town and trains.
What a dull day!
Fog (not too thick) shrouds the town.
We went into town this morning - used the bus both ways today.
Bumped into some old friends - that was lovely.
We half sorted out a slight problem with our new credit cards - well, we were told how we could sort it out.
I bought some stuff to deal with woodworm - I'll do that when it will feel good to work outside.
Bill got his watch batteries changed at a stall in the market. What a shame that the town has such a paltry market.
We noticed a few things pointed out on the Memories page. The cinema is still standing - just.
And somebody had seen the very faint remnants of the word PROVISIONS on a wall in Church Walk.
The general feeling is that this was the wall of an old town shop called Kinghams.
It was too faint to photograph today.
I have to confess that the afternoon passed without much work being done.
Never mind.
I took a photograph of the picture I bought yesterday - the decorated locomotive.
It was rather dull indoors and the quality was not very good - but computers can enhance poor pictures quite well.
I must get that tatty label off.
Whoever wrote it didn't copy the name of the loco accurately anyway.
Just to remind you the loco was decorated for a station masters and inspectors excursion from Victoria on the London, Brighton and South Coast railway.
I just noticed - its on a turntable.
