Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!
Trying to order some pink n purple dichroic glass that's not way over the top in price, is becoming my latest nightmare. I just spent a couple of hours trolling around to find some, but the orders for pinks are not really going to happen. Rare as, at the moment.
It is definitely time for the warm bed, so goodnight all xxx
Spent today trying to cut an 18inch circle of glass to fit into a fluro light fitting. It has white glass in that is so dense that not much light gets through. So I found a lovely streaky, cloudy pattern with clear and grey blue glass. I thought it looked good, but not to be that easy. I cut a lovely circle and the glass just shattered. Way too many stress fractures. So I tried another tactic and cut four lovely quarter circles and wrapped the edges in copper foil. Tomorrow I will solder all the foil together and it should be a proper circle to put in the fitting. I do understand that glass can be very unstable, but my day seemed to revolve around just one light fitting and hopefully the solution will be the end of the problem.
Fang farrier tomorrow, cracked the crown again. Did it in Alice Springs, but wont admit to that!
Stay warm n dry you lot,
Off to a warm bed, so goodnight everyone xxx
I am watching my favourite sob fest movie (Ghost) must be the 10th or so time but I need to have a nice warm shower then hit the sack as I'm knackered so I shall say goodnight everyone x Goodnight Toolman x hope you are nearly all mended.
Queen of the Banal & OT chatter and proud of it. If it offends you then tough titty titty bang bang.
Wow, thanks for that suggestion Jon. You have no idea how expensive glass is when brought in from USA. I have never used alibaba before, so tried to make a small purchase to see how it arrives. But I suspect that for the $100 that I just spent, I would usually pay at least 5 times that amount. Obviously the quality will be a big factor as well, but I can only lose the $100, so well worth the try. Thanks for doing that research. Do you buy off that site or just like to browse???
Dot, you keep on beating me to bed, is old age creeping up too fast or what?
Fang farrier today was painful, both in the gob and on the purse, so needing to sleep off some pain killers. So sleep well everyone, good night xxx
Hope you all had a wonderful evening and the celebrations were fun. Dot I know you don't drink n drive, so did you stuff your face instead? Sugar overload maybe?
Heavy duty painkillers worked well last night, but could have slept all day. Anyway, I did a lot of packing and sorting the business stuff. Tomorrow we have to be in Hornsby RSL by 9 AM for a market day, so had to have it all packed n ready in the car before bedtime. I will probably get a bit of extra snooze time in the car with HWMBO doing the driving. He is a fantastic roady! I get to deal with the customers though, he draws a line on that. Heavy lifting, driving helping to set up and that is his job done.
Off to get some of that needed shut eye, so good night all n sundry xxx
