Techenders - 27/28/29 April

Won't make this one I'm afraid. Bus is waaaaay behind schedule, it's not painted yet! It should have been done in January but the painter has been ill, hoping to get it done next week then it all needs rebuilding. Very unlikely to do the melon artwork as it involves flatting after paint, airbrushing and lacquering, there simply isn't enough time if I want to use it this summer - which I do!

 

You're twistin' my melon man

Good call, I'm not sure about the melon idea!

Shame you can't make it

Me and @Dicky will be holding firm in the middle as normal, someone has to look after @davidoft

 

Care in the community, is it?

 

his normal carers aren't available!

 

No got abnormal ones instead

 

I resemble that remark

 

Should have seen @1973daisey 's "carers" and fellow "special needs" on their way to the Pig in Muck..


And there were definitely so many buses and others at Techenders I kept losing count.
