Oh Dear Oh Dear... Now Some Steam Engines

The naughty little steam engines played on my mind. They were calling take me home... take me home...Tell Ratty.... Tell Lex.... Put us in boats, we are good in boats... I know these little guys are going to be nothing but trouble.

Oh Dear -- More Tools

Whilst Michael continues to find stuff, I seem to find a need to buy more off of him. He wanted to clear a bunch of tools before Christmas and called me to let me know and so I could come over on Friday before the sale to get first pickings. He has tubs and tubs of tools, some sorted some not. Too many to take in at one time. I passed on the taps and dies, and passed on the bunch of steam engines, but came away with

This Weekend....

... Gaye paid a visit to Sheparton to catch up with Owen and Alannah whilst Steve and Regan went to a work function , Vic and John took Maddie and Amelia to the Zoo and I checked out a couple of garage sales which were rather productive.. Came away with a bunch of timber wheels, some drill bits, a spoke shave for $5 (excellent) and a face plate and centres for the lathe.

I asked Maddie on the phone which was her fav animal. Its the BEARS.

Also, Sue tells me she has just got a new bike. Stay posted for pics. It sounds like a beauty.
