Sadly we too lost one of our furry friends last week. Our tortie matriarch Mollie had to be put to sleep on Friday evening. Fifteen years old and with us from a tiny kitten, she had been poorly for a while, but last week things got too much for her and quality of life was suffering, so we made the difficult but kindest decision for her.

Boss of the household, our three other cats are still looking for her nearly a week later..

Not the world's biggest footie fan, but we both watched last night's game. DR Congo were, on the whole, excellent, their keeper was incredible. As for England, I think we lacked a little something, and took far too long to get going. Kane did his usual trick of appearing to do nothing for the entire match, until he did, well, something. His second goal was immaculate, I thought.
Am I getting up early for the Mexico game? Nope.

Thanks all for your kind words, they are all appreciated. We're gradually getting used to an 'empty' house, and also not having to get up quite so early.

I rebuilt one that I obtained on ebay before they were re released as kits and decided to use an N-drive chassis similar to that which I had fitted to 1363. I had to change the motor as the one supplied was too big - even after that I had  to carve a significant amount of metal to make the chassis fit

Just wanted to say Hi and wish my fellow Canucks, and friends around the world a happy Canada day from the left hand coast of the True North Strong and Free!

I feel very privileged to call Canada my home, even though I do wish there were more trains here on Vancouver Island! (I've seen them both lol!)

Yes, heard that before and like @Newportnobby , it's not my cup of coffee either - I too don't drink tea.

Jim Stafford. Pretty good player.

That's cool. I never heard of Suno before and when I looked it up, all I could find was AI. Good job in getting it all tuned in. Sounds awesome!

Wow, very nice! Suno? AI?

Thank you!

Suno.

It's pretty cool if you're not freaked out by AI.

I've been writing lyrics to life stories and it's been cool hearing them in songs.
