We Had A Nice Surprise This Morning,

Nick, Maureen and Ta-Taa called round for the morning,

they had back brought a few DVD's that they had borrowed,

and gave us a chance to return some of theirs, we had to spoil Ta-Taa water with ice!

for us just tea, it was to early for a vodka soda!

about midday when Nick and Maureen left we went to town, the night before when we were in the Secrets taxi Diana saw this dress, so we just had to find the shop and buy it,

then it was full steam ahead on the trains,

after a sprinkle of turf it was time to add a bit more ground cover, the top of the second tunnel taking shape,

I also added some brown staining so as to look like water seepage running down the hill over the rock face,

more white glue over the hills for more turf,

then a break for yellow water melon and a ice cold orange/soda,

turf now added on the far hills and a bit more ground cover in the foreground,

the tunnels under the hills with turf added,

then some spray glue around the sides and back of the roundhouse,

a few helpful bangs at the bottom of the shaker to help the turf on it's way,

a closeup of the water seeping through and over one of the rock faces,

this one leading to the track side,

for me it looks quite realistic,

I pit some 'grass' between the joints of the tunnel mouth and side wall, but it looks a bit to bright, job if I get time tomorrow to darken it down,

the overall look is for me getting better,

then downstairs for pork chop and chips with peas,

instead of putting the TV on for a change we listen to some music, first Sheherazade composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov,

then The Planets Suite composed by Gustav Holst, it made quite a nice change instead of mindlessly watching TV just for the sake of it, later Mark and Anchasi called in, we were watching House On Haunted Hill, poor Anchasi wanted to look but was to frighten to! then after another couple of episodes of A Year In Kew we were off to bed, tomorrow the truck is in for a service so we have to be at the Nissan garage at 8.30 in the morning, I wonder if Diana will wake up in time to go, also I guess we will spend most of the day there so I guess no work on the trains tomorrow, OK, OK stop cheering!!
