jok 3,035 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Look at the quality of the props. Ffs montblanc cuff links, leather bound volume, wristwatch to die for and a fountain pen to sign off your cheques. Now then Spurfer are you being totally honest you left all your tools in Germany??? What a lovely thing. You do make things and make them look the best. Regards. Stay safe. Jok. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not that Andalucía isn't nice (it's wonderful) but there is nothing as a deep green forest and the smell of wet leaves. My workshop is actually my father's in law workshop and they live a 30km away, so no way to get there in the actual lock down situation. Anyway, I try to do as much as I can at home, everything that makes dirt (my wife would kill me cutting with an angle grinder in the kitchen) in the workshop. Hopefully I can get back in a few weeks.

People have a short time memory. But a lot of stupid restrictions, you can meet up to 10 friends at home or in a pub but you can't enjoy a walk in the countryside with your family... Well, one day hopefully we will return to normal... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, one day hopefully we will return to normal... Mate tell me about it, I'm in Barcelona Can't go out together, except between the windows 8-11am and 8-11pm and only if you live together. Supposedly they're opening the beaches today but you can't swim Soon we'll be able to meet in groups but masacrillas are obligatory, even though if you go down to Barceloneta every evening you'll see hundreds of people all training together without them. Granted most are observing the distancing laws but logic has gone right out of the window in my opinion in regards to the phasing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
