Fit in? Why? Being myself is so much more fun! ADHD is my superpower. I have an obscure sense of humour, will happily string song lyrics together in answers to questions, and can’t resist a challenge (the harder the better). Left leaning, LGBTQIA allay in training, anti-AI.
My spirit animal is an Orangutan crossed with an Octopus. An Ooktopus, if you will.
Follow requests are screened. You’ll need a profile, with picture, and some posts. I don’t always follow back. Nothing personal.
The rear baseboards are *almost* ready for track. The incline along the back is glued in place and covered with cork, ready for the track bed to be glued on. Most of the wiring for that track is in place, there is a small amount of incline work to do at the far end.
The baseboards in front, where the carriage sidings will be installed, are ready but nothing will be done until the incline is finished.
Hoping to have trains running up it by the end of Monday 😬😬😬 as my partner has to work the bank holiday.
Tonight I have been painting buffer stops.
The frameworks are NATO Black, the buffer beams are a mixture of styles. I have a couple of rust pens to finish the job tomorrow.
The Stranglers - Golden brown, because, well…
Madness - House of fun
The Dandy Warhols - Horse Pill
Ian Dury - Sex & drugs & rock & roll
Roxy Music - love is the drug
REM - I’ve been high
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Dosed
Blonde - The tide is high
Ok, that’ll do.
If you put an open jar of Nigella seeds to your ear and listen very carefully you’ll hear something like “The kitchen is the heart of the home” or “I find it best to use the whole pack of butter”.
Today’s new enshitification is Google trying to force me to use Google Drive instead of email attachments to share six small images total size less that 5Mb with the dumb message “images are over 25Mb” when they plainly are not 🙄
I used to think that I only ate during the working day if I was bored. I now realise that I also eat when stressed… so I need to find that happy medium of being busy without being stressed.
Not easy the week before your project goes live!
Stop the presses! I’ve just had an advert served to me on YouTube - Gillette have launched a razor that they say is “perfect for edging”.
Sounds like they’re cutting a lawn! Or something 😜
