Argyle and friend D.

Sad defeat especially to Backpool, uni prof will be happy though. Heard from friend D. yesterday. He's not too well at present and will need surgery. My thoughts are with him.

tomorrows game

How will they do?

Tuesday and Wednesday

Great one Argyle - you can still make it.

Went to Tyntesfield with Mrs M and friend E on Wednesday. Strange house. E. very taken with Roof when viewed from scaffold whilst works on refurbishing going on.

Signal Box alterations

No doubt anyone reading the title will wonder what I'm going on about, ah-ah, the signal box is the space in the roof space above my Den (Study) and which is the home for my model railway. Have all but finished the construction of the new baseboards for Mitcheldean (and Newnham Light Railway) Mark V.

Pity about defeats for Argyle, Albion and England. All three games close but all went the wrong way. Mrs M has been trying to set up her own website - I think she's winning (I hope). Watch this space.

Tuesday's Win - Utility Room and Signal Box

Great Win by Argyle over City. Keep at it.#

Finally brought sink into use in Utility Room - got to try to keep Mrs M happy.

Be able to get on with Signal Box and building modular boards for Mitcheldean Mark V.

'tother half

Just been looking at my tother half's blog , sometimes known as the household authorities. Still can hear her "moaning" from the main room about me not being there at the moment. Well I can't write on this blog and help in the kitchen, now can I, despite doing most of the cooking tonight.

Good job I still l*** her!!!!!!

Footie and Footie

Goodbye Micheal Foot, nice that your Argyle scarf went with you.

Big game at home tonight as we take on local rivals Bristol City. Do it for Footie lads.

Meanwhile big signal box clearout gathering pace.

Picture from BBC Devon website - hope I haven't contravened copyright - if so sorry, but Footie would have been happy.

6 months

Day of draws for both the Pilgrims and England. Keep fighting Argyle.

Last Thursday was 6 months anniversary of my heart quadruple by-pass surgery. Although thgey weren't to know the faulty genes were passed on to me via my father - died of heart failure - by my paternal grandfather - also died of heart problems. Problem with faulty genes is that often by the time you find out about them you have already passed them onto your children. So it is likely that my daughters - who I have no contact with - will not only have the faulty heart arteries but also the coeliac gene. That was passed down through my father's mother who was of Irish descent. Mind you she did the most lovely roast potatoes without fat(!). celave.

Made big decision - am going to totally rebuild model railway - Mitcheldean mark V will arise from the ashes of mark IV.

Bugg****

Both her and I went down with some sort of bug over the past 5 days.

Up to Sunday ok and managed to lay most of new floor in signal box.

Sad to hear of death of Michael Foot. Never agreed with his politics - too sociallist for me bot kept to his guns no matter what - more than can be said about leaders of present main parties.

Saw MF at a game at Cardiff many moons ago - no posh seat for him then - no he was down with the ordinary Argyle supporters - think we drew.

Willy Rushton

Well actually model of Ruston diesal I am building in O9 scale. Plus despite England's and Argyle's defeat both sides seem to be improving. Been getting rid of more rubbish from loft and signal box (!). Amazing the things you hang on to.
