Where Is Everyone?

[jims-terrano]

Hi all, where's everyone gone. I'm guessing it's the Bank Holiday!

Is anyone doing anything interesting?

I'm supposed to be fixing the wifes truck but today is a day out. I'm going to see the Vulcan Hanger Tour at what used to be RAF Finningley now Robin Hood Airport. Although it no longer flies they still run it as a museum and the occasional engine runs. There's also a Canbera aircraft which is the trusts next project to get airworthy.

What's everyone else doing?

Morning Jim. I'm sat out the sun atm waiting for the rest to wake up!
Might have a go at filling the hole in the bathroom sink today as clouds are rolling in.
Think the girls want to go shopping so I'll try and avoid that:augie
No plans for anything more except food and ale.:thumbs

Just got in from a couple of hours on the bike, chilling out to the Belgian GP (not chilling to Kodi dropping out from time to time).
Will be doing a bit of work on the truck bed later & trying to work out the best place to put a fridge..
Tomorrow another couple of hours on the bike then maybe a trip out to Hilbre Island depending on tide times or a run out to Bala and Chirk Quarry to have a nose at the pay'n'play sites.
I grew up a couple of miles from Chirk and never knew there was a quarry there, mines yes, a quarry no. :nenau

It's been fantastic, almost too hot, but today is a bit of light drizzle.

Grey n' orrible 'ere...typical Bank Holiday weather.

This afternoon has all the hallmarks for being an afternoon to stick in an old Betty Hutton or Jack Warner film. :thumbs

Weather here has been mid 30s. Today started off sunny, clouded over and then hell of a shower and now the sun's back:cool:

Massive thunder storm early morning, then back to 30degC+ normality.......too hot.

Drove out to a lovely village by a delightful river, where a 'Vide Grenier/Brocante' was taking place. Basically a car boot/antiques sale........I manage to resist buying worse stuff that I've ever given away......:nenau

But.....it is an amazing community event, for young and old, a chance to meet friends have a bite to eat and a few pressions.....:thumb2:thumb2

[jims-terrano]

Back from the Vulcan Experience, great hanger tour and nice to see the Canbera before it is returned to the skies. Well worth it guys if you ever get the chance to go.

With my engineering backgrond I am familiar with it, make sure you have a scientific calculator, the Casio ones for GCSE are fine. Wilko Argos etc That's if you are allowed to use a calculator in the exam lol.

If you can't get your head around it, post which bit, I'm fluent in Swahilli lol :thumb2

If you have any friends whose kids have recently done "A" level maths or Physics, they would be able to help.
Some GCSE sylabus cover some of it, but unless they are going on to study "A" level maths or Physics they will have little interest in it, let alone be able to explain it. lol

You might find this useful.

Calculators Ha Ha when I sat my Chemical Engineering finals as Calculators were in the calculating room and measured about 2 ft x 3 ft with LED displays to 20 decimal places no one could use one as they were not pocket size and the Sinclair Cambridge had not been invented yet.

We were allowed to take in Log Tables, Log to base "e" tables and of course a slide rule !
I had a Faber Castelle Novo Duplex that meant if you used the reverse side it was equivalent to a 24 inch slide rule. It cost me a fortune back then £12. 19s 11p sold it on flea bay a few years back for £40 odd quid.

I decided a few years back that life is too damn short to miss out on stuff. Sometimes I switch phone off and don't work.
You'll fix it Rick 😎

I could happily live here though (it's a short boat ride from N. Wales).
