my comments on the Debdale website that I thought it was finished and he commented that it wasn't and had added some Bees on it!.

 There they are and then I noticed an owl silhouette in the tree, some detail to be added to that I'm sure if the other murals I've seen at Reddish Vale are anything to go by.


There's even a beehive on the other side!. 

Had some dinner at Sainsburys and shopping done, it was home again in the rain, and there was another friend to welcome me.

Remember the small marked table I'd bought at Pear Mill the other day, had another idea .


Here it is now covered in vinyl and the edges painted with acrylic paint in stock. 
Won't ever be folding it will I.




I'd ordered some brass switch plates to replace the two dimmer switches I'd changed and it's taken 8 days to come today from the suppliers though ordered through Amazon.


So both fitted and back to normal now.

Then on the other hand ordered this tester last night at 7pm and it was in my porch by dinnertime today!, how is that for service and free delivery with Prime membership. 


Chinese of course and stickers all over the instructions!, perhaps they had heard that most men never read the instructions in the UK!.

Don't think Alfie likes this pressie one of my friends bought me, he keeps trying to shove it off the hearth.

Will keep checking the Heart_ mural again, though the weather is probably holding the painter up.
