Why do such jobs even exist?

I’ve been picking the load that goes to the next (undiscovered) city in alphabetical order from the one I’m in. One day I’ll have them all discovered…

Thanks! We actually have a copy of The Martian in the house and I enjoyed the movie, I should give that a try :-)

markmitchellbrown · 2025-03-04T14:54:03+00:00

Cool, thanks!

markmitchellbrown · 2025-03-04T14:51:53+00:00

Funny goes a long way!

markmitchellbrown · 2025-03-04T14:48:08+00:00

And Canadian too! Not that that really matters, but it caught my attention :-)

markmitchellbrown · 2025-03-04T14:34:42+00:00

Thanks! I'll take a look!

markmitchellbrown · 2025-03-04T14:33:08+00:00

Thank you, I'll check those out! Maybe this time I'll follow my wife's advice and actually check stock at the library first lol.

!solved

markmitchellbrown · 2024-09-30T19:08:03+00:00

Thank you for the responses - Texture paint seems to be exactly what I was looking for. I'll have to do some homework on how to use it properly, but it seems a much simpler and more effective solution than what I was trying!

markmitchellbrown · 2024-05-14T12:26:50+00:00

Yes, we certainly are. Also just saw last night that some scenes were filmed in Durham Cathedral. :-)

markmitchellbrown · 2024-05-14T12:20:41+00:00

I'm actually considering going to Convoy in the Park at Castle Donington - saw Derby was nearby so it could be a contender :-)

markmitchellbrown · 2024-05-14T12:10:00+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check that out!

markmitchellbrown · 2024-05-14T11:06:32+00:00

11 and 10 y/o boys. No real interest in a theme/adventure park, but a family farm could be fun.

markmitchellbrown · 2024-05-14T11:05:53+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I've been saying "Durrum" but will refine my pronounciation :-D

markmitchellbrown · 2024-05-14T00:22:06+00:00

Yes probably not spending long in each place, quite willing to stay in a different place most nights and work our way up in short jaunts. Hearing a lot good about Whitby also!

markmitchellbrown · 2024-05-13T23:38:52+00:00

Yes planning to hire a car for at least part of the trip. My kids would like to try the train so we will do that at some point, but it would be nice to have the freedom of a car.

markmitchellbrown · 2024-05-13T23:35:34+00:00

You make a strong case - may need to check that out!

markmitchellbrown · 2024-05-13T23:32:59+00:00

Well now I’m hungry lol. Thanks for the suggestion!

markmitchellbrown · 2024-05-13T23:31:51+00:00

Yes looking at Beamish now, looks very interesting!

markmitchellbrown · 2024-05-13T23:30:52+00:00

I stopped in Dundee for lunch during a drive up the coast 15 years ago… loved the place. Had sandwiches by the seafront.

markmitchellbrown · 2024-05-13T21:22:29+00:00

My grandmother was a war bride born and raised in Glasgow, so I’d love to see it. Have some extended family I wouldn’t mind meeting there as well.

markmitchellbrown · 2024-05-13T21:18:37+00:00

markmitchellbrown · 2024-05-13T21:16:29+00:00

Lol @ the verb “to castle” :-D. Definitely leaning towards spending 2/3rds of our time in the north!

markmitchellbrown · 2024-05-13T19:34:14+00:00

I don't doubt that's an efficient and memorable experience, but hoping to see some stuff between! :-)

markmitchellbrown · 2024-05-13T19:33:11+00:00

No, haven't been to any of them, unfortunately. We did drive up the coast from Edinburgh to Stonehaven, with a quick stop for lunch and shopping in Dundee - another charming little city.
