13 October 2025

It's been a while, partially due to the side effects of the latest heart medication which is depressing my pulse rate further. Got the OK to stop taking it again this morning, but it will be a few days for it to clear my system and hopefully back to a better state of mind. Everything is woolly at the moment.

It's not actually stopped me getting on and doing things, so a few things have been completed such as the boat building slip and workshop cabinet ready to work on one of the boat kits. I've also managed to pick up a 1:24 scale traction engine model which will replace the one that was lost from my old collection. Have some of the missing pictures on order as well which have frames ready for them when they arrive. ALL the pictures on the walls are now in proper frames, rather than just being taped to the blank wall, although I could do with some emulsion of the right colour to touch up the marks left my the masking tape.
