Already 10 years in the making and now I seem to find the time again. It's a very relaxing experience. Currently planking the hull the state of my build is something like this (this is not me in the picture) These things always looked really satisfying to build, but I'm an ADD'er. Something like that would take me 50 years. As a kid I didn't have the patience to build my Lego sets either. My mother had to help me with that.

I hear you. there are times when it took me 3 days to lay one plank. Tapering, then soaking in water, then gluing, then removing pins. Three days, one plank. It's like writing a novel, writing one word every three days. But these days it goes much faster. I hope I can finish this one day. but the fun is all in the building. when it is done, all I can do is look at it. It's ok, as long as I have fun with it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) A major crisis occurred as I ran out of my customary brand of tea, Ringtons, their door-to-door service ceasing as a consequence of corona. I bought some Tetley, bog-standard builders' brew shite, and it was completely unpalatable, however I have now discovered that Ringtons possess a mail order so: crisis averted. They also sell biscuits and other delectables so a valuable resource, https://www.ringtons.co.uk/ PS The only ''sport'' on is WWF wrestling which I have just watched on channel five, minus a crowd which made it a bit strange. Some Scottish chap v The Big Show - I actually remember The Big Show. If you are desperate... Or apparently Belarus are still stubbornly running their football fixtures. I have no idea if any channel is carrying it, but if they aren't they should! Edited April 12, 2020 by DieselDaisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been stuck indoors with the electric heating drying out my skin. So I slathered a bunch of coconut oil onto my face to moisturize. I forgot it was there and went out for my walk. My face was wet, distorted and shinning with the oil. People didn't know what to make of it an kept their distance! And then the real doozy was around the half way point of my walk - the oil started melting into my eyes at which point I couldnt see and was walking with arms outstretched like a literal zombie Good tip. They probably thought you had a raging fever 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gambling sites I'm on screen the games but only if you have put a bet on. Very poor quality but them Belarusian lads put their all into it.

DieselDaisy Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I knew somebody would do that but I thought it would be Dazey. The true awfulness of British day time television is magnified. Come Dine With Me, Four in a Bed (nope, it's sadly not a porno), Escape to the Country, Escape to the Chateau (a spin-off of the aforementioned), Dinner Date - and endless repeated cookery shows.

I got rid of normal TV about 5 years ago. Been using streaming sites and torrents only since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
