Unhappy Thread

Perhaps a geologist in a few million years time will be able to identify the times we are living in today as a distinct dark layer in the sedimentary rock layers, characterised by a high level of lithium, plastic, some traces of other heavy and precious metals, and the stench of long-dead environmental dreams.

Actually I'm sure I saw that episode of Star Trek Voyager not so long ago.

Look on the bright side, there will still be a geologist alive in a few million years time.

Sorry to hear about the health problems John, but, as you say, time to do a bit of modelling. 

[Newportnobby]

Sorry you're crook, John, but the good news is your ticker is OK.

[RailGooner]

Take it easy and hope you get well soon.

99% of my modelling is done in the evening, sometimes quite late depending what I'm doing. I know sometimes I should just stop when I'm tired but you know when you really want to get something done or you're just so far into something you cant stop?.... Well last night in hindsight I shouldn't have even started but I did as I'd got myself all excited about some transfers I want to make. I've done this before and it worked really well so I was determined.

Anyway, it turns out I completely forgot how I did it last time, after a few hours faffing around I finally got them printed on the (expensive) transfer paper after lots of test prints on normal paper and new inks installed.... I then spent ages getting them the right size; measure, cut, offer up, trim, offer up, trim etc... and then onto the plate of water! 

Yep. I totally forgot the spray lacquer step so all the ink just turned the little pool water on the plate into a pretty puddle of expensive ink and transfer paper!

We have all been there and if it's any comfort I did the exact same thing (albeit with a couple of tiny numbers) a couple of weeks back.

Annoying as it is, you won't do it again!

Hope you feel better soon John @JBQFC . East Surrey used to have a poor reputation, but two of my friends have literally had their lives saved there, so I think you are in good hands.

Happy modelling!

Cheers,

Chris

Have a hot toddy, (or two) and go to bed with a cold, but happy.

We went to a golden wedding do 3 weeks ago and one of our friends was full of cold. That was a Friday.  By Sunday, my better half was sniffing but I was OK. By Monday, I was sniffing. Just getting over it now.

If I'm sniffing tomorrow morning after reading your post @Malc , I'll be wondering about a computer virus!

Should be all right, I think I'm past the contagious stage.
