You're keeping up fine David :) :thumbsup:
That's a really interesting old Lamb I think Dwight :cool: Great pic too my friend :) :thumbsup:
Morning all.
Rosewood goes with the cap😉
Wet Thursday morning had a cold snap down to 55f, & wet. The purple rain has begun from the jacaranda.

Are you sure that purple rain isn't dye running out of your jaunty cap Mitch?! :eek: :D ;) Cool pics :) :thumbsup:
That's a bummer. 😥
I'm very disappointed John, particularly as I had bought some accessories for it, and spent several hours watching videos :( They have offered to exchange it, but I think I'm just going to get a refund :thumbsup:
I overheard my wife and daughter talking about a building nicknamed "The Dalek." They said it was in Leeds. Have you heard of it, Jack Black Jack Black ?

Doctor Who liked lambsfoots, you know.
[My daughter would correct me: "It's 'the Doctor'--'Doctor Who' is not his name!"]
Really Vince?! :D Yes, until recently, it was the tallest building in Yorkshire, built about 15 years ago - pretty disastrously :rolleyes: I remember calling it 'The Dalek' before I'd heard anyone else use the name, but the resemblance is hard not to spot :D I must have dozens of photos of it, probably even some including a Lambsfoot, but I have so many pics, it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack! :eek: Hopefully, you can see why it's called 'The Dalek' :D

The security guard ;) :D

Vince.
You thinking Davros & the daleks were inspired by characters at the markets 😳😳🤣🤣
I can see it Mitch! 🤣 :thumbsup:
Working more on the patina tonight 😉

Mmmmmm 😋

I hope everyone is having a good day. It's never stopped raining here unfortunately, so the market was wet, cold, but not entirely miserable! :D Tool Man was happy with his sammich (which he followed immediately, with a large Bear Claw)! :eek: 🤣

The tool stall was a bit more back to normal in terms of the stock :thumbsup:

Barry The Ted has been building a crossbow for about 2 years, and keeps us all updated each week, and at considerable length. He eschews popular opinion in terms of crossbow manufacture ("Why do I need to use hardened steel, steel IS hard!"), use (insisting on dry-firing it several times), and the law (I just use it in the park)! :eek: Thankfully, nobody was injured at the tool stall, and I suspect Barry might be rather pleased with having a captive audience when he's doing time in one of His Majesty's penal establishments! :eek: :D

On the way back home, I decided to call in at Charlie's for a caffeine pick-me-up. I had thought that Sara's match-making mother had left for Italy, but she is staying a few more days, and I learned that, with no personal input whatsoever, I now have a very attractive girlfriend in Santo Domingo. Thankfully, more than 4,000 miles separate us! :D :thumbsup:

I see it! I knew you'd know all about it, of course. Dangerous building!
My daughter has asked if I will watch Doctor Who with her, and I said "Only the Tom Baker ones!" I looked it up: 1974-1981. Sounds like a lot of episodes!

Can he be sent to Australia? Is that still a penal colony? 😆;)

I have a friend who worked there, when the building first opened, and the construction was so bad, when it rained, the roof leaked, pouring water right down to the lobby, where the security guard had to sit with an umbrella to keep the rain out of his computer! :eek: I haven't seen Doctor Who since Leela The Savage went on her way! :D :thumbsup:

I think that would be too cruel Vince, and probably cause an international incident! :eek: If it does happen though, shares in ear-plugs will sky-rocket! ;) :D :thumbsup:
Souds like a good day at the Market. 🤠:thumbsup:
Got chips and gravy too John! :D ;) :thumbsup:
 
LOL! :D Yes, £1 will get you 2 foot! :D Tool Man will only sell to people who understand Imperial measurements and the pre-Decimal monetary system 🤣 :thumbsup:

Haha! Curmudgeonly geezer, eh? The man is a legend.

I look forward to those days in my life, if I make it long enough. 🤪.

I used to have awesome chops like tool man back in high school. Had to shave them down for culinary school and just went for the beard afterwards. At one point I told Nat it would be fun to bring the chops back and was met with a stern "NO", lol!

Interesting cast of characters jack, thanks for sharing market day each week. I can imagine toting around a crossbow would be frowned upon there? They seem to be very afraid of sharp objects and projectiles in the area, from what I've gathered. It looks a good project though!
