    @League - I pick flowers from the garden for the house (her) every 3 days or so, I am therefore a prolific romantic, not really it’s become routine. If you ever see me buying flowers it can only be because I have a mistress or it’s a Birth, Funeral etc of somebody I know. If I had no flowers in the yard I would buy her flowers once or twice a year like the rest of you, probably from those beautiful woman who sell flowers for charity.
    I exclude Vanash because he has a degree in woman studies and probably has a discount account at the florist.

    I only read Phil’s post now so it’s too late Phil, but dam good advice though. Nonetheless I have saved the day by preparing a beautiful supper, which should arrive any second now and I got some chocolate. Lucky for me my daughters 3rd birthday is on Saturday, so my wife is so involved with the party stuff that she was not even angry at me since I am her slave until the party ends I guess.

      Very busy. One of my staff members sent my wife a Whatsapp message at 8H30 on Monday morning saying that she is not coming to work and she quits. Great, I am truly happy because she was kinda useless anyway. I had to set everything up so that she could push the start button on the laser. She came in late 80% of the time and at the end of January she owed us 12 days leave. Anyway, good riddance. I've spent most of the week running the lasers, vinyl printer and sometimes decal printer simultaneously. It sound complex but its not really. I would do the drawing, get the machine running and then move on to the next machine and get it running. While that is going I do the next drawings or build PC boards or do whatever needs to be done. Each machine has its own PC with a monitor and stuff on my desk so its easy to keep an eye on the lot. Its 7:30 now and the laser is still going. I'm cutting 20 robot kits for a guy who teaches kids robotics by using Arduino electronics and all sorts of sensors and motor and stuff. The course that he presents s really fascinating. He works a full day and in the evenings either prepares courses or presents courses. Once the job is done I need to decide whether finish another job, complete three circuits for the trains, or read. I think that I will end up running the laser, watching a movie on the PC and finishing the circuits (they have to go out tomorrow) The circuits are simply DC constant current lighting controllers for the trains. Although the trains are DC powered their power is reversible. So the trick is to put a bridge rectifier in the circuit to force the output into a known DC direction state, then its simply a matter of adding despiking caps and constant current TO92 package devices in line with the leds (which are ground down so that the light can be sent through a pair of optic fibres.

      I don't know why I go into so much detail, maybe its because I enjoy what I do. Anyhow, time to eat and get back to play aka "work"

        You got your hands full there, but its good you like what you do that's important. It makes it all worth it in the end.

          Fuck I’m bummed I wanted to get a clown for the kids party and while he is here, get him to jump on the trampoline – use the pic as a avatar for a week, but my wife said “its not with theme... its Pixy and her Pixy friends!” There has also been much debate as to where Pixy herself stays which was settled when she made me watch the episode where they show her house. I have also learned many facts about fairies in the last few months. I will post some pics in the next few days and reveal what I have been building for months...

          My anniversary is going great by the way, thank you League. She took off work tomorrow, so she will work until very late tonight getting everything perfect for the party, I am also sort of taking off tomorrow, luckily I have completed most of my tasks and assignments, helping her here and there. I will do something romantic on Sunday like allowing her to watch me catch a fish for her.

          So League, how long have you been married? And how often do you buy flowers out of the blue? You love bunny you

            Why not get a clown and get him to put on some fairy wings then make him fly on the trampoline, just tell her it's Pixy's ugly step sister coming to visit. Oh how sweet of you for allowing your wife to watch you catch dinner

            Well she is oversees at the moment so buying her flowers is a little hard now, but I will swing by and pick some of yours,hahaha

                        From the mound of soil that came out of the trampoline hole I made a bike track and ramps. There is a network of interconnected roads and 7 bridges. On the one end is the mini town or Pixy village. The fountain runs into a river that runs the whole length. My little one plays there all day long and helps me plant and dig, she has her own wheel burrow with tools...

                        The party was a great success and the kids had a phat jol. The last mom that left said that you know it was a good party when the kids cry when they have to go home.

                            Thanks League, yeah the party was a party

                            I was whipping the kids with a shamback to waai...nah..., but Dad will put the fear of god in her boyfriends at the compulsory fishing/hunting trip. Thankfully such troubles are still far away and I can sleep peacefully for now.

                            The clown still remains somewhat of a letdown though, I assumed we will get one and fought to get one once I realized he’s not coming. I was going to give him a 20min (More if possible) training session before the kids come and then he must jump really high and sprinkle fairy dust, do tricks, basically a jumping clown...say 15min at a time 2-3 times. As his assistant I would have double bounced him freeking high! aaah it would have been magnificent. I will make that clown fly yet!

                            Not one kids fell hard and by the end of the party all of them were riding that ramp rather confidently, this one kid would zip around the others on the edges and fly past ramping with some impressive airtime...brake skidding and he's only 3.

                            My next step is to make some kind of mini train or tram track
