Random fun personal activities.
Today we visited the dolls house fair in York, at the race course.
It is a regular event in June and November and we try to visit if we can. It is a good source for miniature and dolls house accessories, and the cost sometimes makes it more economical to buy then to make many things.
This visit was no different, though there were not as many stalls this time. However, I still managed to buy a few things to help out with my miniature projects. Continue reading “York Dolls House Fair”
…of two projects today. One is a personal project and the other is a repair job. Continue reading “Assembly and disassembly…”
…in this lamp switch box! Continue reading “Not enough space….”
I haven’t blogged for a while.
This has partly been because I have been too busy with other work stuff but mainly because website upkeep doesn’t come naturally to me. However, I will try to blog more now that my Wife, Sue, has taken over the running of the site and has put up a new page of Projects to show what we have been working on.
But today we have been at a repair cafe, one of three that we regularly attend now. This time I repaired a power supply wire for a phone music dock, and a 45 year old transistor radio. I wasn’t able to repair the fancy steam iron as the heating element in the steam pressure tank had failed but the client will contact the manufacturer regarding spares or repair service as a last resort.
Also today I am attempting to write this blog while sitting in a cafe in Chorlton having lunch. I am writing it on a Planet Computers Gemini PDA, the modern replacement for my long dead, and much loved Psion 5 Organiser.
This will explain the lack of photos, formatting, and hyperlinks. I will work all that out another day.
Now, another cuppa tea is needed….
…Waits for no man, so the saying goes. As it was going to be a relatively short visit to the Time and Tide museum in Great Yarmouth I decided to record some video to help jog my memory later on. Continue reading “Time and Tide…”
…For Horsey in Norfolk! We are near here for our holiday and had the opportunity to see seals close up! Continue reading “A seal of approval…”
It has been a while since I posted here, and a while since the last Three Things Thursday. Continue reading “Three Things Thursday 10 August 2017”
Three Things Thursday is something I have found from my friend, The Snail of Happiness. Continue reading “Three things Thursday 15 June 2017”
…in our local community this evening.
We went out to visit Eccles Mosque for their Taste Ramadan. It was an open invitation to the whole community to share the breaking of their fast. An opportunity to learn more about the mosque, the Islamic community who worship there, and to share food with them. Continue reading “Prayers and music…”
…Yoast SEO and all the ways to improve the searchability of my business website when, to be honest, I don’t want ‘everyone’ to find it! Continue reading “Funny learning about…”
