When The Cat's Away.....

Pssst ............ I hate to tell you...............

I had to do a taxi run for Bags and the monsters this morning -- The Cygnet to a friend's house  and then on to the station to drop the girls off. The Cygnet has tennis and the girls were going into town on a shopping spree and then afternoon tea.

Of course, there was no warning sign on the dashboard of the car.
I am going to like like a right dope if I traipse all the way to Peebles on Monday morning and there is nothing shows up.

I spent a fair time in the garage fitting the new blade on the bandsaw.
What a palaver that is .... 3 different sizes and spanner, an Allen key and a screwdriver. Not to mention a lot of bad language.
More time was spent on trying to remove the broken screws from the chunk of wood on the lathe. More work will need to be done or they will snap again if I try getting them out with pliers. But that will wait until tomorrow.

It was a quiet afternoon watching a series of interviews with Alfred Hitchcock .... very insightful and entertaining - followed by watching 'The Lady Vanishes'. It is a standing joke that I will ask SWMBO if she is going to stay awake for it. It must have been 25-30 years of marriage at least before she saw it all. Now she has seen bot versions in 2 weeks. Mind you, she fell asleep just after it finished today and took herself off to bed without anything to eat.
