As the Clocks Fall Back...

Will you be using that extra hour for any modelling activities?

I think I shall use it tonight, not for a lie in tomorrow...and see if I can come up with a basic plan for my N gauge ambitions

Might give me more time for thinking about layouts and stuff as I endure the extra hour of insomnia.

We tried the daylight-saving lark in Queensland a few decades ago but gave it up as a bad idea.
Curtains faded, chooks didn't lay, cows didn't give as much milk, babies wouldn't settle, stinking hot going home at 4pm; disaster.

All this because the southerners couldn't figure out how to set their alarms an hour earlier.

Reminds me of these lines from a song

John Williamson – It's A Way Of Life

Real country people in their prime,
Livin' in New South on Queensland time

Forgot as usual so thanks for reminder.

We've got guests staying so no modelling

and now we've got another hour for the pubs to open for 'hair of the dog' and a nice roast lunch.

They're German and have brought some lovely sausages for breakfast so not so bad.

Will try and do some modelling later when they've gone but I think I'll be lured by the Sofa Siesta Siren.

Cheers weave

Spent Friday afternoon offloading the products of IKEA into my Sister in law to be's new flat.

She has got herself a brand new 2 bed in a new development in Bristol. I am not normally a fan of new-builds, but one is rather smart (but certainly not cheap).

I found myself looking around planning where the layout would go and the big TV and the beer fridge......

In a past life perhaps!
