Davina's diary vol 3, life goes on... continued

I may have missed it but what type of car? I'm a car girl too. My first car was a 1956 Chevy BelAire.

[davina61]

Its my street rod 1951 Austin Countryman, if you watch my You tube post its the first one in the vid.

I was looking at a Morris Minor several years back. My son from my first marriage saw it for sale. Those are rare in the states. I was going tonget it and he and I could rebuild it. Alas a divorce destroyed our relationship.

Is Austin the same as Auston Martin for cars?

[davina61]

No Aston Martin is a different firm, Austin was part of British Leyland/ Austin Rover till they went bust.

2 days of standing around talking to folks about my car, it was a bit chill so good job I put thick socks on. Video of our car club line up on my You Tube if anyone wants to look. Davina Baldwin-WP1ff is the post.
 Glad of a sit down now, it was more tiring than a days work. At least its just microwave reheat dinner tonight. Had a lady talk to me yesterday, she was trans.

I love the Roadsters, but the color of the Countryman is awesome. You are an artist, Davina!

[davina61]

Its Porsche Indian red, needs some rectification in places but that finish is straight out the gun. Have to park it on mums drive this morning and swop back to the daily, wish I had a place with a big garage and drive. Sigh---

D had a near miss on Fri, one of the new cables we fitted to his outside lift snapped. Good job he was stood at the controls, car he was working on got a bit scuffed and it has damaged the wall to my workshop and broken a window. Good job as well there were a few folks there at the time so they gave him a hand, he had to get the car lifted out the way with a farmers fore loader!
 Got some more panels made and welded in, spark jumped down my work top and went in my bra and singed my right boob. That made me jump up and down for a bit!!

Waiting for my right foot to work this morning, its played me up since I was 20 something. Could hardly put weight on it when I got out of bed, did a lot of standing on tip toe to get the bones back in place but it still is hurting. Most days it just a small ache that I ignore, must have stood twisted on it yesterday as that puts it out. I did get my lunch and flask ready to go to the workshop but might have to stay in.

Oh nooo..hope your foot decides to get better so you can get some work done. Especially as you're all ready to go.

Yes it did start to work after some manipulation to get the bones back into place, almost 11 buy the time I got there but finished doing what I wanted. Onto the other front wing next, not sure if I will go down there tomorrow.

Awww so glad you got sorted. There just in time to still have your packed lunch. Knowing you it was something very tasty 😋

[davina61]

Just 5 small plumb tomatoes, 3 slices of cucumber and an apple. I should be as slim as a whippet (I wish)

Happy birthday Davina! Best wishes and hope you have a nice one. Enjoy!

Thanks all, I am having a day at home with my feet up. Right foot is still playing up but getting better, just needs more tip toe stretching to tighten tendon. Eldest is calling in later, daughter messaged me and got quite a few happy birthdays on FB.
 Nothing fancy for dinner, defrosted some corned beef pasties and will do mash, cauliflower and gravy. I do have some fresh strawberries to use up so might make a cake or something with them.

Corned been pasties with that veg sounds nice. Doesn't need to be too extravagant to be tasty. Strawberries yummy too and sure you'll make something great with them. Have fun.
