...and another illness, or so it seems when I got my results in fro a blood test I did a couple or so weeks ago. It hasn't been a good week , going to the pharmacy numerous times to find my prescriptios (new, old or pending) either absent or missing items or both. Tody though it was all sorted for me and I am now the (not) proud owner of two new medications and the correct doages for an other medication. If I did running (which I don't) I'd proabbly rattle. With another visit to the opticians under my belt (a minor repair job), a mdeical appointment over the telephone and two hoe tests I had to perform and despatch off (for the samething but to go to different places), it hasn't been a great week. It was all topped off by being given another eye appointment - a regular yearly thing and tomorrow I'm back in hospital for a minor operation to remove a 'stent' (I don't know either), the residual part of my operation back in May.
All in all you can probably tell that I didn't get much of anything done this last week.
I did manage to get harry/Brad looking a bit less like he'd been 'Tangoed' , but it was a quick fix that I wasn't too endeared about.
I also found the 'iron' grill/frame that fitted over the 'jail' window. It had been flattened on the floor and didn't reform well, It took a whole day of searching to find the remanants of the bird feed wire mesh to replace it (still to do.).
Here's a few photos of my 'none' week:

Harry/Brad looking a bit better imo.

Still looking strange, but not orange!

Attempted fixing of squashed mesh (failed)

And that's it, a bit on the slim side of next to nothing - my heart hasn't really been into the hobby this week (again), but I have tried to keep up to date with others' blogs.
Thanks fo rtaking th eitme ot visit and as always comments are welcomed and appreciated.
Really nice looking mini sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks you Michal, not the best model though.
DeleteLooks like tango man has been sorted and the bird feed mesh is just what I'm looking for, where did you get it and how big are the squares ish?
ReplyDeleteBest Iain caveadsum1471
Thanks Iain, he's as sorted as he's ever likely to be.
DeleteThe mesh, iirc, was found in a the garden when my daughter moved, but I've seen them in Wilkos and probably a few other 'cheaper' type of store Poundland, B&M etc,
The mesh is about 6mm square, but is proablay in other sizes too.
DeleteHe's looking less Trump like which can only be good!
ReplyDeleteThe bird feeder mesh looks just right for the Jail.
Hope you have a better week Joe.
Thanks MJT, he's much better too if you squint in a low light.
DeleteThe mesh I thought would be ideal too for Jail bars for 28mm figures.
Great improvement on Harry Joe, hope the health issues start to balance for you soon, as I know, it can take a while.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave, yep he's a lot better than he was (but still no masterpiece). My health is as good as it gets at my age I guess.
DeleteSorry to read that your health isn't great (still) Joe. Definitely isn't fun, I know.
ReplyDeleteHere's something for you to read.
The TV in our kitchen conked out the other night and we had to buy a new one - the main set in the living room is used by someone requiring hearing aids, headphones, subtitles and descriptive text, so its easier to have two TVs.
I went looking for a small TV to replace the kitchen set and ending up having to buy as large a TV as the largest one our household possesses, and even that - 24-inch - is tiny compared to most the the TVs available now. This new TV, I've bought, is all about being connected to the Internet and Alexa (?), so I haven't got a clue what to expect when it arrives.
All we wanted was a small TV set to watch freeview channels at night, before bed. Seemingly, I must be too old fashioned in thinking a television set was just going to be a TV set when I went looking to buy one.
Roy - someone who has, also, to buy a new mobile phone and a computer in the next four months and isn't looking forward to trying to find the right ones for the job.
Hope you have something better to report next week Joe. Take care.
Ha! New, second-TV set bought for the kitchen/dining room has arrived and it's bigger than the television in our living room by two-inches. It's also given me a headache as I'm not used to viewing such a large screen, and the different type of screen technology it uses. I hate new technology!
DeleteI hope yesterday's operation, to remove the stent, went okay and you're not in too much discomfort today. And that you didn't get caught out in any thunder storms, like we had here on the North Yorkshire/County Durham border yesterday morning and last night.
Thanks Roy, I hate buying el;ectronics as Technology really hates me.
DeleteThe op went well and I'm as fit as I could expect to be and yes we were caught in rain leaving the hospital !
It's all good Joe, the hobby will wait for you, without complaint. You will be back at it sooner than you think!
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry, I hope so too.
DeleteNot good to hear you are in poor health again Joe. Get well soon mate.

Thanks Frank, it's become a continual battle but easy to avoid if you don't get old.
