I have a friend whose wife passed away 5 years ago and is concentrating on building his layout. He doesn't care how much it costs and he asks me to order the stuff for him. It comes from Germany to my place in a huge box and I just say it's not for me it's for him. Of course I had a few items for myself and she doesn't know that I'm acquiring my supplies. So find a friend to pass the blame onto.
		Take it easy . . . . or any other way you can get it !!!!

Joined: 07/01/2015(UTC) Posts: 729 Location: England, Suffolk		my wife seeing I'm not at all happy with my layout and train traffic told me to give up. It is summer after all and why would I want to pass my days inside, she says. So the other day she suggested we went for fish and chips on the Suffolk coast. We had a nice picnic on the beach, isolated, very relaxing and fun. We managed to see a seal too :-) She's right, maybe I vocer them up for the summer o dismantle and start afresh in Autumn ? Maybe she' right.

A package arrived from MSL not long ago. It was sitting just outside the front door but my wife didn't see it. I saw it when I came home from walking the dog. I let the dog into the house from the back door as always. Then I pretended to stay out in the backyard for a few minutes. I walked around the house and made sure I stayed underneath the window sills, just like a police raid in the movies. I pull the package from the front porch while remain hidden. I quickly got back to the back porch and hid the package under the porch furniture. Later when I let the dog out I took the package down to the man's cave and I was home free.
