On Saturday 13/04/2024 a meeting of people who do Postcrossing happened at DownsSteam. This is a scan of the souvenir postcard. www.postcrossing.com Thanks to SV1XV (a Contact here) for educating me about this on Ipernity some time ago.

The Australian state of Queensland has this weekend had its four yearly Local Government election. To encourage us to vote for the current Councillors in my region some of our streets received gold paving. :-) March 2024. See the PiP to be disillusioned.

My wife went to the letterbox this morning and the magpies were interested in what was happening. March 2024. See PiPs.

Happy New Year fellow Ipernities. Today, 11/01/24, is my first day at DownsSteam for 2024. The main task of the day was to clean up the brass window frames belonging to loco 1037. Some experimentation showed that wire brushing was the best starting action. This photo shows the tools, drill with brush and woodworking vice, and the partly completed third of the four frames. The PiP shows two completed and the one not yet started frames. January 2024.
