I've got to work on Monday and then I've got 2 weeks holiday.

I'm on holidays as my wife's cousin is getting married in the UK, so my wife is flying to UK on Monday night, this means I need to stay at home so I can get the kids to school and pick them up, also my cat is unwell so it will be nice to spend some extra time with her.......... Ohh wait.....

The wedding is postponed, my wife isn't flying to the UK, school has been cancelled, I had to get my cat put down 2 weeks ago..... Guess we can go on a family holiday down south to Albany...... Oh wait Western Australia has been locked down and I can't leave the metro area of Perth..... Guess I have a lot of spare time to work on my watches and clocks............

Drats my wife has told me that means I have lots of time to paint the house, fix the decking, dig up the lids for the septic tanks so we can get them emptied.

Maybe if I'm lucky I can spend 1 day working on some of my projects.

:D

I think I have enough to do around the house I could be on lock down at my house for 6 months and still not of got everything done I could do. (and that is just on my wife's list) :D

A wife with a list is a terrible thing ! As I sit here tiling the shower room, ! Knowing a full refit of the bathroom still awaits me, and then the hall, bedrooms, and sitting room, and I can't escape because of lockdown. :thumbsd:

First day of hard labour done, many more to follow.

But I did manage to squeeze in what will probably be my last BBQ for the season so the day wasn't all hard work.

Nothing quite like standing on the decking in the back yard  infront of the BBQ with a pint of ale cooking a real feast as the sun is getting ready to set to finish the day.

      Thanks Mark, but can we still discuss the other important matter please and not be distracted from it. Thank you.

      Who's doing what in the world of watches today.

      You're probably not going to see a dramatic change but you should probably figure out what the lift angle is as it probably is not 52°

      In tandem with my last post regarding the removal of Google Adsense on this website - I have also decided to fully self fund this site as a gift to the watch repair community of which I’ve been a member of, and have benefited from since being extremely lucky to gain an apprenticeship back in the late 80s.    Well, that means that I have also closed down my Patreon account - or, to be clear, stopped all future transactions on my Patreon account and this is with immediate and permanent effect.    not to mention, but I will, I really really do appreciate the contribution all my patreon and PayPal supporters have provided over the years, you guys have been absolutely awesome and helped to keep this forum alive and available for those who might not be able to afford the payments.    again, from the bottom of my heart thank you.

      My pleasure. I would rather pay more than have those annoying ads ruin this site. They were a terrible idea and something I never even saw much, but I was on my iPad yesterday testing a security update for the forum software and it was impossible. I decided then - they had to go!!! Also, co-incided with this, for those who are paying for pattern in order to help fund this site - I’ve just disabled patreon. Future monthly payments will not be taken.  PayPal is a little more complicated. I will try to work out how to cancel the few subscriptions but if you are a PayPal donator then please feel free to cancel the monthly sub.  I will, however thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping to contribute to this site financially - it means a lot. But going forward, I’m funding it personally from my pocket and that’s the end of it 😄

      Thank you Mark it definitely makes the site looked much nicer. Although I didn't mind the ads as long as it helped to pay for the messageboard but sometimes when you had the feeling that there were more ads than message board yes it was a little annoying. Thank you
