My FAWW, which is short for Financial Advisor and Wallet Watcher (aka Mrs. Woody)

As a result of my airbrush compressor having given up the ghost, my FAWW, which is short for Financial Advisor and Wallet Watcher (aka Mrs. Woody) has released funds for a new compressor which is now ordered and should arrive soon. I now also need to negotiate with her for funding for a new printer as that blew up (literally) when I switched it on today! 

In the meantime I managed to just get a bit more air out of the old compressor to apply some top coat paint to the BG Scammel Pioneer Tank Transporter and Crusader tank parts. It was a painfully slow job but at least it begins to look more like a model heading towards being finished then it did last week!

Hopefully the new compressor will make life a bit easier! It would be great if it could also make life a bit easier with fuel prices by compressing them back a bit! Regular readers of this blog may recall back in March 2022 I posted about the rising price of fuel in this post and then again in June in this post and this post. Well things are more or less back where we were four years ago. Same petrol station just four years on!

Highest petrol price in the UK?,

In other news and just when I thought things might go right I heard a siren behind me whilst out on a bike ride! I had visions of being carted off for breaking a speed limit ( I like to be optimistic about my cycling proficiency and speed) but no, it was a Fire Engine! Well at least I got to take a photo of it without being carted off!
