The good news is .... My mate Mark has saved Christmas!
The darn plumbers never showed to fix their mistakes but Mark grabbed his tool bag ( and his young son!) and came to the rescue!
A couple of hours later, both leaks fixed!
Yay!
💦💦
With the house warm and dry again I've been relaxing with my new NASA 2001 Space Glider, the unusual blue one. It's a real Austrian beauty!
Our plastic Christmas gnomes think so too! They'd like a ride home!
To Finland!
(At least I think I they're Finnish looking at the label!)
My old Mum and Dad are with me in spirit too. Mine was a difficult entrance into the world 65 years ago today, but I'll be forever grateful to my old Mum for going through hell for me, spending weeks recovering in hospital once I arrived that Christmas in 1960.
Thanks Mum!

Yes, your wonderful Baby Blue NASA Glider is your "Christmas Miracle" - straight from the North Pole to you! SFZ
ReplyDeleteHa ha, the NASA Miracle! Great name for a Spaceship SF! Thanks.
DeleteCongrats again Woodsy! Great to hear that your plumbing woes are over and replaced by sheer birthday joy and that adorable heaven sent NASA glider.
ReplyDeleteI believe the Christmas gnomes are Swedish but close enough nevertheless!
Thanks a lot Arto and the gnomes are happy to be Swedish too. Happy Xmas!
DeleteHappy Birthday Paul! Had we gone to the same school together, you'd have been in the class one year below me, the same year my dear friend Wayne Stock was in. Wayne and I had known each other before either of us started school. And it feels as if I'd also go to know you during those wonderful far off days of the mid-sixties.
ReplyDeleteA little boy came into the world a few days ago, Wayne's grandson, by his daughter Rachel, who broadcasts with us at Celtica Radio.
That little boy will share a similar birthday to you. Navigating that difficult set of dates when a child is born near to Christmas.
Have a great day on this your birthday Paul, and have a great Christmas.
Happy birthday my friend.
Lovely memories Bill. Congrats to Rachel and her new baby son. A safe, healthy Christmas to you all 🖖🧑🎄🧸
DeleteGreat to hear you got your plumbing issues resolved Woodsy - bad timing that! I LOVE that glider: AWESOME + !
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch Ed! ðŸª
