Modelling

And no, I don't mean me in a pair of frilly pants (that would be just too scary!). But today generally has been very train orientated after our purchases of yesterday.

First things first, and we need to sort out the spare bedroom which currently houses Phil's layout. It's very cramped in there at the moment what with the layout on the floor and the futon along side it, it's a bit like an obstacle course! So we decide that putting the layout on top of the futon when it's fully extended would afford us plenty of space to walk around the layout. So after dismantling all the track, pulling out the futon and then placing the baseboard on top and relaying the track we've managed to regain about 1.5 feet either side of the layout which is a bit improvement.

We then head off to homebase to pick up an organiser thingy so Phil can put all his bits and pieces that are train related in once place and whilst were there we are blasted by the smell of hot dogs and onions from the van which is there... so tempting they are in fact we nip to tesco on the way home and get the necessary ingredients to make our own at home, and that's what we have for lunch.. yum!

After lunch Phil sets about making on the of the plastic house models he'd purchased, and after a lot of cussing and swearing, false starts and the like he gets it made and painted it (but not until we've gone back to homebase to pick up some brush cleaner). I help out a bit, by painting the roof, and enjoyed doing it too, between cooking tea (meatloaf) and catching up all the episodes of 24 I'd missed since I'd been away.

Disturbingly it's only now I've noticed that Kiefer Sutherland has very strange earlobes, and now I've noticed it I cant seem to focus on anything else going on in each episode... just his ears!
