Hung out to dry!

Well if you are having to buy fuel for a vehicle you probably do feel as though you are hung out to dry! This mornings bike ride took me past the services where 12 days ago I took this picture of the price totem.

This morning it was now up to £1.869 a litre! I had to take the photo twice as my camera does not deal with the lighting in the figures very well - or maybe its just my camera skills?

Continuing on the theme of hung out to dry I gained a few more bonus points from Mrs. Woody by putting the new rotary drier up. This had only awaited installation for four weeks so I am getting well into the list of things to do - or maybe I am just going for the quick and easy jobs! No matter it soon started earning its living with some washing to dry which in the strong wind of today happened quickly.

Mrs. W even benefitted from lunch out today with a New York Deli sandwich from the nearly out of date cut price counter at the local CoOp! I know I am a cheapskate but at least we had a good view eating it.

 

Despite my new found energy to complete jobs  did have a chance to peruse an arrival for the WMD Railway Division. It is this rather nice 2-6-6-2 Bachman) 0n30 loco to join my existing small collection of such rolling stock. 0n30 is 0 gauge (7mm to the foot) stock running on 00 gauge track so it is a larger version of 009 which all gets very confusing! However the loco is a real cracker with DCC sound. I just need to build that layout for it and its friends to run on! I think that however could blow all my recently earned bonus points with Mrs. W though and get me hung out to dry on the new rotary drier!
