It's the hot flushes that get me down , especially in the current heat waves! Roll on the Winter when I should have had the radiotherapy and be off the hormones! I've had my moneys worth out of the NHS in the last few years.

Fortunately they seem to be the only side effects I’ve had so far although they seem to be less frequent now - or just less apparent in the heat.

I thought I’d got away with it but my hair started falling out on Tuesday and has continued to do so.

Not sure which look to go for…

This

Or this

Back to Irish Railway Modelling, and the next project has arrived

Plan is to finish it in Black & Tan livery.

Phoenix “CIE Golden Brown” enamel airbrushed on.

Self adhesive car wheel balancing weights fixed to chassis.   I got a big box full of these quite cheaply several years ago before they started being sold as single strips to railway modellers at exorbitant prices.

I think you can still buy them cheaply in bulk from automotive sources / car parts suppliers.

Befriend your local tyre dealer, the weights often get thrown away. the metal only discolours .

I’ve had this box of weights for about 10 years now and am just about half way through.  

I think I’m good.
