I Am Still Alive Aswell :)
« on: March 07, 2007, 20:00:20 »
Hello  Everyone

Well i didn't think i would be writing one of these but i think i qualify now seeing as i have been away that long !! What can i say to fill you in without boring you all rigid ;D ? As some of you might have noticed i have still been popping by every now and then but i have been suffering from the modelers equivalent of 'writers block'. The good news is i am slowly motivating myself to start making things again :woohoo:. This means i have started work on those special items of fire service equipment i promised several friends a while back ( you know who you are  :)9  :lol: )

Since i last posted i have brought my first car which put a big hole in my Playmo budget and left me a little short on cash. Things are picking up again but to be honest there hasn't been anything on the Playmobil front that i have wanted to buy that has been released here 'yet :lol:'. My cousin and his family visited us from Australia just after Christmas and it was total chaos for a week but well worth it !! We were all sad to see them go but hopefully one day i will be able to visit them again. I am still working for the Council doing various odd jobs tidying up our streets which means you will see lots more Playmobil 'Council' vehicle customs in the near future. I am still mad on rescue vehicles of various different types so there will be plenty more story's and conversions on this front. If you hadn't allready guessed i am still waiting (very patiently hehehe) for the new Ambulance sets to be released !! When they arrive in the shops i will be adding a 'few' to my collection.

On a final note its good to be back, i love the new smilies  :yippee:!!

Kindest Regards  Tim

Hello, Tim ...  :wave:

Are either you or Gordon going to tell us about your meeting? Are there photos to share of this event? ...  :camera:  I'm sure that I am not the only curious member here at PF ...  8}

Glad your back.

All the best,
Richard

Hello  All

Thank you for all the warm welcomes back, it feels as though i havent even been away. My meeting with Gordon went very well indeed Richard, infact it is the second time we have met to share ideas over a cup of tea :). Unfortunatley we havent got any pictures of the meeting and i am a little bit camera shy, infact cameras dont really like me :lol:

Kindest Regards  Tim  :wave:

You know what curiosity did to the cat, Richard! ;D  Seriously, though, I go down to Birmingham two or three times a year to run some training. It's a matter of down one, train the next and then home that evening.  Tim lives near Birmingham so if I can I travel down early the day before the training and look in on him for a couple of hours for a natter and a cuppa.  It's also a good way to drop off or collect stuff which is pricey to post such as books as I am paid expenses for the journey.

But, satisfaction brought him back, Gordon ... :P

Thanks for the explanation, Gordon. Sounds like you and Tim have some enjoyable times together.

All the best,
