Superb Richard, and thanks for the finger.
(I always show my finger nail too. Just in case people think I'm a pervert!)

Hey thanks Jim, Peter and Andy for chyming in and catching up.
The Malay etiquete is to point with the thumb so no mis-interpretations. :smiling6:
I had some difficulty as the filament was very flimsy and will move at any bit of wind. It'a thinner than hair. I tried at first from the bottom up and couldn't stick the end down tight enough so I reversed the sequence but again made the mistake of attaching the remaining 8 at one go...they all got tangled with the next gust of wind from the fan. Spent more time untangling then attaching the other ends.

Cheers
Richard

I had to step away from the bench today to cool off after spending too long with just a short run of railing on the left rear deck house.
So before I went beserk I decided to look at the flowers in the garden. :smiling6: :smiling6: I am slowly getting some idea of working with these Eduard railings...as long as the bottom rung is glued down straight I can tease the rest of the railing into shape I think. Cross me fingers.

Cheers,
Richard

Very nice of Jen thank you. The seed pods are small on mine so there are only six to eight seeds which are edible. They are nice when made with sweet herbal tea with longan.

Cheers,
Richard

Congrats on the antenna Richard. Very intricate work very well done.
Great stuff.
The Lotus is pretty special too!

Thanks Paul, very encouraging. More stuff in the garden to clear my head before calmly applying the damn railings. :smiling6: :tears-of-joy:



The passion fruit flowers look like something from Mars...ah! Antenna. :smiling2:


Soon back to regular programming.

Cheers,
Richard

[Andy Belsey]

Slowly but steadily pays off eventually. Great work Richard!
All those flowers are beautiful. We live on a wonderful planet, if we take the time to look around and appreciate it. I believe in a creator and can't believe it is just chance. (Who cares how long it took?)

7 days and 7 nights I guess Andy. :smiling3:
Thanks btw, much appreciated.

Well this was what slowed me down...them pesky railings from Eduard...


I may want to re-do the rear platform railings...just doesn't look good after one and a half hours. :disappointed:

Cheers,
Richard

Well the railings have certainly put up a good fight. These are not easy to do at the best of times

P.S. I have the lotus flower tattooed on my arm. A beautiful example in your photo

Hi Steve, thanks for dropping in and commenting. Ya at times the fight is really tough and I get bruised (confidence). Its a matter of deciding to clean it up and redo to get it right.
Can your lotus flower ripple? :smiling2:

Cheers,
Richard
