Thursday – 30/11/2017 – It’s National Model Railroad Month!

Whohoo-we’re almost at Friday!

I’m going swimming tomorrow or rather, playing the pool. I still can’t bend my knee to swim so I do basic pool exercises. It’s good though. Yea Vikings! I opened TDK and realize I didn’t send my post. *sigh*

Io sono così carino, nighty notte
(I am so cute, nighty night)

Great pics, all! Thank you.

MS, if you get the aftermath of Oz weather you could be in for an interesting time. Melbourne’s 12-day stretch of over 30C (a record for November) is forecast to end tomorrow, with a three-day downpour expected to give us a whole summer’s worth of rain.

Hi everyone! Cats on the tracks shouldn’t surprise me…just like a cat to lay on them and cause a delay! And pushing the train off the tracks made me laugh! What in the world would we do without their silliness?

It’s raining here today, started a couple of hours ago. Not cold at all, but the stove feels plenty nice with the dreariness outside. Avery is asleep on the floor on a fleece blanket and pillow. I’m feeling a little drowsy myself.

I had a good playtime in the pool and we gossiped. Now that I’m home, I’m getting caught up on “Un Village Francais.” We have a channel (MGz) on CenturyLink that’s for the Globally minded Individual. 🙂

I saw The Eagle and the Palermo Connection, as well.

Good stuff

I don’t know if this is going to affect folks East of Denver but we’re expecting a cold front starting on Tuesday through next week. Hopefully, we’ll get some snow. It’s so dry here and makes for bad summer.

I’m back to my show

Cya

Good afternoon all.
PollyMonster, I saw about the forecast terrible weather for Melbourne and Victoria. It sounds terrible. I have a niece and family living in Melbourne and hope they are all set for the downpour. Where I live we seem to get what is left of Sydney’s terrible weather if it makes it over the ‘ditch’ so probably not the Melbourne storms. We havve had a week of afternoon thunderstorms,torrential rains and flooding and hail further down country from my area although it has been slowly getting closer by the day. It has been a very unusual weather pattern. Over 30C for 12 days is terrible. We’ve been in the early to mid 20’sC this week and it has been quite uncomfortable some days. Luckily we had rain overnight.
Jk you reminded me that my brothers had a train set when I was little, I didn’t often get a chance to play with it though. My FIL had a fantastic model railway with mutiple tracks, tunnels etc on several levels and all the buildings that go with it and little people. We were only allowed to look at it when he operated it. Men and their toys ! !
PG, fun at the pool sounds great.
KJ, lol I remember Petticoat Junction.
Had the sutures in my mouth removed this morning and then took Mum to the garden centre and we bought plants

🙄 🙄 🙄 It is very seldom that we don’t. I will be planting out Delphiniums, Italian parsley, Spring onions(scallions) and one yellow low acid tomato this afternoon.
HRH has been a pain in the butt lately refusing to come inside at night until she WANTS to. Grrrrrrr

Hi all – model railroading brings fond memories of dad and his trains.
Hey, an earthquake was felt in these parts! A 4.1 centered in Delaware and felt for miles. Guessing minimal damage.
It’s a chilly evening and a small batch of rain is coming through. Dewey is in for the night. Leela is a satisfied puddle by the fire, Comet found a new nest upstairs, and Mac is watching my every move.
