And A Plague Of Locusts Did Descend

[electron1100]

Had a brilliant weekend thanks Mike, Mat, Paul And Al, they all came down and helped re-arrange and move all my excess gear in the loft and garage, much fun was had and food (eventually) and drink, it was just like old times so thankyou all for coming.

However on Saturday after they had all re-organised my loft they said they would go and tidy up the garage and i was to stay at the house as they could do it better with out me there as i am not so well, seemed a sensible idea, well i went to the garage today and I am sure i had more machines and spares, but who knows maybe they re-arranged them all so well it just looks different now, i did try ringing a few of them but the number they gave me were no longer available, it must have been a mix up :-|

Here is a picture of the garage before they came

well done

Gary,

looks great, and you can sit at the table and enjoy every tumble and spin. And hours of will it or won't it balance in the aqualtis will be a distant memory.

Now about all these spares I'm tripping over.

Bitter Sweet.

Hi Gary.
in the depressing circumstances, I think we made the best of the weekend and despite the stress caused to you, the food was GREAT.
Always remember that all you need to do is give us a nudge and machines can be switched round, should you ever fancy a change.

BUT the A3190 looks superb in its new setting!
So that is why you didnt want us to move the machines upstairs

Happy home based, first generation electron-ing.
Paul

Hope you are well rested after looking after us all over the weekend Gary, for me I really enjoyed the weekend, fun and laughter and "You Will Eat My Nimbles, Turkey, Trifle and MORE"...Lol

It was also a bittersweet moment as well, we all understand and know first hand your passion of weshers and repairing them, no - not repairing, tuning them to perfection and to have to make the decision to move them on and start a new phase of life, it brought home just how precarious and precious life is, really felt for you....

BUT, get sorted and make the trip to see them, well if they are still there, I hear fleebay is gonna need more gigabytes this weekend!!

ToodlePip!!

And thanks for the Hi-NRG mix, Bobby O`s blasting in me cans!!

"You have Beautiful Lips!...

It was a scene from Abigails Party as Gary prepared us a festive feast - started off with 70`s nibbles, horses duffers and all that, anyone for a cocktail sausage with ya nuts!!

Cheese and Pinapple is still surprosingly very refreshing on the pallette!!

 

[chestermikeuk]

Christmas Dinner...

Turkey Anyone, amazing value those PEK birds are, even better out the hamper @ a pound a week!!

 

[chestermikeuk]

For afters...

Trifle with Dream Topping!!

 

[chestermikeuk]

And

"Arctic Roll"

At This Point..

Even the Director of Logistics and Spreadsheets lost the will to move, and as we groaned and drank our way from the table it was unanimous that we would stay over another night and have an early start!!

Early in the morning I went to look for a teabag and couldnt believe what I found in the kitchen - well the secrets out - fancy serving ya guests this stuff, tut...

ps, the vodka and black russians hit the spot!!
