So, where is this warmer weather?

Waking up this morning I was anticipating a day of steadily increasing temperatures bringing an end to this particular cold spell. Although technically the temperature rose it was not much and it felt colder this afternoon then for the previous week and a half. Probably down to the cold wind and rain. This sort of weather is not exactly enticing to do much other than try to keep warm and watch a few films. Todays choice was a rerun of the two Sherlock Homes films - I may have seen both many times but they still entertain! To bring about that feeling of warmth the WMD HQ fire was lit. It is not a big fire place but just enough to generate some heat and give that cosy feeling on a cold, wet Winters day!

They say animals are frightened of fire but the steady stream of the WMD HQ feline fleet to warm themselves in front of the fire perhaps shows something strange with my cats!

Despite the delights of a good film, a warming fire and a comfy sofa I did manage to get the canvas cover fully mounted over the cargo bed. It was a bit of a struggle and there was almost a contribution to the swear jar but with some super glue it all went together reasonably well.

I will need to finish the cab and then get that, the hood and the cargo bed mounted on the chassis which will see most of this kit finished as fas as building goes. Painting it will be entertaining no doubt but I need some warmer weather before I can consider that. Now where is that weather forecast....
