I know we're a third of the way through the
year already, don't quite know how that happened, but there you go; time waits
for no man, and as you get older it goes faster, that's a fact! No - it is;
it's a subconscious trick you play on yourself as it’s a percentage of
life-lived! So I do know how that happened . . . Doh!
Still, clock's go back Saturday night
(another hour stolen from us!), so if you're lining-up one of Sunday's shows,
bear that in mind and the weather is supposed to hold for a day or two - only
the six events this week . . .
. . . AND - Guys; It's also Mother's Day
on Sunday!
□ Chocolates
□ Card
□ Plant or Flowers
□ Meal/Meal Out/Day Trip
Everything's happening this weekend, except
the one thing we've been told would 'absolutely be happening on the 29th' for
the last two years! Britain's becoming the world's comedy warm-up act for that
obnoxious bellicose trouser-trump over the pond!

Lackadaisical Attitude!
I'm still feeling a bit bleugh, as you may
have noticed from the drop-off in postings, but this is the 'queue' as it
currently stands, along with all the Wild West, Hong Kong and Airfix stuff seen in similar screen-caps
a year ago, so plenty coming/waiting/being prepared and - to that end - I'm still beaver'ing away behind the scenes!
A few things are waiting on a new scanner
which should be up-and-running by the weekend, and I've been photographing
Airfix 'readymades' for most of the week, so I hope to start getting more
output on the Airfix Blog, and yes - I know it needs lots of blurb on previous
posts, but 'everything in its own good time'!

P.S. - Stop the presses, I have a bunch of emails but no time to answer them today, so I'll try to have a session on Monday!
