What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Shopping day

With Christmas coming up, I decided to take a Friday off and do a bit of shopping, with a focus on ME.





OMG, Found an R2D2 something - anything will do really, but this is a Beer fridge!
Wish I had a 3D printer, I would have added legs, motorized it so it follows me around the garden so cold beer is always on hand.

I ended up finding fairly good Christmas presents for a couple of the grand kids, but who knows what they will like for more than 2 minutes.

Think maybe I'll get Santa to get me a milling machine or wood lathe. I really would like steel lathe but think I'm going to have lots of wood work experiences coming up and very little steel work (nothing more fun than cutting a thread on steel rods and the smell of the lubricant/coolant).

Lube and a fan for coolant works well for me.

Yes Toni, it's getting too hot for a wig or makeup without serious aircon. The light blue wrap dress is what I wore all morning. The blue baby doll type top has shoulder straps, but I wasn't keen on that look, but would be a nice for a private event - maybe I should have got it for my wife?
