Starblazers!
I’m not sure what year it was, but I must have been only young. I was sitting in front of our wood framed colour (yes colour) Rank Arena television watching the Australia Broadcasting Corporation and I have memories of a space ship that looked like a sea going bulk hauler flying through space. It was at this point in time when my father brought in a National Video Cassette Recorder and turned off the television. Whilst the VCR was amazing technology for the time, I had no concept of what it did and it certainly made it difficult to work out what the tv show was. I never saw the show again. Over twenty five years later I was looking through the Virtual Primate blog and what did I find? A bulk carrier that is actually a spaceship! I can … Continue reading

Thy wee bit housie, too, in ruin! Its silly wa’s the win’s are strewin’: And naething, now, to big a new ane, O’ foggage green! An’ bleak December’s winds ensuin’ Baith snell an’ keen! Thou saw the fields laid bare and … Continue reading

Someone is wrong on the internet!
Not sure who the author is of this gem but I thought I’d share:
MX5 painting
This last weekend I have been helping a friend to paint their car. Well I’ve been getting them to do all the sanding and surface preparation and I’m silly enough to do the paint spraying (and inhaling). This weekend we got an undercoat layer on the outside of the panels and did a coat of colour on the inside of the panels just to seal them off. Next weekend we’ll do the final outer coats. The unfortunate thing of spraypainting with just a dust mask for protection is you’re really without much protection. Fortunately I’m not spraying two pack but I’m still not feeling the best after the experience of spraying in a comfined space. Before I do any more I’ll be buying a proper breathing mask that can supply an external air supply. The undercoat was looking so good … Continue reading

I’d like to get back into drawing.
A quick & extremely poor attempt.
