Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Love that site - one could even buy a hospital !!! Not many classics but I really like this Merc 450 SLC from 1975. Going to make a high price it seems - €7250 with 5 days 10 hours to go!! I take it "Museum vehicle" is the Finnish phrase for Classic Car!! This is a beauty with the great 4.5 l engine

This is on sale from a Classic car specialist in Dublin - he is expensive, but has an excellent reputation and record. 1981 280 SLC €17K

My 1989 Merc 300 SE is at the car doctor's as she needs a new Differential Unit :(
Hi I am not 100% sure but if it is museum registered it only has an MOT every 2/3/5 years and is limited on mileage .It does have to be original though.
 
Morning all, cool, cloudy and windy here yet again today. Just been for a walk to the shops In Werrington, about a mile away. Werrington has been swallowed up by Peterborough but still retains its village identity. Lots of flags and bunting much more than in the rest of the city. They also have a scarecrow trail the theme being Kings and Queens, was disappointed that no one had gone with my choice Charles the First. lol Have good day, all.
 
Not really although it is a fine city it is quite small so quite easy to see most of it .There is a tram the 3t or 3b I think that does a circular route past most things including the Olympic stadium ,nice to do there also used to be a pub tram doing a special sight seeing route but I am not sure if it is running again yet . The booze is expensive so tell him to take some of the boat . There is a theme ride park but it is not so nice weather today yet . There are ferries that take you out into the archipelago that run from the market place which is a good place to start,as you get the tram there as well and he will arrive not far away , the cabs are silly money .
I'm assuming you were a technician rather than a salesperson in your profession Blue. :)

Beautiful day here, got the garden furniture out to make the most of it but the Ireland match calls! I can’t say I know a single Armenian player.
Absolutely horrible down here, but it was forecast. Lots of the village gardens are opening to the public today in aid of charity. It has been organised by the village WI (that's Women's Institute Sass, a club for middle aged female Tories lol ). I'm guessing there will be some lovely private gardens around here but I can't see many venturing out today, which is a shame. If I was a middle aged female Tory I would have been suggesting that they changed the event to yesterday which was still a bank holiday and nothing else was planned for the village that day.

Ha ha Gwladys. Heads falling off all over the place here. lol

There is still time Fred.
 
Hello lovely people.

This morning I’ve been trying to catch up to this thread and I began reading backwards just like Fred.

I want to thank you for the sweet messages of support you all posted a few days ago, I apologise for not writing back right away but I’m still overcoming the deep sadness that has over taken my spirit for days now, but the sun is shining my way and I’m trying to feel better and look at all the bright aspects of the current situation and how to improve things not only for our family but for the whole country. Next Saturday there are marches planned throughout the country against violence and for gun reform and I’m going to be there making my voice heard. Hopefully millions will come out so Congress can get a grip of the support there is to change the current situation. There has been over 230 mass shootings in this country since the beginning of this year, this can’t continue and hopefully in November we will make our voices heard about it too at the ballot.

Sofia is having her 5th grade graduation on Monday and I volunteered to set up and work on the celebration festivities. I can’t believe she will be in middle school in just a few months, she is going through a growth spurt at the moment and she is looking more like a young lady than a kid. The past couple of weeks I was resolved in finding her a therapist and I did, she has began therapy this morning and I hope having this extra form of support will help her deal with all the fears and issues that are arising as she deal with the pressure of becoming a teenager. I’m thrilled my new super expensive health insurance coverage is going to pay 100% of the appointments and there is no even a copayment so this is a huge win for our family.

This weekend the hubby is in Virginia for his uncle’s funeral, but I didn’t go because I’m still testing positive for Covid so just in case I stayed behind. Sofia is also busy with her best friend so I found myself at home all on my own, a very rare experience so I’m trying to figure out what to do with myself. The house is already sparkly clean and the garden is taken care off as well. I may just put a bikini, lay in the sun and read a book and pretend that I’m somewhere in the Caribbean or the Mediterranean lol
 
Yeah it was dire. A few lads I know went to it- 3 flights to get there and watch that.

Did you watch Mayo v Monaghan? I thought Monaghan would do it but not to be.

Nah, Mrs BR (Tipp lady) wanted to see Antrim v Kerry in the Joe McDonagh Cup Final. Incredible comeback by Kerry from 11 points down to just lose by a single point.

Seems Mayo 'laboured' past Monaghan.

Earlier I had a great morning stewarding as Kilkenny Motor Club welcomed the 2022 Gordon Bennett Rally to Kilkenny Castle. Some absolutely fabulous cars.

Fabulous Rolls Royce Titanic Shadow - it was built to the order of the MD of Harland and Wolff which of course built the ill fated Titanic. It is valued at over €1 million. Incredible to see at close quarters. It was completed in 1911, just months before the tragic sinking. After he died, it served as an ambulance, a breakdown truck, was restored in the 1950s, went to USA @Sassy Colombian before going to a collector in Lincolnshire, who painstakingly brought it back to its original beauty over four years.
