Another bout of heat for Perth Perth has finally cooled down to about average summer levels over the last few days, and is on track to heat up to a balmy 32 degrees today. However, the heat will make a return from the start of the working week, when temperatures will rise to the mid-to-high 30's acr...

Murph. Don't get the wrong idea about the way Margaret and myself live. We have four kids all married and they have everything they just regard us as eccentrics or "The Oldies". Don't forget a few years back I was a car maniac the faster the better. I never knock anyone about how they live...

Now, there's an intriguing remark. I wouldn't even consider being without one - only time I did not have a car, since I was sixteen, was when I lived on Manhattan (for a year+, back in the late-60's) and you know why that would have been the case. Between the time I was 24 years old to 31 years old ...

Don't be heavy handed w...

I run a model Railroad that I have built on a budget I'm only a working class person that has limited money I do almost everything myself I enjoy working alone One of my good friends now handles the electrics. It has about 75 turnouts and the railroad runs every week or more with a group of friends ...

Marty. OK, no more Cypriot cats. I thought it was funny I had a laugh I haven't opened those photos up for a very long time. I spent 10 weeks in Cyprus once and everyday I would take a photo of a cat, the island is full of them. Today I am laying some track and building a wharf. You take care mate. ...

I went into a car park one afternoon to pick up the car I said "here puss puss puss" and they understood!
Apparently the Cypriots say the same thing.

"Wood to metal CA works fine in two steps. CA the wood as a sealant, then the area becomes non-porous and the CA you then use on the joint doesn't get wicked away."

Not a bad tip you should send it to OST. Ha, Ha.
Sorry mate couldn't help myself.

I was standing there minding my own business suddenly the door opened and out ran all these cats!
Cyprus 2010, the cat capital of the world.

I'm watching I have a few myself to paint.
The Scaceman has many talents.
