Ever since we stopped having the Red Telephone boxes and British Telecom (as it was then) sold them off, they seem to turn up in all sorts of places and countries, here quite a few in village locations have been turned into mini library's.
 
Good morning, all! Only 2 shopping days till Christmas. We awoke to 15 degrees with a feels like of 4. Not cold by Guy's standards, but cold just the same.
Making the last minute preparations for Christmas guests. Wife said I was going to get to run things today, vacuum cleaner and dishwasher.

Maybe I'll finish the build this afternoon, at least that's my intention.

STAY SAFE (WARM)
LATER

I agree, my daughter kept me on the phone for almost two hours.

My little angel's hands were hurting so I mixed the ground pork for her. I was surprised how much work that was and how long it took! ten pounds of very cold ground pork, mixed with rice was a lot of filling for three heads of cabbage. Afterwards my hands were almost useless. The good thing was once my hands warmed up again, they felt better than usual. I can even clench my left hand!

Now my back is talking to me from sitting at the dining room table, but only five more pieces of track to go!

Soon enough I will hear "all aboard, this is the Polar Express"
 
Good afternoon, folks.

Here in Alberta, I woke up to -38F to see the wife off to work. It's now -20F here after lunch. A warming trend is on the way.

Good thing I went out and checked the truck last night, because the battery was frozen and she wouldn't start. That would have created a tough situation when the wife went to work at 6am. As it is, both the charger and the block-heater were plugged in overnight. The truck started just fine this morning.

I'm glad it's warming up some; I don't like it this cold. The school buses arn't running, machinery breaks down, and I don't go ice-fishing in anything colder than -10. I feel sorry for the people living in the Hendrickson Creek area, which has been hitting -54F two days in a row. That place is only 3hrs away from where I'm sitting.

Sorry, no photos today. Perhaps something nice will be parked down at the CN yard on Christmas day. I always go down there on Christmas day, because there's never another soul in the area. It's a good time to get a good locomotive study in.

Have a great day!
 
Afternoon All,

I did all my weekend chores today so I'm free and clear for the weekend. Of course, I'm still at the beck and call of MOH. :rolleyes: The policemen I ordered arrived today, but still waiting on the EMT's and ambulance.

Troy- I hope your back feels better soon.

Lee- Nice job on the hoppers.

Sherrel- Great post and closer to reality than we would like. Feelings seem more important than facts lately.

Louis- I just can't stay interested in video games. My time limit is about 15 minutes playing them.

Willie- Nice Santa scene.

Hughie- I told my wife about you running things at home and she just smiled-I think it's a conspiracy. :D

I hope everyone has a good night.
 
Right, Gentlemen and Ladies.

Tomorrow morning I'm off with my eldest to visit my sister 200 miles away in East Anglia (East Coast), staying for Christmas and New Year, it's not a tradition, I don't have any since my divorce, I do miss the ones we had, more for my kids than anything else.
I'll have my phone so I'll hopefully be able to keep up over the next week.

So I'm going to wish everyone

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year. 🥳 🥳🥳🥳🥳
 


So we never got above freezing today. Currently 28, wind chill 15. A hard freeze predicted. I did finish the O. H. Wright Co.
