Notwithstanding other stuff of the day, which sucks, the Spitfire panels are damned fine and things of approaching beauty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
825 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Belated welcome back PC. Glad to hear that despite the trials and tribulations of family life, you and the family are still well despite this awful pandemic. Great work on the Spit, well up to your usual standards.

stevehnz Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Sorry for the Edward, you're starting to make mine seem like angels. I shall have to stop viewing these threads of yours. Carry on with your fumble fingers deviation, decals on the side walls, sheesh, whatever next. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riksbar Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Welcome back PC! Well, with all you’ve gone through recently, time for a new job? 😎 https://joblift.co.uk/details/e846125b-2112-4473-bd8e-660370a3dccd?utm_source=linkedin_uk&utm_medium=external_feed&utm_campaign=579 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 Sorry for the lack of updates, folks. I've been going to bed at 9 PM and waking up at 4 AM to get my work done before the boys awake, and so haven't had much time to myself, especially as Mrs P has pushed their bedtimes back to 7:30 PM. And of course Grant caught another cold, because 'tis the season, and then I got sick, so I have a light cold an took two days off work to lapse into a healing coma (periodically interrupted by Winston giving me highly irrelevant updates about things of no importance). Struggling to get back into the swing of things: it feels like every time I start to get into a routine this year, something new upends it. 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of us can sympathise with you there. So many things we had planned for 2020 simply evaporated, while a load of other worse stuff happened instead. All we can do is try to stay strong and stay safe. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 As already stated, much of what we all planned went South this year. What is required is the sense of humour to see the funny side of things that are not inherently funny. Until you look back at them from a few years in the future and realise how ridiculous it all was! Chin up! ian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) The war will be over by Christmas, no wait that was 1914, hmmm. Being an avid reader of history books, I can’t help but feel this is a bit like the two world wars just without the actual shooting. Planning, yes I do seem to remember that. Hmm Yes the world has been turned upside down. Between COVID and Brexit and of course let us not forget next weeks election ( which may mark the first return to sanity, or may not) Edited October 29, 2020 by Marklo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Maybe a bath of the stuff. It will be no consolation whatsoever, I imagine, but you have a rare gift for making a hellish time for you entertaining for the rest of us through the verve & quality of your writing. I doubt that helps, but it’s fun for us... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 So sorry you're having a bad time at the moment PC. Seeing all the comments about the virus re-enforces to me just how lucky we are ( so far )in our french rural bubble. Stay safe everyone.

Marklo Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I’ve always wanted a Falcon. But I wouldn’t argue with the Rickenbacker either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire those midcentury men who seized their destiny by the hands and went out to get a pack of cigarettes and never came back. Hi Edward, I think I heard the voice of Johnny Cash there, but his protagonist went out for the papers as I recall. It was good to be able to enjoy another of your intros, I'd been wondering where you'd got to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
