More Working On The Railway,
roundhouse tracks in place,
after checking that the motor and gearbox works on the turntable it was time to glue it in place,
I want to give the appearance of age, so I am adding plaster between the rails that Diana will colour the next time we are upstairs,
I just mix plaster with water and use a large syringe to apply it between the tracks,
it looks a mess, but I know where everything is, I think!
and spread with a small brush,
Diana is helping out with "ageing" some of the wagons,
and some of the buffers,
plaster applied so now leave for a couple of days to dry,
when it has dried it is a easy job to clean it from the top of the rails,
Diana has painted this wagon to make it look old and rusty,
all to soon and it is time to go, we are off to Theprisit night market,
I think many stalls must be feeling the pinch, sale signs everywhere,
food stalls at the far end of the market,
this is halfway, if you go down here it will bring you to the car and bike parking,
looking towards the food section,
shoes 120 baht a pair, and that was what Diana was looking for, the day before Diana broke one of her shoes whilst we were fishing so two new pairs had to be bought,
more bargains,
then a phone call from Mike to say he and Riza had arrived, so it was off to the beer bar,
the girls had already meet up and started to bring back shopping for us to look after,
then it was back to eat, in my case sushi and local bits and pieces for the girls, Mike had already eaten,
we then settled down to watch Fred Dibnah, we both thought it would be a series with him as the commentator, but it was made after his death, still worth watching, but after a time it became a sort of "When Fred was around" with an endless number of experts all telling us about Fred, which pleasant though it was it was not what I had expected when I bought it, never mind volume 2 next week!
after that something completely different, Pitch Black, set many years into the future, great special effects, maybe next week we will watch Riddick if Mike has not seen it, then a few more drinks after Mike and Riza left then off to bed.
