A cold and wet day!

Trying to get over the loss of Smudge cat yesterday evening and it will take time but she will always be remembered by Mrs. Woody and myself.

Yesterday will also be remembered for my morning at the Rocks By Rail Museum where the cold and wet were bone chilling You just had to look outside to see that it was  - well wet and cold!

By the end of the morning Rob looked as though he was ready to go to the Artic with his cold weather gear!

Even Riley was coated up!

Despite the weather things have progressed on with things in the restoration shed with firstly the CAT (not Smudge but the mechanical type) needing fixing as it did not move. The fault was eventually traced to a blown fuse which Rob found as I had sat in the cab with my foot on the brake just in case! It was also interesting to see what life behind bars could look like as the windscreen is protected by bars across it just like a prison cell! Maybe that is why Rob is trying to entice me to get into the cab!
