At least that's next year, which is ages away. Plenty time...

Quite right too. I dunno, things have gone to pot over the last couple of years...

Speaking of getting a grip Mr Sheep...
There seems to be an issue with your keyboard old fruit. No I'm not renaming the layout.

Impressive work there Mr P
Thanks Mick. See I can do random, rough and uneven modelling no problem at all. It's the precision, tidy and exquisite work you do that I have problems with.

Cheers chap. I must admit that the building and the process of its conversion has had me question my sanity one or twice. Very pleased with the result though.

Thanks all, much appreciated. Just the rest of the layout to finish now for the first show in April... No pressure.

Must admit that the modelling mojo has taken a bit of a hit the last few weeks. Not sure why but probably a combination of being busy at work, still going through the after effects of a chest infection and a pretty depressing run up to Christmas.
One of the few joys of working in an office this time of year is the socialising and generally having a bit of fun. There were plans for an office get together this year but with hours to go that was cancelled (for the right reasons).
Also, working from home means that, come the Christmas break, you just turn off the laptop. No farewells and best wishes exchanged, nor a crafty pint on the way home. So underwhelming.
Even friends at home are having to isolate and, to be honest, I'm not sure I fancy being in a pub with strangers ignoring masks etc this close to Christmas. Wrapping presents normally puts me in the mood, as does planning the Christmas day menu. Done both and meh...
I was looking forward to the Stafford show at the start of Feb but, again for the right reasons, that has been cancelled. I was to be demonstrating making 7mm buildings and had the Pencarrow stuff all sorted. Would have been great to have met up with folk again.
Weirdly, despite sometimes being likened to a miserable hermit by my good lady, I think I'm actually missing social contact. Who saw that coming? In the current climate I'm not sure what the answer is though.
Anyway, enough with the self pity...

i know what you mean. Best Beloved and I will be spending another quiet Christmas on our own. The neighbours one side have gone away, the other will be spending the day with their family. So, just me, himself and the moggie. Both the last will probably be fast asleep for the duration.
I shall do what I usually do, which is slob out in front of the telly. I really ought to just get on and do things I enjoy - there’s some model aircraft wrangling I should be doing, for example - but what often happens is I lose interest.
The other thing we could do, of course, is spend time on WT chatting nonsense. Maybe we ought to start a thread in the Chat forum, and fill it with stupid jokes and daft quiz questions.
